I would suggest to rsync the profile and home shares periodically,
between DCs, of course it would mean a lot of disk space waste :-(

Dear Paul:
Would you show me how can I implement the BDC so that
the user can mount to the BDC home and get the profile
on BDC instead when the PDC is down??
Thanks a lot!

Makes sense
it keeps saying that it can't retrieve the user
profile. Also the user's home drive can't map to
client PC machine.
Also makes sense.
the map drive and the profile path as //PDC/homes
and
//PDC/profiles. Is that mean, if I am using BDC, it
is
failed to find the //PDC/homes and //PDC/profiles?
If your pdc has gone down you will most certainly
have a problem
mounting drives/accessing files on that machine,
just as when any other
server goes down you can't access services hosted on
it. If this is
your goal, you need to find some way to make the
pdc/home data highly
available, such as storing them on a seperate server
that the users are
then pointed to for the data. There are many ways
to go about doing
this, you just need to find the way that works best
for your situation.
