If you have a GC in each site, and they are still authenticating to the wrong site, then something is either offline or configured wrong.

We created a single 2000 domain which is in all our offices. We created VPNs between the offices, and replicate between DCs that are in each physical location. We have been having some problem with one office. The replication between the offices is set to the default 15 minutes, however, we are finding that sometimes a user will actually login through a domain controller that is not the DC in his office (someone in NY will verify on a DC in Chicago). Its not the biggest deal in the world, but if a user lock out his account, we either have to wait 15 minutes (or less) for the lockout to replicate to our DC, or try and find the DC that the user locked themselves out of. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to mandate a Domain controller. Some way of saying to the computer, "check for this DC first then look somewhere else" Any ideas would be helpful Thanks Mike ------ 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 addressee.
