I have seen similar to what he is seeing. Basically I believe he is having the same issue. Because of growth and change the Subnets at local and remote sites are fluctuating where occasionally a system is connecting to the network on a subnet that is not defined within AD to be a part of this site or another site. So basically the system them query's to find out what site it is in and could possibly talk to a DC that is in another site which of course isn't good.
I would be interested in knowing better ways if any to ensure first that my subnets are setup with the right sites and if not to easily update them.

I am assuming that your locations currently run a NT 4 BDC and your Active Directory domain is in mixed mode? Have you created separate sites in AD and defined the cost for each site? Can I also ask what type of clients ( Windows 98, NT4 2000, Mac, XP ) your running?

Mine is fluid in this regard. There are roughly 650 physical locations with 2 subnets per. The number of locations is fluctual in terms of add/drop. Currently we have just a small handful of AD sites, and save for a couple dozen subnets, they all go in one big happy site. We're moving towards putting DCs at remote locations and thus they're going to start getting their own sites. The current system is fairly manual - I start seeing netlogon warnings about # of no site connections, email the WAN guy and get his subnet/location spreadsheet, and then i mangle it a bit into a CSV. I delete all the existing subnets. Run my vbscript which recreates them all according to the CSV. This is all well and good I guess but it's an annoying system. Anybody got anything better?
