Subject: [ActiveDir] Restricting machine to specific DC for domain join
Dear All,

At one of the locations, firewall restricts port 139, 445 towards other locations.

And we are mass migrating computers from this location to our domain.

And We know that, normal 2k/XP machine when asked to join domain, will run LDAP query _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domainname
will go to first DC of returned from the result, and try to create account there.
And if the first DC of the result, is remote DC, this attempts is thwarted by firewall, as client can't make initial connection to remote DC's IPC$

Can we do something about this,

Like making sure that for DC Join process, clients go to specific DC only.?

Regards,
Kamlesh

No you haven't misunderstood the scenario, its just that I didn't mention the whole information,

We are using ADMTv2 to migrate computers (fairly large number),
and on a big scale we received a error: Domain affiliation didn't change,
and investigating DNS, netsetup.log etc, we found that, ports are blocked.

And you have to admit, as KB says, this DC options is a hidden gem. And glad to discover with your help.

I will whip up a small script, using netdom.exe for that DC.
And join those machines using this script.

Kamlesh

If you are using ADMT, then you won't really be doing a netdom. So, you won't
have the dc switch available for use. If you are using ADMT, you need to get
the V3 version. This lets you target a specific DC for the migration process.

Also, problem is every DC was left in default config, so everybody is
at priority 0, so even if I want to use this solution, I have to lower
the priority of other 49 DCs to nonzero value.

If I want to implement this, Is there a better way to lower the priority of other DCs, using script or dnscmd?

Because, I can convince my engineers to work at night, and while I
change the priorities and before users return can revert them back.

could try to tweak the DNS priority of that particular DC (by lowering
it) so that it will be the first DC to be used... However, other
processes will also go to that DC and that may not be desired!can't think of something else right now..cheersJorge________________________________From:
