Connections use a DC of another site despite the presence of a local DC.

Probable causes

  • Subnet AD absent
  • site association
  • DNS SRV

Verifications.

  1. Limit the impact. — Identify whether a post, service or whole site is concerned.
  2. Collecting Evidence. — Keep the message accurate, time and associated newspapers.
  3. Test the the simplest hypothesis. — Compare with equipment or functional path.
  4. Correct and validate. — Apply one change at a time and retester.

Commands

nltest /dsgetsite
nltest /dsgetdc:domaine.local

Solutions.

  • Correct the confirmed cause rather than the symptom.
  • Document the change and result.
