Hi, my custemer (a retailer) uses 2008 server (domain controller) at their HQ and an XP PC (acting as a store controller) in their store along with cash registers (pos systems) running XP embedded. They are all within the same domain. The stores are
connected to the HQ via DSL lines. When the DSL line for the store goes off, pos systems are unable to reach the XP PC store controller -which they should- in order to carry online sales data for local reporting etc. This means if the domain controller is
not reachable, the pos systems are off-line even if there is no problem with the local network or the store controller PC. Is there a way to get around this? The only solution for me now is to detach whatever in the store from the domain, which is not the
solution my customer is looking for. Any help most appreciated.
