We are at the end of our migration from NT to AD 2003 and completing the PC moves. However, we are now receiving many reports that some PC's are authenticating against remote DC's. While many PC's in a location will respect the site configuration and authenticate against the local DC, some PC's are authenticating against DC's outside of the site. These are 2000 and XP machines, so we thought they should understand Active Directory sites.
We do not have any network traces from any of these machines at this time, but we were wondering if they might be using WINS rather than DNS to locate a DC. But, why would this be happening? These newer OS clients should look for a DC using DNS, shouldn't they? We checked DNS, and it is correct. Any ideas?
