>> In the Group policy Management applet, on the tree select your domain then go to "Action" menu and choose "Change Domain Controller".
>> If you choose a particular DC, it will become the default DC until you change it.

> Yes, you can change it, but every time you start the grouppolicymanager it will be the DC with the FSMO role PDC-Master. That's the reason why you rplicate sysvol from the DC with this role

You 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.
