My apologies for asking this again, I know it has been discussed briefly before, but
I found no reference in the archives, so I had to ask again. As always, when you
don't need it, it doesn't register!
I just had a drive failure on my primary controller (NT4), (which was raided so no big
deal), but the backup domain controller failed to take over. I remember a short
discussion about this, but I don't think anything was actually discussed about what
actually is supposed to occur when this happens. The MS KB articles are of little use.
When I down a primary for a short time (say for a reboot), the users have still been
able to validate logins, so I have always presumed that the backup has been taking
over. This time, it did not, and I was wondering why not? Then I recalled the
discussion here a couple of months ago and tried to remember what was decided. Could
anyone refresh my memory, on list or off, without calling me too many names for not
doing my own research? (This Nimda recovery thing all this week has my nerves a bit
frazzled and my eyelids drooping!)
I do appreciate the help I get here!
