Hi,
We have a setup here where we have 16 sites around the world. I have recently set up a group policy at the site level which sets a user's internet proxy settings depending on which office they are in to prevent internet traffic travelling needlessly over our internal WAN links.
For some reason, some workstations in our India offices are picking up the group policy which is set on our main HQ office in the UK so are getting the wrong internet proxy settings. I've looked into this and can't figure it out. AD Sites and Services is correctly configured with all 16 sites in it and all relevant subnets attached to these sites. Site links have been set up reflecting the actual WAN links and the cost set to reflect the speed of these links.
The clients all have the correct IP address and subnet (set through DHCP) for the India site, but they are not picking up the Indian proxy settings. DNS looks okay, DCDiag shows no errors on the 2 Indian domain controllers and both of the Indian domain controllers are GCs. I can only think that the Indian DCs are not responding fast enough, but this is hard to believe considering they are powerful machines, there are only 500 users at the site and the link between the Indian site and the UK site is only a 1Mbit connection.
Has anyone any ideas why this would happen or something that should be set but isn't?
Many thanks for any help you can give,
Antony
