I found that we had jumpstations that were in a subnet which was not registered in AD. They were using login servers in Singapore and Indonesia, and of course any AD tool was pointing across the world also (yes I know how to change DC but I'd rather not have to go to the trouble). I registered the subnet in the correct site, but the jumpstation is still connecting to Singapore. I figured it might take a bit for this to take effect, but I'm not sure exactly what the backend processing is... does the subnet registration have to replicate, and if so, to where, before the client will see it? Is it the local DNS that has to see it? DNS is pointing to local DC/DNS servers, but for some reason they were sending it (in three instances I checked) across the world to authenticate. Does the client hold onto whatever site it got originally referred to, and if so, until when? This is less operational urgency and more curiosity, perhaps someone else here might find the information interesting also. Thanks Rich
