First double check the sites setup and make sure each DC is in the right subnets and that the XP clients in question are in the same site. If that is ok time to check connectivity and name resolution to the local DC from the 'bad' XP machine. Has to be one or the other. And the XP machines

Each writable DC registers an DNS A record for itself -- so you are just getting round-robin DNS results by pinging / looking up the domain's domain name. Nothing to be worried about there. Accessing \\domain.name\netlogon should use the logon server, not a random A record; use nltest to confirm

If the real problem is that you are getting a different DC when you do PING, that is fine. Although I'm guessing that you are doing a /flushdns between each PING ? If not and you are doing this from the same machine I'm surprised. What you are seeing is Round Robin in DNS. Do an NSLOOKUP on

As long as the local DC answers yes those services will hit the local DC. Sites only impacts AD aware services. Ping is an internet thing so it is not Sites aware. NSlookup...those kinds of things would also not use sites. From: Heaton, Joseph@DFG [mailto:jhea...@dfg.ca.gov] Sent: Monday,
