Mike,
Thanks, but I've already seen the technote(and every tech note written on
the subject). We've got plenty of resources on both nodes to handle the AD
and domain controller overhead. My purpose in asking the question was to
discover if anyone running thier cluster as I am is running into the kinds of
problems I've outlined.
Any thoughts on the printer/cluster service hangs?
