3.1.4.10 Client Domain Controller Location

  • Article

The client MUST attempt to locate a domain controller of a given domain. A client locally invokes processing rules specified in DsrGetDcName (section 3.5.4.3.3) with the method parameters set as follows:

  • Set the ComputerName parameter to NULL.

  • Set the DomainName parameter to the domain name.

  • Set the DomainGuid parameter to NULL.

  • Set the SiteGuid parameter to NULL.

  • Set the Flags parameter to a bitwise OR of the bits L and R that are specified in DsrGetDcNameEx2 (section 3.5.4.3.1).

If DsrGetDcName returns with no errors, the DomainControllerName field of the returned DomainControllerInfo structure will contain the DC name.
