To run a series of connectivity tests on a specific domain controller, run the following command:
dcdiag /s:<DomainControllerName>
It should generate similar results as the local test if no issues are encountered.
Output to a log file
Dcdiag is able to save the output results to a text file by running the following:
dcdiag /s:<DomainControllerName> /f:<FileName.txt>
If no <FilePath> is specified, results are saved to C:\Users\<UserName>\<FileName.txt> by default.
<FilePath>
C:\Users\<UserName>\<FileName.txt>
To save to a specific location, run the following:
dcdiag /s:<DomainControllerName> /f:<DriveLetter>\<FilePath>\<FileName.txt>

Command-Line Syntax Key
dcgpofix
Recreates the default Group Policy Objects (GPOs) for a domain. To get to the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), you must install Group Policy Management as a feature through Server Manager.
Important
As a best practice, you should configure the Default Domain Policy GPO only to manage the default Account Policies settings, Password Policy, Account Lockout Policy, and Kerberos Policy. Additionally, you should configure the Default Domain Controllers Policy GPO only to set user rights and audit policies.
