Hi Greg,
When clients boot up and users log on, any server, PDC or BDC, can respond to the user's
logon request. The client will then be logged on by whichever server responds to the request.
There is no way to control which server will authenticate the user.
To see which server authenticated a user logon, on the user computer at a command prompt,
you can type set l ( that is set el) and then hit enter. It will show you which server authenticated
the user logon.
Hope this helps,
Gary

'--'I am trying to find out how to locate and change the
