Sites handling.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi everyone,

I have many sites now defined in one domain, most of my sites are located on
the end of slow 2mbit links, my reasons for domain controllers is the same
as most, performance, resilance and dr.

My problem is not with these sites as such, but more the machines at my main
site, they are all a member of the default first site by ip range subnets.

The problem, many machines are randomly using the domain controllers at the
end of these 2mbit links instead of the two located at my main site.

Can someone explain why this happens and how to fix the problem.

My first thoughts are to create another site for my main site and move my
domain controllers into it and assign my main site subnets to this new site?

Logon performance at my main site is dire right now in excess of 15minutes,
after checking those slow computers its noticable that the logonserver is a
server at the end of a 2mbit cable not good!


Thankyou greatly for any help.
Oz
