In addition to the below, if we assume that DC01 and DC02 are both in the *same* site, then perhaps ajay should consider DNS weighting, so that DC02 is used 'in preference' to DC01. As usual, it's a 'it depends' style question. neil

A DC for authentication is located by using DNS. By default clients search for a DC that has records in DNS for their own site (DCs physically there or covering the site) and when none found a query for the DCs that have registered domain wide records (by the default all the DCs). For that to work correctly you need to: * Define your sites in AD correctly for one or more locations (most of the times each location has its own AD site definition) * Define the subnets within each location in AD and associate each subnet with an AD site that represents the location of the subnets Also make sure an AD site link exists with the sites associated to it so that DCs in each site/location can replicate with each other That way a client in site A will go for a DC in site A first and a client in site B will go for a DC in site B first.
