Smart Card Logon

[Edp Office]

Hi there,
We are using successfull smartcards logon for user's autentication
inside us network ( 1 AD domain controller and about 70 w2k clients).
Is there any way to configure clients to allow smartcard logon even if
they are not attached to the network (that is, without any CA
available)?
In other hands, do i can configure smartcards logon for work in the
same way of passwords logon (that allow domain login even if there is
no DC available?)
Thank you in advance,
any advice will be greatly appreciated...

cached logon works for smartcards just like passwords, but if you are asking
about local account logon with smartcards, not that is not supported.

I posted my previus message because one colleague told me that cached
logon doesn't work with smartcards.. and as you know this is not true.
Was my error didn't make any test on the matter before posting my
problem.
