Maybe my understanding is flawed but I thought the purpose of the BDC
was in the case of the PDC going offline, users could still use the

were unable to map their network drive. The PDC is in our office while
the file server is in the server room where its been setup as a domain
member. On the server room subnet is its own BDC with its own ldap
server. Checking the logs I see that the server room BDC is listed as
the local domain server. The only thing that comes to mind is the BDC
does point to the PDC as the wins server. Is that the issue? Is there
a way around it?
The PDC/BDC controls logging onto the network.
Network file shares are different, what server was hosting the "network
drive"? If the PDC also hosted the network drive then they would also go
down.
