First of all, you should read KXRPC - Everything you wanted to know about KXRPC

Secondly, you shouldn't force the use of the PDC for the KiXtart RPC Service but just use the logon server. This will load-balance the logins.

Thirdly, the batch file will run from whichever DC will authenticate.

Fourthly, if the server FC11 is unavailable, then of course the drive mappings will fail. The server shouldn't be offlijne in the first place, especially if it's the PDC.

So, why are your servers offline all the time?

Setting the time will fail under Windows NT/2000/XP if the user doesn't have 'set system time' privilege. Better to install W32Time, the Windows Time Service.
