I need to point Exchange servers for any Global Catalog access to a
preferred Domain Controller.

We are running Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003. Our Domain controllers are

Is it possible to set an Exchange server to point to a specific Domin
Controller for all authentications and other tasks it needs a DC for.
Normally it would pick one in random within the site.

The DC the server uses for authentication and what Exchange uses for
configuration data are not necessarily the same things.

Why do you want to do this?




Thanks.
