Re: Forcing Domain User account to authenticate to only one DC

Oh this could be an application issue then. Try to use the ID to log into a workstation and look to see where it is auth'ed at.

Joe,

Thanks for the input. This particular account is only called for login
by the application running my production environment.. ALL OTHER USERS
at my site and in the same container are able to log in successfully
using the local DC.

This isn't how it should work, it should be authenticating locally
though locally is defined in how you set up your network topology in AD.

All,

I have an issue with a domain user account that is critical to our
production system. For some reason, this account tries to authenticate
to the head DC in Australia instead of authenticating to our local DC
here on site. (like a NT 4.0 account would go to the top of the domain
to autheticate)

Is there a way to force this domain account to authenticate through the
local DC and no others.

Thanks in advance for any input on this.
