I have a multiple site network connected via frame relay. I have a local DC
at each location and would like the client to authenicate against the local
server. I have seen several instances where the authenication was being
done by a remote server. Can this be done? Thanks for the help in advance.

Re: Autheincate against local server

1. Every site must be a different subnet. It probably already is,..but if
not it needs to be or you are screwed.

2. Use the Sites Object and Subnets Object in AD. This is the mechanism for
WAN Topology to maintain AD Replication over WAN Links and to manage what DC
the users log in to. Users will always log into the DC that is in the same
AD Site that they are in,...and the Site is identified by the Subnet (hence
every location needs to be a different subnet).

Research the use of AD Sites from MS's Site or via whatever other
documentation you might have.

Hello Auddog,

Use Active directory sites and services, create new sites, configure the
different subnets for the sites and move the DC to the site they belong to.
So the clients will use first the DC in there site to authenticate. Also
i would check to have in each site a DNS/GC server available.

Best regards
