In our environment we have lots of GCs, most of which I don't control. While I run a dcdiag report each morning that checks the overall health of my domain including whether a DC is advertising itself as a GC, we see issues once in a while when a process does a GC discovery action and ends up on a "bad" one, e.g., not available, busy, slow network, maybe permissions, etc.
The other day our Exchange cluster was running like a dog since after a reboot, it hooked itself up with a GC that was not performing particularly well. As a solution for that particular problem, we were able to hardcode into the Exchange servers specific GCs that I know work well. Has anyone developed a script that checks on the health of GC functionality or dealt with this issue some other way? Thanks in advance!
