I think the initial question of this thread concerned the other rings of power (the Seven and the Nine).

While it is clear that in the time of the War of the Ring, Sauron had a total power over all the Nine still existing, it may be that this power only developed after the forging of the One Ring, and did not appear simultaneously with it.
So, at the beginning, each person wearing a ring of Power would benefit of some timeframe, in which he/she would be still free of will. It may be that Sauron perceived this timespace as particularly dangerous, so he tried to accelerate his triumphating over the other Ring-bearers, e.g. by finding out their exact positions.

Greetings,
