Change in DC locator process in 2008 (...Domain Controller Stickiness)

-

i have heard dc locator process in 2008 has been re-designed include new mechanism rediscovery avoid client sticking off-site dc if closest dc goes off-line period of time , again.

a few questions, thought locator discovery process of client (xp, w7) same in previous versions, i.e. client stick dc until restarted or set time ?

is applying new gpo setting (administrative templates\system\net logon\dc locator dns records\ entry name: force rediscovery interval. ) recommended , refresh time use ?

can gpo used in environment running 2008 or 2008r2 dcs ? 

can rediscovery process run command prompt of client , if syntax ?

 

thanks

 

oh yes, that’s force rediscovery option. has been implemented in w2k8 , higher, there hotfix wxp , w2k3
 
 
•cached dc information (ms-kbq939252)
–ad client caches dc info until rebooted or dc unavailable or…
•forced rediscovery of dcs after interval has passed
–hklm\system\ccs\services\netlogon\parameters\
•forcerediscoveryinterval (reg_dword)
–computer configuration\administrative templates\system\net logon\dc locator dns records\
•force rediscovery interval
–default/min/max: 43200 (12h) (default)/3600 (1h)/4294967295 sec. (never)

(hopefully information helps you!)
