Blacklist DNS DC hostnames

Specify the list of domain controllers that should be filtered out when resolving the domain controller to contact through DNS.

This policy enables you to prevent Centrify DirectControl Agent (adclient) from attempting to contact domain controllers that are known to be inaccessible, for example, because they reside behind a firewall, or domain controllers that shouldn't be contacted, for example, because of their physical location or because they are no longer valid domain controllers for the site.

DC hostname:
Fully qualified domain name of domain controller.

This group policy modifies the dns.block setting in the Centrify DirectControl configuration file.
