Local W2K AD authentication

We have a WAN with a DC in each remote location, all in
the same W2K domain. Each of the remote DC's contains a
copy of the GC.

When a workstation logs into the network, how can we
control which DC authenticates the login? Sometimes a DC
across the WAN will authenticate the user login, causing
the login script to run from the remote DC across the WAN,
instead of running it locally.
 
You need to put each DC into their own site. Then you add
a subnet for each site. You associate a subnet with a
site. When a machine goes to login it will check to see
if there is a subnet that matches its subnet, if it does
it logs into the DC in that site.

If you need help with sites, post back and I can give you
some more info.
