Just users in the primary site are hitting netlogon shares in the secondary, 
and it’s taking 15-20 mins for their changes to show (sometimes a bit more, TBH)

They’re testing some stuff and I get the impression they’re reporting a lot of 
issues that are related to the lag in replication more than anything wrong with 
the things I’m working on. Mention Active Directory to anyone and you get a 
shrug and a shudder ☺

Makes no difference.

Is the real issue here that there are ‘big’ delays in replication?

I’m just using the short domain name rather than FQDN – does that make a 
difference?

If you browse to \\fqdn\someshare<file://fqdn/someshare>, where you end up is 
determined by DNS resolution.

\\contoso.com<http://contoso.com>\NetLogon will be resolved to 
\\some.contoso.dc.ip\NetLogon<file://some.contoso.dc.ip/NetLogon> and then your 
system will go there.

A question for the AD masters out there…

If I browse to the \\DOMAIN\netlogon<file://DOMAIN/netlogon> share, how is the 
DC I browse to in this instance defined? I’m fairly sure it isn’t the server 
specified in the %LOGONSERVER% variable. Got users who are changing things in 
the NETLOGON share and they’re finding big delays in seeing these updates 
because they’re hitting servers in different physical sites.

Am I right in thinking it depends in how subnets are configured in Sites and 
Services? Or way off base?

Cheers,
