"A termite walks into a bar and says s'the bar tender here?" My customer has a two domain controller win2k AD based forest hosting a citrix fr3 farm. For reasons best known to the customer, they have a totally seperate win2k AD forest which hosts an NT4 workstation base. Some bloke in the pub told them that if their first dc which held all five operational master roles plus the global catalogue function failed, then users would be unable to logon?? I disagree with this comment because the failure of the three forest wide master roles plus the GC should not prevent user logon. It may prevent, in some circumstances, problems adding objects?? Other than, that I imagine that the domain would continue normally. As far as I am concerned, the GC simply holds a subset of the 'domain partition' bit of the active directory databases from other domains within the same forest and would have no bearing on logon?? Please tell me I am right....
