Autheincate against local server

[Guest Auddog]

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.

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.

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.

 

Best regards
