SYMPTOMS
The Logon Server Manager does not reset senior site information when processing multiple domains.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the in-memory cache object is recycled for each domain by its primary domain controller (PDC), and it is not able to configure the senior site on the backup domain controllers (BDCs).

The Logon Server Manager designates a senior site to update BDCs in cases where more than one site shares a logon point. The general logic for senior site election gives preference to site version, then to site code ASCII values on the sites. The Senior.lst file can be placed on the PDC of a domain to designate a specific senior site that can override that logic. However, when sites span multiple domains, the Senior.lst file cannot transmit the senior site information to the BDCs. The file is not able to configure a senior site for other domains.



WORKAROUND
If the Logon Service Manager is servicing more than one domain, the Senior.lst file must be added to all the domains. This can be done by adding the file to the PDC on each of the domains.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
