Hello, we are having problem with application of GP from different DCs in
site.

We do have two DCs in our site, when client (computer) get GP from the
first, It get current GP version

But if client get the GP from second DC, it get wrong version.

There may be a trouble with adm file versions (XP_SP2 firewall settings).

Questions:

1. Is there any way to force client get GP from particular DC (without
changing DC's functionality - turning it of)???

2. Where must be uploaded the adm file to be correctly implemented at all
DCs in the domain???

3. Could it be some replication problem???

Thank you

Petr Komenda
