Notes
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group (in the ___domain of the selected ___domain controller) or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
To open Active Directory Sites and Services, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory Sites and Services.
A query policy prevents specific Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) operations from adversely impacting the performance of the ___domain controller and also makes the ___domain controller more resilient to denial-of-service attacks.
To create or modify query policies, use the Ntdsutil command-line tool.
