We have two Windows 2003 Servers at work, both set as Domain Controllers.
One is what we like to call the PDC (yes old term but it fits) and the other a BDC, even though they both do the same job.
The problem is ... when we restart the PDC for updates, etc - if a user has not logged onto the system, they can't log in at all. The 2nd Windows box won't do the authenicating for them, even though I have seen it do it during the day when I have checked to see what their Logon Server was.
I've also checked that the BDC is listed as a secondary DNS server, so it should work.
I'm guessing its a DHCP issue ...
Any ideas ?
