Hi Scott- In addition to Steve's input, there were a couple of recent illuminating threads the heavyweights weighed in on that you should be able to see in the list archives-
"Forcing SYSVOL from authenticating DC" and "AD Sites and SYSVOL" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rachui, Scott Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 12:31 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.
