OK.

I have a netlogon script to map networks drives (home and temp) :
@echo off
echo "Script de demarrage"
net use T: %LOGONSERVER%\temp /PERSISTENT:NO

If the users are authenticated by the BDC, the share would be mounted on 
the BDC and not on the PDC. The users data are on the PDC and are 
replicated after with rsync on the BDC. So the data should be on the PDC.



Then, if I put :
@echo off
echo "Script de demarrage"
net use T: \\PDC\temp /PERSISTENT:NO

Then, if the PDC becomes down, this script wouldn't work and i must be 
there to change the name of the server in the script.

So, what should I do ??

Thanks for the responses.
