Not necessarily. I can’t remember which OS DNS became primary. Vista? Or was it all the way back to XP?

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?
