Hi I am just upgrading a medium to large network from novel to AD. I have
several sights down 2MG links and 10 MG links so I have pit local DC at
these sites wit file and print sharing in the hops that the machines at
these sites would authenticate at these local servers. In reality the
machines are authenticating all over the place. Is there any way I can make
the machines authenticate at the closest server. I have heard that I can use
subnets to force this but that is a bit too drastic at the moment.

HELP

Thanks in advance
 
You need to configure sites. During authentication the client will try to
authenticate to a DC within its site or a site that's closest. You also
might wanna check out AutoSiteCoverage.
