SYMPTOMS
When multiple, replicated non-Windows Kerberos Key Distribution Centers (KDCs) exist, Windows 2000 will only use the first KDC as it is listed in the registry. In other words, Windows 2000 will always use one KDC for a Kerberos realm even if more than one KDC exists. This can cause server or network overloading.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
