My shot at this ... create a file and put it on the desktop of one of
the Win accounts within the domain. Log out. Pull plug on PDC. Log
back in. Theoretically the BDC should handle the domain log in and
that file should be on the desktop.

Disclaimer: I've never tried this! And I've had my share of Samba PDC
nightmares!
