Did you configure subnet for respective sites under "sites  and subnets"
? I am sure they are missing.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Clients Not Authenticating with Site DC

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?
