You can't force this. You can influence it, but if a DC gets busy enough, another may still respond first. Since DC databases are multimaster, why would you *want* to do thus?? What underlying problem are you trying to solve??

I have 4 member servers &amp;&nbsp;2 Domain controllers in a site.<br />
<br />
Now the member servers are being authenticated by both the DC's, But I want all the 4 servers to be authenticated by One Single DC.<br />
<br />
I tried restarting all the 4 members servers but every time I restart it gets authenticated by a different DC.<br />
<br />
Is that possible to configure the authentication to one Single domain controller, if so how do I configure it.<br />
<br />
Please assist me in getting this configured.
