Re: Same logonserver even though a few DC's

Thanks Paul. That's what I thought (at 2am this morning). I will disconnect
one of the dc's - the other's should pickup. I'll also run the utils. I've
downloaded your script and try it too.

I agree on Jorge diagnostic options here is a little more elaboration.

If you don't have the tools installed, install them from your server install
disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Run dcdiag, netdiag and repadmin in verbose mode.
-> dcdiag /e /c /v /s:DC_Name /f:c:\dcdiag.log
-> netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt

If you download a gui script I wrote it should be simple to set and run
(DCDiag and NetDiag). It also has the option to run individual tests
without having to learn all the switch options. The details will be output
in notepad text files that pop up automagically.

The script is located in the download section on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com

Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the
default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)

When complete search for fail, error and warning messages.

Hi
- By default the users should be loadbalanced by available DCs, why do you
say that the users only use that DC?
- If you're having problems when you disconnect that DC and that DC is
also DNS server, make sure that the clients use any other available DNS
servers.
-Also run DCdiag and Netdiag and check for output errors on these DCs.

All users get authenticated by one server %logonserver% instead of all
available logon servers. The logon server that is working is NOT the
FSMO
holder, PDC emulator.....

There is no group policy for logonserver or script. How does this work?
Any available DC should act as a logonserver - yes?
