Hi,

I need to restrict my domain computers to only use their branch DC when they connect through a specific branch subnet, whereas they should be able to use any DC when they go to the Head Office. I have already created a site and assigned the subnet but still the servers and pcs are not limited to their branch DC.

Thanks.

    There's really nothing native for this beyond the locator. You'll need some custom blocking or other and this isn't recommended to do. Something here could help.
