That's the reason why you rplicate sysvol from the DC with this roleThis is not what I am seeing here. I just tested it. If I choose a particular DC, it stays there until I change it again. I just chose a DC that does not have the FSMO role. Upon reopening the applet, it is still there. The only way to change it is to choose some other option. I tested on Windows 10 21H2.

That's the reason why you rplicate sysvol from the DC with this roleYou can replicate sysvol using as a source any DC you choose, as long as you have the mechanism in place to do it. Using the DC with FSMO role is just convenient. That's what I do, but only out of convenience, it doesn't *have to be* so.
