Great. Thank you. Running dcdiag earlier, I did see that there were a number of machines on the network that were affected as you describe. The netlogon.log file hasn't changed since I deleted the new site, and dcdiag is now coming back without errors. My workstation was one of the ones with is

You got it - these records are a result of DCs saying "I am authoritative for this site" (whether as a result of being located in the site, or by being close to the site if it has no DCs). The actual subnet-to-site mappings only live in AD, and "nltest /dsgetdc" is the best way to confirm that a c

Yes, AD and things that depend on AD will generally do fine with one site and no subnet mappings at all. Once there are two or more sites, you must map every client to a site via ADS&S or things will start to go off the rails. Go ahead and create a second, larger subnet for the site, wait a decen

Too many questions. Force the Exchange server into a particular site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc937923.aspx Then fix everything. (Note: other applications may need the same treatment as Exchange.) Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExch
