Is your Win2K domain mixed mode or native mode. If mixed mode, is your Win2K FSMO PDC emulator across the WAN link? By design, any non-Windows 2000 client (server or workstation) will authenticate to the PDC emulator in a mixed-mode Win2K environment.

Hi All,
I have a unique situation here at my place. We have around 3-4 filers with win2k environment. We also have win2k dc in the same environment Actually, the cifs authetication happens to across the wan link. I am wondering why ?
I tried to tell the filer through CIFS prefdc option to prefer the 2 dc' at my location beofre finding other servers in the domain. But it doesnt seems to work. OS versions of the filers are 6.1.1R2
Any help will be appreciated.
