Active Directory - Closest DC?

[Fixie]

In relation to this one : http://www.msfn.org/board/Networks-Internet-f21.html

Anyone know how to get "your local" DC out of Active Directory? From the CLI?

I've been asked now to get all Ninja and find the local DC for remote users - i.e. User from one state on the road in another state RAS to the Network connecting to HQ - must get Login script relating to their "Home" location.

I was never meant to script.

That link goes to this subforum.

Sounds like you are asking a programming question, so I'll move your topic over there.

Good luck!

OK, this could be a rather complex question, but I'm not sure what you mean. Logon scripts are assigned to a user account and the DC you hit depends largely on costing as it's defined in the domain.

But I think you mean something else entirely. Do you mean you want to determine where a user is logging in from (in the office or on the road) and from that perform some tasks? If so is there a particular IP subnet(s) associated with the VPN/RAS connections or are the clients only using a dial-up connection?
