sorry,this is what I wanted to post.
Symptoms: 1. In client, you may receive Event ID 5719: "No Windows NT or
Windows 2000 Domain Controller is available for domain Domain. The following
error occurred: There are currently no logon servers available to service
the logon request."
2. In DC, you may receive Event ID 5719: "No Windows NT or Windows 2000
Domain Controller is available for domain chicagotech.net. The following
error occurred: There are currently no logon servers available to service
the logon request.
3. You logon domain user in a domain network, the mapping logon script
displays this message: "There is no domain controller available to validate
this account."
4. You use a office laptop to connect the office VPN, when you map a network
drive using this command line: net use \\chicagotech\shared
/u:chicagotech.net/blin, you may receive this message: "This account is the
same as the one logged on to the system and that this account was tried
before to logon. There is no domain controller available to validate this
account"

Causes: 1.The DC is down.
2. Can't access the DC.
3. The DNS issue.
4. Run out of buffer space in the NetBT datagram buffer.
