Is the machine logging into a local AD domain ? For AD to work properly (in your case login authetication possibly) you would need DNS. It is possible to configure a nonMS BIND 6.2 DNS server to handle object records that AD requires, but I believe you can expect difficulty with no object

[ActiveDir] Child domain DC

2001-11-13 Thread Rogers, Michael J.
If the DC for a child domain went down, would a user from the child domain still be authenticated by the parent DC or are they dead in the water until the child DC came back?

They'd be fine. Actually, it doesn't even have to be the parent domain, depending on the structure of your AD. -Original Message-From: Rogers, Michael J. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 11:14 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ActiveDir] Child

That is very cool. Ours is very basic. We have 2 DCs in the parent and 1 DC in the child. I am trying to decide if I need to add another DC in the child and I guess that answers my question. We will be authenticating about 1500 users in the child domain. -Original Message-

I hate to p1ss on everyone's fire here, but 1500 users on one machine strikes me as 'all my eggs in one basket' routine. Yes W2K can handle this number of users yet - If you have 1 DCin a child domain this is unlikely to be a GC because you haven't split the infrastructure master fsmo onto

The first DC in your windows 2000 AD takes the Global Catalog role by default. It also takes the 5 FSMO roles. Sounds like you removed active directory from the first DC before you transfered all these roles to the new server. Check out the article Q223787 and see if that helps. You will also

You need to have at least 2 DC in the child. Since only the Domain controllers in a domain have the Domain Partition of AD, if the child DC goes down that whole domain is down. Only the Schema and Configuration partitions replicate throughout the forest. -Original Message-

When you demoted the DC it should have transferred all of the Roles to the other server. You will need to manually configure the server as a GC. Do this through the AD sites and services MMC. Once in the MMC go into the default site -- servers -- select the server -- right click on NTDS settings
