Hi,

How can I point the "Active Directory Users and Computers.mmc" to default to a specific Domain Controller, without choosing it manually with "Connect to Domain Controller..."?  We have 3 DC in different countries and it can take up to 1 minute to open the console.

Thank you.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
