So, with the first DC down, and the second (new) DC up, what happens when you try to logon to a machine? Do you get "no logon servers are available to service this request"? or are you able to logon?

The new dc is registered in the dhcp to be the first dns server. The second dns server is the original windows server 2003 DC. DNS has all the proper srv records for both new and old domain controller. Jimmy Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> wrote: How are the clients locating this DC? (e.g. what are they using for DNS?
