Open the AD management tool to connect to the specified DC

 

How do I specify to connect to a DC when the AD management tool is enabled? Because of the large number of administrators, a dedicated server is built for administrators to connect to and use management tools to manage AD. However, the audit log is enabled because you want to record its operations. If you want to enable the AD management tool on this server, you can specify a DC.

 

A: According to your description, I learned that I have built a dedicated server for the Administrator to connect and use the management tool to manage the AD, you want to specify a DC when you open the AD management tool on this server. During communication with you, I learned:

 

1. The installed management tool is Microsoft's Windows Server MMC management toolkit;

 

2. when a DC is specified, isn't the Administrator's operations displayed on the DC in the audit log? In this way, we can query the DC logs in a centralized manner to monitor the Administrator's behavior.

 

If you have installed Microsoft's Windows Server MMC Management Kit, you cannot specify a DC when you open the AD management tool. In fact, because DC is replicated to each other, when you change the operation on a DC, other DC will also change, therefore, if you specify or do not specify DC, there are no multiple regions.

If so, you do not need to set up a monitoring server. You only need to enable the remote login function of one DC so that the administrator can remotely log on to this machine, and other DC will disable remote login. In this case, you only need to apply audit logs on the DC that enables remote login.

 

In addition, I have found some materials for your reference:
