To search for objects in the configuration container, bind to the configuration container on any domain controller. The configuration container is a full replica and is available on all domain controllers. Note that the configuration container's distinguished name should be retrieved from the configurationNamingContext property from rootDSE. For sample code that retrieves the DN of the configuration container, see Example Code for Getting the Distinguished Name for the Naming Context in the Binding chapter.
