Hi,

I've found strange things in Windows 2000 last time I scanned my network.
And I can't figure what's going on down there (in the abyss of Microsoft's
OS). So, please, if my question is stupid and has already be answered I
apologize ; if it's not so I'd appreciate a little help.

Here the facts : I've got several W2K Professional boxes which are classic
clients. These machines actually logon to a WNT4 BDC with no problem.
The point is that the W2K boxes keep sending SAM logon requests to the BDC.
And not just to their local BDC, but to all the others BDC across the WAN
(which disturbes me a lot).

Here is the sequence which repeats itself very often (every minute I think)
:
1)
W2K box --> Broadcast
Netlogon (SAM logon request from client)
2)
W2K box --> BDC
Netlogon (SAM logon request from client)
3)
BDC --> W2K box
SAM response when user is unknown

It seems like logon problems but all my users are connecting with no
problem. So what the hell is it ?
