I have a network setup as a hub and spoke.
I've noticed when users on one of the spokes connect to a DFS share,
they end up pointing to on on another spoke inistead of the hub.

I'm assuming AD isn't setup to say the hub takes priority.
Not sure if this is the right forum, but I thought if it involved AD i
would ask here.

thanks!

You need to check that you have correctly defined all subnets and associated
the correct subnets with the correct sites. You also need to check that the
correct server object (that represents the DC) is in the correct site and
that there are no stale entries in DNS. That is, that a DC isn't registered
under a site it no longer belongs to.

Check the former with DSSITE.MSC and the latter with DNSMGMT.MSC.
