You can have several Global Catalog Servers.

Access to a GC Server is necessary to log on in a Windows 2000 domain and
that may have changed with 2003. If you are at a remote location and the
connection to the GC goes down, you can not log on even if there is a DC at
your remote location and it knows about you.  Again, I think they fixed that
with 2003 but that is the way it is with 2000.

I'm not that ad-savvy, but are you really supposed to have more than one GC
in a domain? Unless something has been changed with the
2k3 server release? Also, the DCs apparentely require the dhcp-client
service (as I found out recently - I like to turn off services I don't need
on the DCs...) to be auto-started in order to update the DNS-records and let
the other DCs know they are up and running.

My five öre.

windows 03 dc's drop connections to other dc 

hello,  

We have a 2k03 network that consists of:  

one domain with one site
we have 2 physical locations connected via 3 mb wan connection. A dc at each
location that functions as a global catalog , dns and dhcp.  We are
currently experiencing sporadic dropped connections between the dc's  in
each location. (cant ping other dc ..let alone replicate). We can ping other
member servers and client machines from the dc's. It just seems that dcs
stop communicating. A reboot of each dc seems to resolve each issue
temporarily. Any ideas would be appreciated.

BW,

Sorin
