The DFS client does this. It uses information in AD along with site affinity. I'm not intimately familiar with the workings of DFS, though I'm not fmailiar with this bit you heard from MS. --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the web! www.wpcp.org v - 773.534.0034 x135 f - 773.534.8101 c - 312.731.3132
________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Rachui, Scott Sent: Tue 3/15/2005 2:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] SYSVOL Question I have a question... When a user is authenticating to AD, what mechanism directs him to a particular instance of SYSVOL? And is there some way to actually see which DC the client will be preferring? I ask this because Microsoft has recently told me that in certain circumstances, clients will always choose a different DC for SYSVOL than the one they choose for authentication. But I don't know how to actually see that list so I'll know which ones are being preferred.
