Secondary (backup) domain controller not working ?

Hello,

we have two DCs in our LAN.(192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2).

We have configured them in the DNS configuration for each client member of the domain (primary and secondary DNS).

Just for the test, I power off the first DC, then I reboot one of my client. After typing my login/password, it takes a very long time for the authentication.

DCdiag doesnt show any specific error.

Do you have any idea ?

Thank you
