Active Directory – Get a Free Domain Controller

It could be really usefull to use the -DomainController parameter with many Powershell commands… But How to be sure to find an available DC ?

A little function will help you to do that :

Function Get_Domain_Controller {
$site = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectorysite]::GetComputerSite()

$back = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain().FindDomainController($site).Name
return $back
}

Thanks to .Net to exist !
