First thing I would do is look at the DNS records for that
site. Is the GC you are concerned about listed in the records for that site? Are
there any records for the site?
If not, I would look at a network trace. This should be
pretty simple in terms of decoding the trace since DNS traffic is all clear
text. You should see the resolution request, look at what is returned. Then look
to see where the client goes after that. Does it query again? The next one
should be a anything in the domain query, not a site
specific.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Investigating GC queries
How would I best troubleshoot a machine that seems to be always be going to an off-site GC to get its queries answered? I have verified the machine’s subnet is in Sites & Svcs, and that the subnet is assigned to site closest by (it is in a different building, but here on the same local campus, with a fiber connection between the 2 buildings). Yet it usually finds the GC in Chicago, over a much slower WAN link. Just not sure what my steps should be. Thanks!
