Hmmm...stopping DCs looking to a GC for logon still wont force a machine to
use a specific DC when there is more than one DC per site.
However, your comment about hiding DCs sounds interesting -I've not heard of
this before. Can you provide some pointers to this??

Hello,
What Paul says about sites are true, How ever you can actually hide DCs and
disable the Requirement that a Global Catalog Server Be Available to
Validate User Logons

Post by ptwilliamsNo you cannot. Only site allocation and subnet prioritisation will dictate
which DC you logon to; if there's more than one DC in a site, then it will
appear to the end user as random (DNS uses round-robin record allocation by
default).
If you have multiple sites, proper configuration of sites and subnets will
ensure that logon doesn't occur across the WAN (unless the local DCs are
down).

I have a domain with a few DC's. Can I create a GPO to a computer OU to
force the clients to authenticate to a specific DC? Or another way to do
similar?
Thanks!!
