I'm not 100% sure what you are asking.... DNS details where and who the relevant DC's are via SRV records, which servers are GC's, who is the PDC Emulator, etc.
This is how a server being Dcpromo'd knows who holds DC roles. BR Rob -----Original Message----- From: Graham Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 July 2004 13:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DC selection for source of dcpromo can anyone confirm the mechanism by which dcpromo being run discovers the source of domain information. i know we doing this unattended you can hardcode a source into the script file but how does it find a source when left to its own devices ??
