Cannot logon to the Domain



Hi,

Occasionally we need to service the FSMO PDC (Windows Updates). During the
downtime ( Usually a reboot) users cannot logon to the Domain although there
is another DC with a replica of
the GC.

I know that I can Transfer the Operation Master role to the other DC, but I
am concern of the time it might take to do this and I do not know if I have
to do it on all three Tabs ( RID, PDC and Infrastructure ). We have two
domain on the same tree, a primary domain with a child domain.

Is there's a way so that users and services with domain account will be able
to stay authenticated while the FSMO is down for maintenance, sometimes is
it only the time of a reboot after applying Microsoft Update patches.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Henri.
