Is is *always* the same "other" DC - or is it random DC's upon every
reboot/login (check the LOGONSERVER environment variable) {this assumes you
have more than 2 DC's in your domain}.
What is in DNS for that particular site - is it the server you think or another
server (site coverage issue)?
Does the subnet definition match *exactly* in sites and services as to what the
workstation is using (both the IP range and the subnet mask)?
If the mask is different (say 255.255.255.128 vs. 255.255.255.192) even though
the IP address is correct - and the router is sending the packets - but that
subnet doesn't match exactly what is in AD (this has happened to us before
which is why I bring it up).
You'd have to look it up at Microsoft for the Windows client, but you can put
the workstation boot up processing into a debug/logging mode and it will show
what is going on - as to why the workstation "thinks" it is in a different site
(assuming the subnet is defined correctly and DNS is correct).

Subject: gps applied
I was monitoring a site over the weekend and noticed that a local subnet was
retrieving the policies from another server in a different subnet.
This site has four subnets and defined in sites, but when I was on the local
subnet I did a gpresult and noticed the client pulled the policy from a server
that is in another state.
What would do this? Bad configuration at the router? Server?
TIA,
