The added site will not harm your configuration. site configurations are intended for problems like yours. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 11:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LogonServer
you can't change anything in the site-configuration itself (a site is meant to treat every DC basically the same way). What are your reasons for not wanting to change the site config (i.e. adding another site) - other than not having the permissions to do so? The other options tend to bite you later. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tashildar, Dinesh (Cognizant) Sent: Montag, 14.

Both these DC's are in different subnet and I really don't want to change any property of other sites. Is there anything I can change in PUNE site ? -dinesh -----Original Message----- From: Grillenmeier, Guido [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 12:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LogonServer "In a site called Pune we have 2 domain controllers which are physically located in 2 different buildings connected by 8mbps line." that's your problem => DCs in the same site will be treated the same - and if both buildings are in the same subnet, then there's not much that you can do about it (you can configure preferred DCs for the clients via registry/GPO, but that's a pain to manage). If the two buildings do have different subnets, then you could tune the priorities for the service-records in DNS, but it's likely easier to create and manage an extra site. This way you can most transparently differentiate the two buildings and your clients will automatically preferr the only DC in their site. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tashildar, Dinesh (Cognizant) Sent: Montag, 14. Juni 2004 08:33 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] LogonServer Hi, we have a domain called cts.com and under these domain we have several sites. In a site called Pune we have 2 domain controllers which are physically located in 2 different buildings connected by 8mbps line. Lets say ctsinpuncfaa is located in building A and ctsinpuncfcc is located in building B. Practically if users are seating in building B then ctsinpuncfcc should authenticate it. But some of desktops are going to ctsinpuncfaa and some are out of site domain controllers. (from LOGONSERVER environment variable we are getting this information) How can I restrict users from Building B to get authentication from building B DC only ? Which DC server settings decide this factor ? Any help will be appreciated..
