    I have set up a domain controller for window server 2003 and I install and configure both DNS and DHCP, also I connect to a client computer with windows XP sp2 and creating two domain users accounts of the client computer FROM ACTIVE DIRECTORY USERS AND COMPUTERS . The domain clients can successful login to domain. BUT whenever the DC is shutdown or network cable is disconnected the domain user accounts can still login to domain instead of prompting" DOMAIN NOT REACHABLEâ€. Can anyone provide solution for that so whenever clients login to domain and find no network connection or DC is off then are prompted "domain not reachable" instead of still successful login to domain?.

    thanks

    Login caching is enabled by default. Have a read here: Cached credentials security in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows 2000

    By default, the last 10 logins are cached on the local system. To disable login caching:

    • Start the Registry Editor
    • Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ WinLogon
    • Find or create a key named CachedLogonsCount (String Value), and set the Value Data to 0
    • Exit the Registry Editor, and restart the computer

    This has to be done on the local computer(s), so you might want to add a domain policy
