And if you need to do it permanently you can designated through the registry or through a GPO setting "DC Locator DNS records not registered by the DCs" (preferred!)
And if you want to offload it you can configure the DNS weight and DNS priority of the records registered by the particular DC(s). The GPO settings for this are: * Weight Set in the DC locator DNS SRV records * Priority Set in the DC Locator DNS SRV Records Cheers, #JORGE# -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: 6/2/2005 8:45 PM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Stop a DC from authenticating? Hi Matt, Easy one... unplug it's network conection... Just Kidding!! But seriously that would work, the other option is turn off the netlogon service and stop the sysvol share by turning off the server service.

How can I stop a DC from processing Authentication. If I build another site that is not hooked to any of the Subnets will the computers stop authenticating to the DC? I just want to stop it temporarily but don't want to turn the DC off.
