My collegue noticed when he closed the AD mmc the mmc.exe process did not stop. In face it took 100% of system resources.. The probleem seems to be known to microsoft though they have not yet come up with a solution and the kb seems to be about win2k instead of the Win2k3 R2 we're using... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300036 With your script I figured out the probleme here wasn't on the LDAP layer.

I have 512 kbps lease line between the sites. Now whenever I launch ADC.msc, it loads the remote site ADC. How can I make it load the ADC where I belong. I have added my subnet address in the ADsite and services then also I am facing the same problem. Please help.... regards Vikrant I am facing a similar problem.I have 2 sites geografically seperated by 1000 miles. I have 512 kbps lease line between the sites.

He wasn't assigned an IP address under DHCP and set his own. His subnet was not defined under Sites and Services. Once that was added, it worked great. Thanks for commenting! Chrissy Hey DK,

Is it covered by a subnet, if not, create a subnet and assign it to the site where his local DC is located.

The above workaround is really a hack. Check your Active Directory Sites and Services to ensure that you've got sites setup and working properly. Cyril,
