We'll see if we can get the networking team to do a trace. Thanks.

A network trace is needed here to determine:
1. DNS server used at startup/logon 2. Responses received from that DNS server 3. DCs offered and DC used to authenticate
As others suggest, "bad" DNS and/or subnet vs site info is the likely root cause.

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?
