What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? I know that sounds like a
stupid question, but it will help to know to better answer your question.

You focus Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins against a
specific domain controller that is referenced by its IP address. For
example, you click Start, click Run, and then type the following
command:
for Active Directory User and Computers
dsa.msc /server=ipaddress

for Active Directory Sites and Services
dssite.msc /server=ipaddress

for Active Directory Domains and Trusts
domain.msc /server=ipaddress

Cheers,
