I have 2003 Domain Controller on VMware on SAN and another Domain Controller
on the same network. My Domain Controller was down on SAN and it took users
15-20 minutes to authenticate to the network. Can someone me with this
where I need to make the changes. I would appreciate any . Infact I
need to put this question under Server but for some reason when I click uner
that I don't see the option to put in my question. If anyone has the link
please send that to me so that I can put the question there too.

Wow...this could be a time issue, location / availability of FSMO / GC
roles, cached credentials on the users' workstations, Name resolution
issues, etc.

Are you running AD integrated DNS? Do some basic troubleshooting from a
workstation when the other DC is unavailable to determine the exact cause of
the issue...ping IP, ping FQDN name, ping NetBIOS name, etc...
