Yes. We are using windows 2000 and XP. I just want people to be able to
login into the network even if the SBS200 server is completely down for some
reason. I am pretty sure I have setup the other domain controllers
correctly. All of them are set as Global Catalog Servers. The only thing I
can think of is that the DNS is setup incorrectly. Right now, I have the SBS
2000 setup as the primary DNS and one of the other Domain controllers setup
as the secondary DNS on our network....an other ideas...
