Exchange 2010: setting del domain controller preferito Print

Setting a Preferred Domain Controller in Exchange via EMS

You can specify which Domain Controller should be used by a specific Microsoft Exchange server through the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). This is particularly useful in distributed environments or when multiple domain controllers are available, to optimize performance or reduce latency.

View the Current Domain Controller Setting

Open the Exchange Management Shell and run the following command:

Get-ADServerSettings | fl

This command will display the current configuration, including the preferred domain controller if one is set.

Set a Preferred Domain Controller

To specify a particular domain controller, use the following command:

Set-ADServerSettings -PreferredServer dc2.exchangeserverpro.local

Replace dc2.exchangeserverpro.local with the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the desired domain controller, e.g., dc0.acs-hosting.local.

Note

This setting applies only to the current EMS session. You will need to set it again if you open a new session.
