Okay I have a perplexing problem that I haven't found any help for on
the web. Maybe someone her can help.
I have a fairly simple AD forest
single forest, single domain. 2 sites, defined properly as far as I can
tell.
In the remote site, there is a DC/GC, both physically and in Sites and
Services.
The x.x.81.X subnet is tied to the correct site.
Output form nltest is below.
nltest /dsgetdc:<domain-name> /site:UCPG
DC: \\<DC-At-Remote Site>
Address: \\X.X.81.217
Dom Guid: XXXXXXXX-1c6b-4645-ac78-b0f2444eac2c
Dom Name: Domain
Forest Name: domain.fqdn.edu
Dc Site Name: UCPG
Our Site Name: UCPG
Flags: GC DS LDAP KDC TIMESERV WRITABLE DNS_FOREST CLOSE_SITE
The command completed successfully
In the registry of a workstation/server on the remote site, the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
\DynamicSiteName is equal to "UCPG"
Yet, whenever I log onto a workstation/server there
"set l" returns a DC/GC that is at our HUB site, and not the DC/GC
identified and located in the remote site.
Nltest /sc_query:<domain> returns the same DC/GC located in the hub
site, and again, not the DC/GC in the remote site.
Pings between remote workstation and remote DC/GC are less than 1ms,
between remote workstation and hub DC/GC are more like 30 to 40 ms on
average.
Both remote site and hub site DC/GC are ping able and nbtstat -a
findable by short name and reverse ip lookups.
Any help anyone has, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
