Q.
have three win2k servers with Ad installed on all. One domain.
AD intergrated DNS installed on two of them.
one of the DNS servers goes down. CAN'T log onto the domain
Why?
I though that all AD servers could authenticate if in the same site!
thanks for your response Yizhar,
yeh I perhaps enphasised the DNS thing to much. I think DNS is ok, I mentioned that to eliminate DNS being the prob.
seems to be complaining about Gl Cat server in the ev log.
Do I need a GL Cat server for authentication.
Thanks again for such a quick response.
Gary.
It is possible that the server that went down was your Global Catalog server which is required for universal groups in native mode. By default the first DC in a site is a GC server.
