Logon Scripts and WAN

J

Joe Williams

Hello all!

I have two facilities linked with a full T-1 WAN. Once side has a 10.0.0.X
IP scheme and the other side has a 172.30.2.X scheme. I have two domain
controllers on either side of the WAN, running native Windows 2000 AD.

My question is this: Many times when a client is loggin on to the network,
the logon script fires from one of the servers that is across the WAN. Why
deos this occur and should I be concerned about it? Is there any way that
you can specify that computers on one side of the WAN should only attempt to
logon in thier immediate LAN?

Thanks

Hi!
Have you created the necessary sites and subnets in AD?

Besides that, ensure that your scripts are not referencing any computers in
the remote subnets.

P.S. On a client's computer, open a command prompt, ran 'set'. Take a look
at the 'logonserver' value. Make sure that clients are authenticated by
local DC. If not, check your site's configuration.

Yes, I have two sites set up, one has a subnet of 10.0.0.X and the other has
a subnet of 172.0.0.X. Any further settings required?

I ran SET and indeed the logonserver is pointing across the WAN. how do I
change a site's configuration to stop this from being the logon server and
use a local server? Thanks
