Hello Domon,

If all DC's will be down, NO user is able to logon to the domain, so they can not use the ressources of the servers. They will only logon locally on the client with cached credentials. Your member servers will still run, but can not be accessed from the clients.


If cached credentials are not used and the group policy setting to not allow logons if the profile can't load is set then user's won't even be able to logon to their local client because they won't be able to authenticate to file servers to download their profile data.

Hi

What will be the impact to the member servers if my DC is down. Let's
say all my DC are down. We are trying to find out how the member
servers will be affected if the DCs are down. We have cluster servers
and member servers. Can someone advise us on this?

Thanks
