Dear,

I'm in AD mixed mode windows 2000 (without NT4 BDC) and
have 3 DCs all of them are GC and in the same site.All my
clients PC are win 2000 Pro SP3.

Today I've been troubles with my TSE servers, I decided to
reboot all the DCs, when I rebooted the PDC emulator
nobody could log on and a pop up error appeared.

I thought that the PDC emulator was for pre windows 2000
autentication or when GC are unavailables.
Is that true?

Do you have a methode to bypass these troubles?

Kind Regards
O. CARRE
 
What was the error ? Windows 2000 clients don't need PDC emulator to logon,
but they do use global catalog when authenticating. Windows 2000 clients use
DNS server to locate DC's, so I would start from checking my DNS
configuration and then examine event logs on servers to see if everything is
OK.
