I didn't touch the server because I thought that the second server would take over and at least let me login into the network. So again I wanted to test it so I brought the first server down and boom I couldn't login until I brought that server backup. I looked in the AD and under domain controlers bother server are listed. So I am confussed to why it is not working.. ----------------------Original message------------------- The second server has in fact been promoted to a domain controller, instead of just a member server, right?

I come from a strong NT background and I am not to good on AD yet.... I am using AD and both servers are running win2k. Like I said when I had the server that was my only server at one time "PDC" turned off I could not log into the network with a 2000 workstation. As soon as I brought the server backup it let me attach to the network... I hope that is enough info... ----------------------Original message------------------- Do you have some more info, like what "would not let me" means? Was there an error dialog displayed when trying to log in? What was it? Anything in any event logs? When you say PDC and BDC, does that mean that you have NT DCs? (The answers to these questions won't mean anything to me, because I don't know anything about W2K. I just like this list. But I think those who may be able to help with the issue will want to know the answers to these questions.)
