Simple things first.

You have three Sites with 4 DCs.
When you say "Site" do you only mean only the Physical Site or do you mean
Sites listed in Active Directory Sites and Services?

How do you configure DNS on the Clients and "other" servers within their
TCP/IP Specs?

How do you configure DNS on the DCs themselves within their TCP/IP specs?

I have a 2003 AD and my workstations are very slow to apply computer
settions
and complete the user login.

For the most part I have figured it's just how it is.
Yesterday I used Group Policy to deploy Java 6-13 via machine settings.
The install is taking anywhere from 20 min to over an hour on some
systems.
There is nothing I can do except wait for the process to complete.
As far as I can tell my DNS is running well.

I have 2 AD servers on my local site and 2 other sites each with a AD
server.
All my workstations are in the one main site (with the two Ad servers)
The other sites are my off site Exchange (hosted and connected via VPN)
and
an backup server (connected via VPN)

I wonder if some of my clients are connecting to the othere sites for
their
AD info. ?Runing scripts over the slower VPN.

Is there a health check I can run to verify all AD transations run on my
main site?
Or can I somehow block Group Policy Scripts from running across sites?

Maybe a way to see what DC each client connects to?
I feel like my AD health is not wonderful.
