RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site
One instance I can think of is Exchange 2000...the ADC (Active Directory Connector) shows up in a folder called Exchange Settings which appears under a Server object in the Servers container for a site. In our case, the Exchange 2000 Server is not a DC, so the Server object has no NTDS settings object under it. That's one case where just enumerating the server objects under a site would show servers that are not DCs; I'm betting there will be a lot more as more services are AD-enabled.

RE: [ActiveDir] List all Dc's in a site
Title: Message
(a)
when someone manually creates one through the UI or
propgrammatically
(b)
when some application decides to use the Site/Server/Settings architecture for
its own purposes. This is not only possible but likely, for example for
FRS, Exchange, SQL and other products and services that perform replication and
want to be Site aware.
My
point is that you cannot assume that a Server object represents a DC. That
is why they are called "Server" objects, not "Domain Controller" oobjects.

Nothing stops you from creating server objects in a site, and
there is no guarantee that the server objects found in a Site container
represent DC's.

When are there anything but DCs defined under a site (i.e. server
object)?

Do a subtree search of the DS in the site of interest for
NTDS-Settings objects. The parent of each object returnedis
a Server object for a DC. You can use any of several query API's
to do the search and enumerate the results. I favor
IDirectorySearch.

Hi , Is
there any API to find all domain controllers in a site.
I know one which lists all servers
'DsListServersInSite' but I don't want all
servers, I want only DC's. Thanks,
