Hi,
I have a couple of users who exist in a single domain that is split
accross two sites. The link between the two sites isn't great. Is it
possible to

a) have a different logon script for a user in each site ?
and/or b) have the profiles replicated and/or access a profile locally at
each site ?

The profiles are quite large so I was unsure as to their suitability for
dfs usage. But if there is another way I am open to ideas....

Thanks in advance

I Chris. I'm doing this with DFS (Distributed File System ) to replicate my
profile share as well our users share. I'm use the %LOGONSERVER% variable in
the profile path this means the profile is always loaded from local replica
at 100mbit local are network. Here is a few links to start with below, What
about login scripts you can assign them with in a Group Policy, a Group
Policy can be created and linked to a site. This means if user logs on in
site1 hi get policy from site1 object, next day hi may are at site2 and
receive there policy.
