Which Microsoft solution makes use of FSMO roles in its servers?

• Microsoft SQL
• Microsoft Sharepoint
• Microsoft Active Directory

EXPLANATION

Because an Active Directory role is not bound to a single DC, it is referred to as a Flexible Single Master Operation (FSMO) role. Active Directory has five special roles that are vital for the smooth running of AD as a multi-master system.
Some functions of AD require an authoritative master to which all Domain Controllers can refer. These roles are installed automatically and normally you would not move them. However if you de-commission a DC and DCPROMO fails to run correctly or if you have a catastrophic failure of a DC you will need to know about these roles to recover or transfer them to another DC.
