Is there a way to set different a home directory into a different site.ie.
\\server\users\marc then when I am at another site using my roaming profile when I log in my home directory would be set to \\server1\users\marc.
In AD under profile tab I have a for profile path \\server\users\marc\profile
and also have a login bat file.
Home folder is set to connect Z: to \\server\users\marc.
The problem lies when I log into another site it is very slow by using \\server so I would like to use \\server1 instead. can this be made automatic. I have kept my profile directory small but it is slow. Our network is also replicated every night.
Help is much appreciate.
Thanks, MArc

One solution is to have a different user name. Other than that I can't see where you'd be able to do this other than the way you are.

Another consideration is the amount of info that is being dragged across your network. Everyone's desktop is the bog of it all. One of our users had 450MB plus on there DT loading from there home site and "complained" why is it slow. I said go home for the day.
