Our DFS-N is referring users to shares off Site (to other AD Sites). It appears to be round robin in nature. Our end goal is to have users hit the shares in their local AD site (where they log in). I have tried several fixes ( confirming AD sites and services is correct, dfssitecostedreferal) from the internet to no avail, any help would be appreciated.
We have 4 AD sites (each with their own IPv4 subnet) All sites and IPv4 subnets are broken down in AD Sites and services.
Below is the log: dfsdiag /testreferral /full
I am wondering if the issue has to do with IPv6 but I know nothing about IPv6 and have not touched it on our network. All servers are 2008R2.
