How can we check from where user is getting authenticated?

A domain controller is a critical component in Active Directory that authenticates users connecting to the domain. If you’re having trouble accessing resources on a particular domain or if it takes a long time to authenticate your login, your computer may be communicating with the wrong site. Use Command Prompt to find out which DC your system is connected to. There are several commands to find out this.

Click Start and enter CMD.
When the CMD window opens, enter the following and hit enter:

echo %logonserver%

The %logonserver% environment variable shows the DC which authenticated the *user* - not the computer.

Click Start and enter CMD.
When the CMD window opens, enter the following and hit enter:

Set l

How can we check from where computer is getting authenticated?

To see which DC authenticated the computer, run this command:
nltest /DSGETDC:

Click Start and enter CMD.
When the CMD window opens, enter the following and hit enter:

Example- nltest /dsgetdc:windowstechno.local

Click Start and enter CMD.
When the CMD window opens, enter the following and hit enter:

gpresult /r

Domain Type:                        Windows 2008 or later

Instead of the domain controller name appearing in the LogonServer variable, if you logged in to a computer using your local account, the name of your computer will appear.
