| When using the code below available from
http://techtasks.com/code/viewbookcode/1449 its giving me a DC in another
site but my current site has a DC in it. The DC in my local site shows as
my logon server when using echo %logonserver% at the command line.
How can I fix the AD sites so that each site reports its own DC which
obviously is the closest DC.
We have 9 sites in ad which represent each city, each site/city has its own
DC.

| My first thought would be to verify that you have your IP addresses within each site configured correctly within ADSS.

| Using this reports the correct DC and site.

Paul, all subnets are setup and associated to the sites correctly.

| I think I have it all working correctly now. I edited the Site Link and
created one for each city that included the city and the home office only.
The original default site link was setup to have all cities in it at one
time.
I waited for that to replicate to each office then checked it all again and
now the script is seeing the correct DC.
