Abstract
A managed directory service receives a request to add a domain controller to a directory. In response to the request, the managed directory service determines, based on locations of other domain controllers of the directory, a location for the domain controller. The managed directory service provisions the domain controller at the location and associates the domain controller to the directory. The domain controller is activated in order to perform directory operations for the directory.
