Re: client logon slow when 1 DC is down

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



Does your clients dns entries have both DC's defined? It sounds like you
only have 1 of them and you are logging on with cached credentials.

Hi,

i have an AD setup which goes like this:
DC1 - DFS
DC2 - with FSMO roles / DFS
Both DCs' DNS pointing to itself
Login script via netlogon

XP/2k Client - using DHCP. primary DNS pointing to DC1. secondary is DC2

When i shutdown DC1, i tested client login to domain. after login, it is
getting very slow when running the login script or even at times the login
script did not run at all.
If i click on 'my computer', i will see a blank white page instead of the
indow to see 'local drive & network drive'.

Why is that so? normal?

steve
