Re: Multple Domain Controllers at remote sites

tell me something about your DNS settings... The clients must be able to
contact a DNS server authoritative for your domain zone so that they can
find the DC responsible for their site.
Also some event id errors from the DCs and clients may help.

The DC's were already GC's (i didn't realise). Must be some other issue ??

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
