Hi,

A customer has a WAN with W2K servers on each side.
The workstations on the main office once all used the domain controller on the remote site as the default domain controller, which slowed things down to a crawl.

Unfortunately I did not write the registry keys down where the references to the remote server were.
Any ideas how to force a workstation to a default domain controller in an Active Directory?

TIA
Loek
 
Have you checked to see what server is runing what operation master roles? You can have the local server take over the master roles then the workstations will automaticly use it for those services (such as autentication).
