Rigid Body Equilibrium Question

If you had a beam with a fixed support at the leftmost end, and some other support somewhere else along the beam that would make the situation statically determinant, how will the moment reaction generated from the fixed support be calculated? Drawing to come.

Ok, so, the sum of the moments of the body should be 0.
Say I wanted to calculate the force reaction of the roller on the right.
If I do sum of the moments at point A (where the fixed support is), do I include the moment reaction of the support?
If I do sum of moments at another point, do I also include the moment reaction?
