How can an administrator determine the closest site for any given site?

  • Look at the site link costs that appear in Active Directory Sites and Services.-or-
  • After an RODC is installed successfully in an Active Directory site, run the nltest command against the RODC.

The following example shows the command and the results:
C:\>nltest /dsgetdc:rodc /server:rodc-dc-02 /try_next_closest_site /avoidself
DC: \\HUB-DC-01
Address: \\2001:4898:28:4:5e1:903a:7987:eea5
Dom Guid: 00e80237-c5ce-4143-b0b8-cfa5c83a5654
Dom Name: RODC
Forest Name: rodc.nttest.contoso.com
Dc Site Name: Hub
Flags: PDC GC DS LDAP KDC TIMESERV GTIMESERV WRITABLE DNS_FOREST CLOSE_SITE FULL_SECRET
The command completed successfully.
