Logon Script Runs From Random DC

Slow Login....

We are adding a logon batch file (sitename.bat) in each
windows 2000 user's profile. Occasionally the logon
process is very slow. I noticed that the batch file is
running from a Domain Controller in another location
(across a WAN link) even though the local DC/Global
Catalog server is working correctly. Rebooting mulitple
PCs and loging in with various users seems to have random
results. Most of the time users run sitename.bat from the
local DC; sometimes users run sitename.bat from another
DC. Doesn't appear to be related to a particular user or
PC.

Any thoughts???

Thanks!

Have you created active directory sites and added subnets to them? Windows
2000 clients will look for a DC that is located within the same site in
order to avoid authenticating with a DC across the wan. In order for the
process to work you must correctly configure AD sites. See the following
article on how to do this.
