Do you have a WINS server at both sites and is replication working properly? Is the new BDC properly registering with the WINS server? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Boggan [mailto:MBoggan@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 3:07 PM To: 'THIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] NT 4 BDCs I have 2 BDCs at a remote site...the old one and a new one. I want to bring the old one down and have the new one take over, but now when i bring the old bdc down logining into servers hangs at a black screen. The new bdc won't do the authentication. anyone have an idea on how i can do this? _________________________________ Michael Boggan Network Engineer/Citrix Admin Virtual Desktop Inc.
