Ok, this was part of a post, so I figured I would just
make it a new post since it is my biggest problem.
Quick overview.
Built a brand new doamin controller, 2 servers both
running active directory. The specs of the servers.
-HP DL380's Dual Xeon 3.4 ghx, 2 gig Ram, 5- 36 gb hard
drives in raid 5
-Windows 2000 service pack 4
-Active directory, DNS, and DHCP
-PDC/BDC type scenerio (wrong terms, yes I know)
Anyways, when a client logs in, it takes 4-5 minutes.
Although I also have a SQL server running on windows 2000
server, and when I try logging someone in on that machine
it is almost instant.
What I did was intalled Active Directory, which turned on
DNS, then I added my users, and then on the second
server, I activated Active Directory, and it replicated.
At that point, login was nearly instant. In the morning,
when the client tested it, it was super slow. Any ideas?
Here is one thing, before I left, I was playing, and my
domain controleers are named DC01 and DC02, DC01 being
primary. Anyways, I got into DC02, and the DNS wouldnt
connect to DC01, so I right clicked, and went
to "delegate control" just to see what happened, I set
the control to DC01, and it grabbed the DC01 DNS server
right away, could that have caused a problem, if so, do I
just delgate control back to DC02, or can I try
depromoting DC02, then repromoting it back to a domain
controller, and letting it replicate?
Any ideas would be great, I'm getting tons of crap
because of this, so thanks go out to anyone that can help.
Oh yeah, all my clients are running on DHCP (XP
machines), and this is an isolated lab with no internet
conenction, but I need to move it to a live environment
like NOW.
