Re: Multple Domain Controllers at remote sites

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

you've forgot to make those DCs Global Catalogs.
You'll need at least one GC per site for logon to work.

Hello

I have several w2k servers located at various remote sites within my
domain
and have installed a domain controller at each location. I hoped that
would
allow users located at these sites to still be able to log on locally if
the
network link went down. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. As soon
as
the network link drops the users at that remote site are unable to log on.
Seems to defeat the object of having DC's at these sites.

Have I missed configured something, somewhere ?? Perhaps during the
DCPROMO
wizard ??

Thanks for the help

Gary
