XP clients logging onto remote DC across WAN instead of local one

by shamous . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

Hello
I am new to this forum and I am hoping someone can help with a problem I’m tearing my hair out with (not much left to start with). I am midway through rolling out a new 2003 domain in to replace the existing NT4 one with trusts in place between the two. The previosu setup was multiple domains with one for each of 5 sites. I opted to go for a single 2003 domain this time with multiple sites but I am finding that even though the remote sites have local DC’s they are still opting to logon to the DC at headoffice. I have read a few articles on this and all ‘appears’ OK. Site subnets are setup. NL Test shows correct DC info at each site but if I issue the command echo %logonserver% at any given remote site workstation they always show headoffice DC. Sorry if this is a bit long winded but hope someone has some ideas.
