The switch /sc_query only shows you your secure channel DC, it doesn't necessarily tell you what DC you are using for LDAP ops currently. They are usually the same but don't have to be.

The set command echoes a variable that is set at startup and doesn't change when your authenticating server changes. The only problem with using nltest with the /sc_query option is that it also checks a cached value. If you truly want to determine which DC is currently authenticating a PC, you should use the /sc_reset option of nltest. This will reset the secure channel between the workstation and the DC and report the status of the secure channel. -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 4:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DC authentication Hi Christine This will show you the secure channel for given machine: nltest /sc_query:<domain> /server:<server_name> Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christine Allen Sent: Thursday, 1 September 2005 8:58 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] DC authentication Sorry, I'm have a brain hiccup.
