We have 1 domain with 3 sites. &nbsp;1 dfs root replicated with many links. &nbsp;Some links are to shares that are replicated and some are not. &nbsp;We are having a problem with a client that reports to the wrong site and therefore is seeing the wrong version of the unreplicated shares. &nbsp;We can't find any errors in the logs of either the servers or the client. &nbsp;Is there a way that I could force this client to report to the correct location? &nbsp;
