I was wondering where you were going with that.......
but if i create a new user account, it doesnt log in right
away.
Also, in sites and services, under the DC object, the NTDS
settings are not constant throughout the site. For
example, when adding a new dc, it creates NTDS connections
for what seems to be random DCs throughout the domain.
Shouldnt the NTDS settings be the same for all teh servers
in teh domain (meaning a connection to the central office
and maybe one or two others?)
also, you can get me on MSN messenger at (e-mail address removed)

My apologies, I wasn't clear enough.
If you create a brand new user account and logon to a client computer
using that new account, which DC authenticates you?
In addition, what client OS are you using?

teh same site.......when the link is down or up to the
central office..

To prevent me going down an incorrect path, what happens
if you create a
new user and logon as that user at one or more of the
existing clients
(specifically those you've been using to test this)?

All branch offices are running on the same domain. when
checking the machines to see what they are loggin into
(using the SET command ant the prompt to view the LOGON
server) it denotes a server other than the one it is on.
If I dorp the link to the central site, it logons on to
the local branch office server of the subnet it is on,
but
does not always update teh SET variables.

Is this a multi-domain forest?
What means are you using to determine that the clients
are
authenticating against a non-local DC?
What OS are the client machines running?

DNS is configured for dynamic updates....
teh DC object (the site server) was moved into the
site.
Replication latency is a factor, but if i replicate
NOW,
it shouldnt be. And, even if i wait till the next
time
frame, I still dont have the results I want.

Have you moved the DC objects into the site?
Is DNS configured for dynamic update?
Have you taken into account replication latency?

Setup: Central office, with 12 branches. All
branches
are in the same AD site we will call MAIN. All
subnets
are
local to the MAIN site.
Problem: When creating new sites for each branch
office, I
create a subnet, associate it that subent with
that
new
site. Clients that are on that subent should
logon
to
the
main DC in that site right? they dont.
am I missing something here? any other settings im
missing?
