is there a way I can force my scripts to querey my DC instead of trying to query the GC...



I think that is the crux of your problem, mainly that your clients are not finding the GC and are querying the DC. Do you not have the GC replicated to all DCs? In W2K AD, the clients could not even logon without a GC, but 2K3 changed that.
