Hi all,
Quick background - we have 5 remote locations all tunneled to HQ in "star"
topology if you will;
HQ- 192.168.0.0
site1- 10.0.0.0
site2- 10.0.1.0
site3- 10.0.2.0
site4- 10.0.3.0
site5- 10.0.4.0
I'm trying join a server from site 2 (10.0.0.0) to our domain site 1
(192.168.0.0) , the issue that I'm having is that the server is trying to
authenticate against the DC in site 5.
Since there is no tunnel between the remote sites it fails, what I'm failing to
understand is WHY it isn't trying to authenticate against the DC's at HQ-
The server in the remote site has the HQ DNS servers as primary and secondary
Ping back and forth via both IP and Name work and the TTL is only under 300ms
I have flushed DNS
Registered DNS
rebooted
Even when i ping the domain name it come back with the correct DC, yet when i
try to join it back to the domain i get the "no domain controllers could be
contacted"
and Netmon traces cleary show it's looking for the wrong DC
