Changing the Weight and Priority of a Domain Controller
Weight
By default all Domain Controllers have a weight of 100, the
heavier the weight the more often the Domain Controller is referred to. If
there are two servers in a site and one has a weight of 100 and the other
200. The Domain Controller with twice the weight will receive twice the referrals. To modify the weight of a Domain Controller the registry
key, use: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\LdapSrvWeight
Priority
By default all Domain Controllers have a priority of 0, the
lower the priority the first in priority. The Domain Controller with the
lowest priority in the site will receive ALL authentication requests unless it
is unavailable. If the lowest priority Domain Controller is unavailable
then the next lowest Domain Controller in the site will receive all requests.
To modify the priority of a Domain Controller the registry
key, use:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\LdapSrvPriority
