Azure AD Connect - Best Practice for Domain Controller Connection Settings

Hi,

Is there a recommended best practice for the DC connection settings under Configure Directory Partitions in Azure AD Connect ?

i.e Should it be set to a selection of Preferred Domain Controllers, or should we leave that unchecked ?

Thanks,
Jamie

    I would leave it unchecked unless you have a technical reason to do so. Its too easy to forget you have it hard-coded and if that DC is down or removed, you will, of course, not be able to sync.
