Title:
HOW TO: Change the Default Selection in the Active Directory Manager Snap-in
Body:
  • It is possible to specify the Domain Controller Before Starting the Snap-in:

To specify the domain controller to be used before starting the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, use the "/SERVER=" switch as a parameter to the MMC saved console (.msc) file.

In the process of connecting to the server, the domain of which the controller is a member is automatically detected. For example, either from a command prompt or in the Open box, type:

dsa.msc /server=dc-01.domain.com
 
  • It is possible too to specify the Domain Before Starting the Snap-in
To specify the domain to be used before starting the snap-in, use the "/DOMAIN=" switch as a parameter to the MMC saved console (.msc) file. A domain controller for the domain specified is located automatically and used as the default domain controller.
 
For example, either from a command prompt or in the Open box, type:
dsa.msc /domain=childdomain.domain.com
