nltest and the /force option for dsgetdc

[ravinder thakur]

hi all experts,


i want to know what does the switch /force does in the utility nltest
when we give it as a command line argument.

eg

c:> nltest /dsgetdcCLoc /force

what will be the effect of /force option. how it will find the dc we
are trying to find ???


thanks
ravinder thakur

When you run nltest with /dsgetdc it will simply tell you what it is
using currently. When you specify /force it will force the system to go
find another DC.
