Re: Secondary (backup) domain controller not working ?

Hello,

thank you for your answer too :)

No I am not using Universal group (and moreover the universal group membership is enabled).

Are you agree with Phillip about what he said ?

Thanks
Hello iautran,

Do you use Universal groups and are the accounts member of them? Then also a Global catalog is required to check them during logon. Personally i only realize a small delay when the preferred DNS/DC is down and i logon again when the machine is still running. If i startup a client when the preferred DNS is down i don't have any delay realized.

Best regards

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
