MSC files - AD users and Computers ...

I have multiple DC's in my environment. I use a customized mmsc console to
administer everything but I would like it to connect by default to a
specific DC instead og my %LOGONSERVER% for users and computers. Is there
any way to force this?

you open the mmc in author mode. pick the DC that you want to always use,
then save it. Now every time open the mmc, it will always connect to that
DC.

to that DC.
Click to expand...

Or, if you don't want to do that, you can specify the DC on the command
line:

dsa.msc /server=my.ad.server

Hope that helps,

Not true - I have an MMC console with multiple entries - DHCP. AD Sites,
WINS IIS etc. I select our main DC for Active Directory Users and
computers - Save the settings and exit. Come back in and the DC it connects
to is the %LOGONSERVER%.

I have to force this but how?
