Clients are not getting logged in from local DC

[Guest]

I have 6 sites split accross single domain. I have DC's accross all sites and
all are GC's. I have created proper sites and subnets. Clients from site 1
are getting authenticated from site 1 DC (GC) and logging in to Site 2 DC
(GC). because of this response is very slow. Can any tell me how to make
these clients to get them logged in to site 1 DC. No issues with DNS, no
issues with Sites and Services.

Sorry, but your description seems to be ambiguous. How can you authenticate
to a dc and log onto a different dc? I don't get it. As long as all
workstations are defined to be in the same subnet as the dc they will
authenticate to that dc, unless there are problems with that dc and
workstations will then go looking for other dc's.

Krishna,

You need to make sure that the Sites are properly set up in the Active
Directory Sites and Services. You also need to make sure that the Subnets
are properly defined and associated to the correct Site.

Even if all of this is correct there is a bit of a problem with clients
authenticating against a DC over the WAN ( read: against a DC in another
Site ).

Please take a look at the following MSKB Article:

Pay particular attention to the Generic Records section.

HTH,
