global catalog problem

[Guest]

people cannot log into the network. I am running total win2k network with sp4. I checked the log files and DS says that it cannot find the global catalog. All servers are pointing to AD DDNS servers. If you pull up active directory users you can see them all. However because no domain controller can find a global catalog you really cannot do anything with active directory. I have Active Directory on three servers with server2 as the global catalog server. How can I get these server to find the global catelog server.

Dennis,
Read article below and follow suggestions including those in additional
links mentioned in article

To avoid problems with GC in the future you can make one more of your DCs or
all three of them a Global Catalog Servers.

make all your servers GCs.

Yes, that's the best thing to do, once you've followed the instruction of
restarting netlogon referenced by Alex.
