It sounds to me like you already know the answer. :-)

Or is there a question in there that I missed?

Subject: [Exchange] Exchange mailbox creation in forest


I am working with some automation in an Active Directory env with an empty root 
and a few child domains.

The automation is selecting a random DC which happens to consistently be the 
forest level DC for account creation in child domains.

I can get this value and want to use it as the DomainController parameter for 
Enable-Mailbox to ensure a successful creation in Exchange shortly after.

Whether I provide the downlevel or distinguished name format, it doesn't help. 
It seems none of the exchange tools interpret referrals. The DomainController 
param apparently must be in the domain of the user?

Anyone have any insight on this type of scenario?

Thanks!
