How to force a domain PC to use a specific DC?

Question

How does a domain computer determine which DC to get GPO from?

How can I force a domain computer to use a specific DC?

I have some servers are getting GPO from a RODC on remote site. I need them to contact local DC instead.

Any hint?

You need to make sure that Active Directory Sites and Services is configured correctly with your Sites, Subnets and Domain Controllers. — joeqwerty, Jun 14 '17 at 15:45
If you're trying to "spoof" it you need to make all the _records in DNS resolve to the local DC only - you could hack the hosts file to do this but seems like a pain in the butt to me. — TheFiddlerWins, Jun 14 '17 at 15:53

Configure AD Sites as appropriate, and ensure that the correct DCs are assigned to each site.
