Some help with understanding what's going on required.
I've setup a new AD Site for our Direct Access clients (Windows 8.1). The subnets are defined correctly. However, I've not assigned any specific DCs to the Site, as they can just use the DCs of our main site (we have no other sites, were previously using just one site for both local and remote clients).
Clients are able to process Group Policy just fine, except they still seem to be processing GPOs as clients of the main site.
i.e.,
- I run "nltest /getgetdc:domain" and 'Our Site Name' = Remote-Clients but 'Dc Site Name' = "Default....".
- I run "gpresult /r /scope computer" and 'Site Name' = "Default...."
- I check in the registry here: "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DynamicSiteName\" and that's "Remote-Clients" (but the SiteName value is "Default...".
So, is this expected? Must I create and assign a DC (or two) to this new Site just so that I can get the clients to process for policy for their own site?
