This is a query re the technote on www.gpoguy.com re the issue of the server from which AD info retrived being different from the one which delivers GPO data would like to understand the concept of DFS referral a bit better 1. I assume DFS referral request is sent to the logon server discovered by SRV (not SVC record lookup data) records in the DNS ?? 2. the DFS server responds with a referral list prior to this patch how would a DFS referral list be ordered ? with this patch and configured with 'preferlogondc', what mechanism does the DFS server put the 'logon server' at the top of the list ? 3. how does the client respond to the DFS referral list say in terms of connecting to other servers in the list retry / timeout if not avaialble ?
