To clarify, if you introduce an Essentials SKU in an existing Active Directory domain, it must be promoted as a DC and should have all the FSMO roles; however, if you introduce a Standard or Datacenter SKU and install Windows Server Essentials Experience role on it, the server need not be a DC. However, if an Active Directory domain does not exist, installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience role on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard or Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition will create an Active Directory domain, and the server will become the domain controller at the root of the forest and domain, holding all the FSMO roles
