Hi
Just make sure that the clients use the correct DNS server, and that the DCs
are in the correct site.
Remember Sites have two main roles:
- To facilitate authentication, by determining the nearest
domain controller when a user logs on from a workstation
- To facilitate the replication of data between sites Because
site names are used in the records registered in the Domain Name System
(DNS) by the domain locator, they must be valid DNS names.
Active Directory uses sites to: Optimize replication for speed
and bandwidth consumption between domain controllers, Locate the closest
domain controller for client logon, services, and directory searches, Direct
a Distributed File System (DFS) client to the server that is hosting the
requested data within the site, Replicate the system volume (SYSVOL).

If the user's workstations have IP Addresses that are within the scope of
subnets assigned to those sites, the user will be logged-on by a DC in
that site.
