The DC, BDC and W2kclient all points to the DNS on the DC.

        Sounds like a DNS issue. What is your DNS config on workstation, PDC and
        BDC?

        Subject: [ActiveDir] W2K not authenticated by NT4 BDC when DC is down.
        
        I'm preparing an upgrade of a NT domain to a W2k domain.
        
        The scenario:
        
        I have one NT PDC and one NT BDC in my domain TEST.
        In the TEST domain I have one W2kclient. Everything works great.
        
        I upgrade the PDC to W2k DC and with the upgrade I also install DNS on the
        DC and name the domain TEST.LOCAL
        Everything works great and I can login to TEST.LOCAL with the W2kclient.
        
        But,
        When the DC is down and only the old NT BDC is up, I cannot login to the
        domain.
        I get the classic error:
        The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer
        account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is
        incorecct.
        
        When I look in the event viewer the synchronization works between the DC and
        the BDC.
        With both DC and BDC I can see the W2kclient computer account in server
        manager.
        But with the DC down I only see the two servers in server manager.
        
        Why is the account missing when the DC is down?
        Probably I have missed something in the upgrade process but I cannot figure
        out what.
        I have tried this twice now with the same result.
        
        Any suggestions?
