Sounds like DNS to me is some way or another... can you run dcdiag and netdiag and look for obvious errors.

Yes, all our domain controllers are also DNS servers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robert Rutherford Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 10:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] WAN outage caused issues... Has the remote site got its own DNS server? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: 05 October 2004 16:27 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] WAN outage caused issues... What's the deal on WAN links going down between AD sites? As long as each site has a Global Catalog, they should be fine, correct? We had a remote site's WAN link go down the other day, and users eventually could not access any network drives (on the local file server even). They rebooted and it took forever to get the ctrl-alt-del logon box too. They couldn't get any network resources at all, just local drives and printers. We're in an Win2k AD domain with SP4. Most of the clients are XP and some are Win2k.
