Specific DCs in Adaxes

0 votes

Hello,

We have configured limited list of domain controllers for Adaxes to use as per instruction here:
http://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.Mana ... omain.html

One problem is that the claim "Adaxes will connect to the first available domain controller from the list." does not seem to work.
We currently have one of the DCs overloaded, which we are working on fixing, but Adaxes does not work because the DC is "not operational". Shouldn't Adaxes use the next available DC in such case? We have defined several domain controllers on the list, but it seems to use only the first one.

I just want to understand when can we expect the benefit of having multiple DCs defined and if there should be any load balancing or failover between those.
Currently used Adaxes version is 3.8.14823.0. Is there a different behavior with the newest version.

Hello,

It is correct that Adaxes connects to the first available domain controller from the list. The fact that Adaxes connects to the first specified DC means that connection between the computer where Adaxes service is installed and the DC can be established. Only if connection fails, Adaxes will try to connect to the next DC.

We currently have one of the DCs overloaded, which we are working on fixing, but Adaxes does not work because the DC is "not operational". Shouldn't

Could you specify, at what point you see the error message? Does it occur when performing specific operations in Adaxes? Could you try to remove the overloaded domain controller from the list specified in the Softerra.Adaxes.Service.exe.Config file?

This behavior did not change in newer versions in comparison to the version you are currently using.
