    I have 5 RDP Servers running Windows Server 2012.

    Our Domain Controller was temporarily taken off of the network for 5 minutes due to a bad switch.

    Even after it has been brought back online, when logging in users get the message:

    The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
    

    The only solution I know of is to reboot each of the RDP servers. I really do not want to do this, however have to resolve this immediately.

    Is there an alternate solution that does not involve rebooting?

      You really ought to deploy a second domain controller. What would happen if this lone DC crashed and you weren't able to recover it?
