Yes, that works.

Yes, everything seem to be alright there

Any idea what I need to look at?  Strange thing is this:

I have a script that builds my login batch files on the go and saves 
them in the netlogon directory.  If the PDC is up by itself, then it 
works fine.  When I bring the BDC up and login with the client, it saves 
the batch file to the BDC's netlogon directory.  But if I take down the 
PDC then the client cannot login to the BDC.

I actually got it to where the 'pdbedit -L' works while the Master is 
up, but if I take down the master then I get errors.

Thanks.
