It is possible that your member server on boot utilized the DNM DC as its authentication server. When you try and logon as a user by default you will attempt to authenticate to the same DC as the machine authenticated to assuming of course the user and computer object are members of the same domain. If the machines authenticating servers is down I would expect there to be a time out period however not of a significant period.
How long is it taking when the DNM is down? Does this occur on all member servers? How about workstations? What happens if the DNM is down and you reboot the member server - does this lag time to logon still occur?

OK, we don't know Your site and subnets design, so .. how many sites do You have and how many DC's is in thsi sites. In this site where problem occurs there is any other DC, or this holding domain naming role is the only one DC in site? If it is an alone DC, when it is unavilable then users from this site have to logon to DC in other site, after this problem occurs chec to which DC this station was logged on. -- Tomasz Onyszko [MVP]- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.w2k.pl List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
