No this is a 2000 Native forest (3xdomain) with all 2003 DCs. clients contacting the domain are almost entirely NT class I think. Exactly what hte story is on 9x is unclear to me though there are tens of thousnads of them. Same with NT4 though less I think. --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the web! www.wpcp.org v - 773.534.0034 x135 f - 773.534.8101 c - 312.731.3132

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?
