I am assuming this is a Windows 2000 Domain.
The First Domain Controller installed is also the Global Catalog Server.
In order to log in to a domain, the Global Catalog Server needs to be
available.
You can make a second DC an additional Global Catalog Server.
I ran into this problem because we have 2 offices connected via a VPN. Both
offices have Domain Controllers but when the VPN was down, no one from the
other office could log in. Not a good thing.
I just made one of the DCs in the other office a Global Catalog Server. For
me, 2 is enough because it is unlikely one of the GC will be unavailable at
the same time the VPN is down.

Do a search on Global Catalog Server to find out how to make a second DC an
additional GC

Subject: [windows2000] BDC not backing up PDC
I brought my PDC down and while I had it down I tried to
log into the the domain it would not let me.. Brought the
PDC back up and all worked fine. Give me a hint on what I
am doing wrong and what I should check...
Thanks guys,
