I found that a delayed replication last night prevented a domain controller
from being rebuilt and rejoined to the domain. I recieved error messages
stating the account existed in the domain, but we checked all of the DCs in
the local site, and turned up nothing. We attempted to join the domain, and
failed. I checked the netsetup.log file and found a DC from siteB found the
old domain controller, and failed the domain join. I forced replication
between siteA and siteB, and tried again. The attempt also failed, but this
time it was a DC in siteC. I forced replication between siteA and siteC, and
tried again. This attempt completed successfully, and the netsetup.log file
showed a local DC responded to the DsGetDcName command. It appeared my
attempt to join the server back to the domain contacted bridgehead servers in
all remote sites. Because of replication delays the bridgehead Dcs had not
gotten the remove DC from domain messages. This brought up my question:
"When joining a AD domain, exactly which DCs are contacted by the
DsGetDcName command?"
If available please provide Microsoft documentation links.
