They all take turns. The only way to prefer a specific DC is to put the others in a different AD site, as Al said.

thank you, I will transf the roles, so you are saying to leave it a gc on the
exchange server, my question then is if I have 3 dc's that are gc's who
answers the login authentication? Do all 3 take turns? and if so if I want
pc's to authenticate with a specific server first, can you do that? thanks
again for your help

Next time I'll try to take more time and provide some links though.
Regardless of how it's written it's good feedback.
