Initial DC Discovery Retry Setting for Background Callers

The Initial DC Discovery Retry Setting for Background Callers machine setting should be configured correctly. When applications performing periodic searches for domain controllers (DC) are unable to find a DC, the value set in this setting determines the amount of time (in seconds) before the first retry. The default value for this setting is 10 minutes (10*60). The maximum value for this setting is 49 days (0x49*24*60*60=4233600). The minimum value for this setting is 0. This setting is relevant only to those callers of DsGetDcName that have specified the DS_BACKGROUND_ONLY flag. If the value of this setting is less than the value specified in the NegativeCachePeriod subkey, the value in the NegativeCachePeriod subkey is used. Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Net Logon\Initial DC Discovery Retry Setting for Background Callers (2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Netlogon\Parameters\BackgroundRetryInitialPeriod
