I have one PDC and one BDC both with SP6A and I use win XP Professional client computers. Everything works fine and then all of a sudden clients start to give "Domain unavailable" message when users try to log on and I then have to reboot the BDC and then use Server Manager to Sync them both.

What is wrong??????. Plzzzz help

Is there anything in the event viewers? Where is the BDC in relation to the PDC network wise? You may have a network issue. Have you changed the network card in the BDC.

1st of all maybe there is a log that ties this down more

At a command prompt type on a variety of XP machines:
echo %logonserver%

Which domain controller are they connecting to for authentication - the BDC or the PDC? You can then work out which server might be causing a problem.

Could you have a WINS problem?
