SYMPTOMS
Client computers in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based domain are not given the correct information from the Net Logon service after you change the site association of a subnet object in the configuration container of Active Directory directory service Sites and Services.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Net Logon service is not notified of the subnet site association change, and the service's topology information is not updated.
