Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info. I have the DC's setup exactly as you have mentioned.
Single domain, both DC's are GC, both DC's are DNS AD Integrated and
client able to ping both servers using IP and hostname.
On a second thought, is it because my PDC hosts user folders and apps
folders mapped to drives names, whereas, BDC also do contain these
folders for redundacy purpose, however they are not shared and mapped.
Could this create authentication issues like not being able to map the
drives(since it is trying to map the the share on the failed PDC) from
netlogon script and eventually authentication failing

Well sure. If you are mapping to a share on the down DC it will fail.

It is NOT due to authentication* but due to the missing sharepoint.

If you want both DCs to be able to offer the files then research DFS
(perhaps with automatic replication).

*Authentication is when the user (or computer) proves his/her/its identity
and receives security credentials.
