I appreciate the response but the issues are unrelated Because: Legacy (pre-win2k) uses WINS for locating networks objects Win2k and later OS's use DNS to locate objects

I don't know whether it relates but may be worth a look under _sites within DNS. BR Robert Rutherford "Weatherly, Rob" <Rob.Weatherly@handlem To: "NT 2000 Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> an.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: logging onto wrong server bounce-nt2000-137226@l s.swynk.com 16/12/2002 14:44 Please respond to "NT 2000 Discussions" Problem: I have a large amount of windows 98 workstations that are authenticating to a remote DC that is in a different Site With or without the AD client the workstations will authenticate to the same remote DC. Environment: 3 Sites 1 corp. 2 remote All FSMO roles are at corp. site including PDC emulator 1 GC at each site Question: Why are these 98 workstations going to a remote DC to authenticate when the PDC emulator is here (local)? They are actually going to a different site to logon. Normally this may not be a big deal but I need to have then pull files from there "logon server" as they logon, so if they are logging on to a server at a different site it will take a long time to copy the files needed as you could imagine. -------------------------------- Rob Weatherly -------------------------------- ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
