How much of a resource hog is a PDC? My understanding is that authentication is done vs a BDC if available. I configured my new file server as the domain PDC because I figured it would already have to run samba. I have two other machines configured as BDCs to serve as logon servers.

I'm looking for opinions on whether I'm asking for performance problems by making my file server the PDC. Actually, this machine is already serving as PDC but its not in production yet as a file server. So right now, its just the domain PDC. When I log into the domain and "echo %logonserver%", it shows that one of the BDCs was the logon server, not the PDC. It doesn't look like the PDC has to do anything but handle joining machines to the domain.
