Setting up one user for multiple locations in Active Directory.

by ez_1putt . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

This should be fairly simple but I can’t determine the best route.

Scenario:

I have a user that will be working at multiple locations (old location/new location)for 6 months or so. Eventually that user will work permanently from the new location.

What is the best practice to use to set up that user in the new location as far as Active Directory goes? Both locations have separate servers and separate email addresses. The login script determines home server by group membership. Both locations share a Global Address Book. I don’t want this person to appear twice in the address book if possible. (confusion,etc..)

Is it best to rename the user’s old location object name? Is it possible to get email from each user object to one mailbox? I use firstinitial.lastname for usernames.

Thanks for any suggestions
