ADUC always connects to wrong DC

When I open ADUC it always connects to our DC that's in a remote office and
not our local DC's. I have to right click the domain and change it to our
local DC as the response is much faster, why does it do this and how can I
change it to stay connecting to a local DC whenever I open it?

are your sites and subnets setup correctly?
Does the site you are in have a DC?

if you want to connect to a specific DC:
Starting Active Directory MMC consoles from the command-line
Active Directory MMC consoles, including Active Directory Users and
Computers (dsa.msc), Active Directory Domains and Trusts (domain.msc)
and Active Directory Sites and Services (dssite.msc), provide
command-line options that allow you to start a console focused on a
particular domain or domain controller. The command-line options
support both fully qualified domain names and NetBIOS names.

The command-line options are:

• /domain=FullyQualifiedDomainName

• /domain=NetBIOSDomainName

• /server=FullyQualifiedDomainControllerName

• /server=NetBIOSDomainControllerName
