Explanation

Creating application partitions in an AD DS forest requires the Domain Naming Master FSMO role holder to be available. The Domain Naming Master is a forest-level role and is always held by a domain controller in the forest root domain. DC1, as the first domain controller installed in the forest root domain (contoso.com), holds the Domain Naming Master role by default. If DC1 fails, no new application partitions (or domains) can be added to the forest because no other DC can authorize the change without this role being seized or transferred.
