Well thanks to both of you I will look into that Should I change that for each WINS server or if I change one will it change the others?

It seems to work pretty well in keeping our legacy clients logging into the local DCs.

The machine queries WINS, gets a list of up to 25 domain controllers, and starts at the top of the list. There is no order to the list, so its quite possible that the first server listed is on the other side of the globe. One possible solution is to change your NetBIOS node type (option 044 or 046 in DHCP) from H-node (0x8) to p-node, which will go broadcast first, then WINS. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
