I think that's incorrect if you're talking about autositecoverage. Autositecoverage by DCs from some domain for some site will only occur if some site has no DCs from that same domain. Although DCs are down and not available, the DCs in other sites in the same domain see in their own replica that that site has DCs and autositecoverage will occur. Sitecoverage will occur by other DCs if you configured it manually through the registry or a GPO

The DCs in the site with lowest cost to site A will perform this role. What do you mean by 'take down'? Are you taking a WAN link down or powering off the DCs or demoting them or what? neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Brown Sent: 28 March 2005 21:55 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] AD Site Confusion I have 3 sites, site A has 2 DC's and site B & C each have 1 DC. When I take down site A (both DC's), the clients in Site A cannot log in. Shouldn't they be able to log in using site B or C?
