Re: DC issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

one of us is not understanding the other....

you are saying...."clients obtain auto DNS"

please tell what you mean with that...

IMHO I understand that you are saying that clients receive their DNS
information from the DHCP server. Right?

So you have 2 DCs DC1 and DC2 and both DCs are also a DNS servers. The DHCP
server should provide an IP address and several options like DNS Domain
Name, DNS servers, etc.
For the DNS servers, is only ONE DNS server being handed out by DHCP or
both?
If you would type IPCONFIG /ALL do you see the IP of both DNS servers?

Hello,

We use windwos 2000 SP4 Active Directory with DC2, and DC3 servers
Both DC is are set to synronize (replicate) with each other having
DC3
is
the master catalog holder.

When DC2 goes down, DC3 seem to take care authentication of logon,
and
all
other services that servers need.
But when DC3 goes down, (if I re-boot) everyone in the network have
logon/disconnect issues where it should not happen.
No even log info for raplication failure on DCs.

Anyone idea why DC2 is not doing the job when DC3 is down?

Thanks
MC
