Actually they’re an IT testing team. But still just “users” to me :-0

Bigger issue is that users are messing with the NETLOGON share, thus causing 
extra AD replication between DC’s.
Users should not be in the NETLOGON share just Domain Admins, imho.

Makes no difference.

Is the real issue here that there are ‘big’ delays in replication?

I’m just using the short domain name rather than FQDN – does that make a 
difference?

If you browse to \\fqdn\someshare<file://fqdn/someshare>, where you end up is 
determined by DNS resolution.

\\contoso.com<http://contoso.com>\NetLogon will be resolved to 
\\some.contoso.dc.ip\NetLogon<file://some.contoso.dc.ip/NetLogon> and then your 
system will go there.

A question for the AD masters out there…

If I browse to the \\DOMAIN\netlogon<file://DOMAIN/netlogon> share, how is the 
DC I browse to in this instance defined? I’m fairly sure it isn’t the server 
specified in the %LOGONSERVER% variable. Got users who are changing things in 
the NETLOGON share and they’re finding big delays in seeing these updates 
because they’re hitting servers in different physical sites.

Am I right in thinking it depends in how subnets are configured in Sites and 
Services? Or way off base?
