Guest Auddog Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I have a multiple site network connected via frame relay. I have a local DC at each location and would like the client to authenicate against the local server. I have seen several instances where the authenication was being done by a remote server. Can this be done? Thanks for the help in advance. A
Guest Phillip Windell Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Re: Autheincate against local server 1. Every site must be a different subnet. It probably already is,..but if not it needs to be or you are screwed. 2. Use the Sites Object and Subnets Object in AD. This is the mechanism for WAN Topology to maintain AD Replication over WAN Links and to manage what DC the users log in to. Users will always log into the DC that is in the same AD Site that they are in,...and the Site is identified by the Subnet (hence every location needs to be a different subnet). Research the use of AD Sites from MS's Site or via whatever other documentation you might have. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "Auddog" <will_k@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23amj6y71IHA.3920@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I have a multiple site network connected via frame relay.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Re: Autheincate against local server Hello Auddog, Use Active directory sites and services, create new sites, configure the different subnets for the sites and move the DC to the site they belong to. So the clients will use first the DC in there site to authenticate. Also i would check to have in each site a DNS/GC server available.
