What happens if Schema master and Domain naming master DC Fails?

Impact if schema master fails:-
The schema master does not hold a lot of information. All Domain Controllers s are holding Read Only copy of Schema, But the Domain controller which holds the schema master role having the writable copy of the Schema. Unless anyone is doing the Schema update or extending schema, there will be no impact.
If the schema master fails you can recreate the server by restoring the backup. Or else if you decide it never come up then you can seizes the role to another DC. So nothing will be lost if the schema master fails. But make sure before sizes the role to any DC, is that never come up again.

Domain Naming Master (DN Master):-

It is just doing the job checking the domain names are unique in the forest while creating new domain. It does not contain any other information. This also can be seized to any DCs.

There is only one Schema Master and Domain naming master in a Forest.
