I have seen an article that mentions using SETPRFDC but as I'm not dealing
with NT4 machines, this won't work. I found something once before but have
since lost that info. I'm very sure what I had worked but just can't recall
it.

What has replaced SETPRFDC for newer OS's? Are there tools that already
exist on the systems that I can leverage to force the client to a different
DC?

I appreciate you taking a swing at this.

I had read about using the registry to create a list to prioritize which
DC's were contacted but I swear I had an executable that, similar to
nslookup, you just ran the .exe and added the DC you wanted to point to as a
parameter. That's why I was hoping to find a program similar to SETPRFDC.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't NETDOM MOVE either as I wouln't have been moving
the machine to a different domain.

I hope this helps as it's dring me crazy. Exeryone I sent the email to,
including me, either deleted it or lost their .pst archive containing that
email. Thank you for the support.
 
I am not aware of any program to do this.
