logon at child domains

We upgraded our network to win 2000. one forest with a root and two child domains. root is connected to child domains over a VPN. each domain has one DC and is configured as a GC and DNS. Today we had a power outage at the location where our root domain is located. In theory there shouldn't be any problems at the child domains, but no one was able to logon. Any idea? What can done to avoid this in future? Many Thanks.
