There are no WINS servers set on the BDC, and I don't believe WINS is running anywhere. There is no WINS service on the PDC. The BDC is using LMHOSTS. I can ping the PDC both by name and IP.

How is WINS? Can the BDC get name lookups to the PDC and the domain name that way?

Subject: Roaming profiles issue

Good morning,

I'm having a roaming profile issue this morning on a (don't laugh)
Windows NT domain.  A few of our legacy PCs login to the old NT domain
for their roaming profiles.  When users login, they get an error that
their profile is not available.

There is a PDC and a DBC.  Profiles are on the BDC.  The PDC and BDC
can see each other, and I can browse the shares on both, but when I go
into the shares, I get an inaccessible error.  From my laptop, which
is not part of the domain, I can open files on the PDC, but not on the
BDC.  In the event viewer of the BDC I'm getting an Event ID:3096.
The Windows NT domain controller for this domain could not be located.

Any idea what might be wrong?  We had a power outage last night, but
this is the only issue we're running into.

Thanks,
