I'm having the same problem with the wrong DC being used. I think it 
might be the Kerberos setup on the Unix box that's at fault, as it 
only points to the offsite DC not the local one, though it could allow 
for multiple. Our support organisation is investigating ...

  Set will tell you which logon server has handled the clients logon. 
Look for LOGONSERVER: 
 
 There could be something wrong with our local DC. Run DCDIAG and 
check the event viewer for errors in directory service and DNS.

 Thanks, 
 
 I've found the following, as I only have read-only access to the 
sites and services stuff: 
 * Our subnet is associated with our site definition. 
 * Under our site --> Servers, only the local domain controller is 
listed. 
 
 I also googled around and found out about "set l" on the command 
line, which shows our local DC. But I'm not sure how useful this is, 
because the VPN tunnel has been broken for a couple days and the 
logins are more recent than that.

 Make sure the subnets in AD Sites and Services are correctly 
configured. I believe they perform to functions: 
 
 1. To control DC replication traffic between sites. 
 2. To make clients authenticate with local domain controllers first. 
 
 Thanks

 Subject: [Samba] Active Directory domain controller authentication 
order 
 
 Hello, 
 
 I'm curious if anybody knows how to configure the order in which 
domain 
 controllers are contacted by clients for authentication purposes and 
other 
 such stuff. I've a situation where it seems that all our Windows 
computers 
 are attempting to authenticate off of a remote server before the 
local one, 
 which is backwards. I'm not even certain where to check what they are 
 actually attempting to authenticate against, but whenever a VPN 
tunnel we 
 have to an upstream office breaks, logins and file share browsing and 
other 
 stuff slows to a crawl. 
 
 Thanks for any hints,
