Preferred authentication server

[Guest]

Hi Folks,

I have one domain and multiple DC's some DC's are local and some are remote.
How do I set the primary DC that all clients authenticate too. If that DC
went down what determines which DC would take it's place for authentication
requests.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks, Frank

Why would you need to do that? As long as each of your locations is in its
own AD site/subnet, I don't think you have too much to worry about. What
makes you ask?

If that DC went down what determines which DC would take it's
place for authentication requests.

The next one that was available when the client tried to authenticate, I
reckon
