Windows clients will give preference to a BDC (if available) when
selecting a logon server over a PDC.

terminal services and another 50 fat clients,,, acts as the file

network card only being 100mb,, I do have a throughput issues.. but
that is on the table..

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.
