Scenario :

We have x no. of clients, say 10 and y no. of domain, say 2.
- 5 of these 10 clients belong to domain A and 5 to domain B
- clients need to logon. starts their VPN before connecting to their
respective DC
- domain A and domain B are sometimes connected but not always
- domain A and domain B are in different forest but have forest trust

so when user logon, they see 3 options under their <logon to> list
- domain A
- domain B
- (local)

We want to have all 10 clients able to logon to their computer selecting
either domain A or B, whether they have network connection or not.

We do not want them to logon using the local admin account when there is
no network; we want them to still use their user account (i.e. their
cached accounts)to log on cos the user profiles are pre-configured already.

With domain A and B connected up, we managed to cached all the clients
to logon to both domain, but after a while, some of the clients run into
"unable to find domain controller issue".

What could be the problem?

No. of cached logons Registry key is set to 10.
