Hi, we have around 60 users, that are Windows 2000/XP and 98 clients.
When we restart our file server which has DNS/DHCP/AD, Exchange 2000
(via another server) running, it freezes up the users, when they are
in outlook or any kind of windows program. We tried to setup another
windows 2000 as a domain controller, so if one server restarts it
would compensate for the other, but that didn't help. Is there a way
to tell the client workstations to continue using email, and other web
services without locking up, when the main AD server has to be
restarted for maintenance?

thanks
Nick
