Re: Which Domain Controller is doing the authenticating?


Asher,
these are just question that I feel could help me trouble shoot some issues
that I'm dealing with.
But your thinking has a 2 edge sword, if the CEO keeps being authenticated
by the slower DC than there is an appearance that there is a problem and
possibly so.
If I can point him to the faster server till the problem with the slower DC
is solved than things aren't as gloomy as you elude to.
