Re: One DC not logging in users when other is down

Hi James
Are the computers in a different IP Subnet, do you have the Active directory
sites and services properly configured, any errors in event log, are the
clients older clients like NT4, 98, etc... Is the PDCe online and available
to these clients?
Also run dcdiag and netdiag in the DC(s) and search for outpu errors

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

Hey all,
I ahve 2 domain controllers at our main location. I had all of
the servers down today. I turned on domain controller 1 and started
turning on other servers after it was up and running. When I would try to
login to the other servers they wouldnt login to the domain. I started the
second domain controller and everything was fine after it came up. How can
I make sure that both server will take login requests?

Thanks,
James
