Profiles based on Location

[Guest]

I work in the Academic Field. We are running all 2003 servers with AD. We
have one AD domain for all Faculty, Staff and Students.
Students are in there own OU as are the Faculty.
The Lab machines also sit in a Lab OU and then each in a separate OU based
on which lab they are in on campus. What we would like to do is have a
different logon script and profile pulled down dependant on which lab the
person is sitting in.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sure.

For the logon script.
You could have a system environment variable that identifies the particular
lab the computer is in.
The login script would contain if/then statements and call another script
based on the value of the custom env variable.

For the profile, you could use a similar approach.
You could set the users profile path to the following
%profilepath%\profiles\%username%
The workstation would have a system environment variable called
"ProfilePath"
Workstations in LABA would have profilepath=profileserverA
Workstations in LABB would have a profilepath=profileserverB
etc
When the user1 logs into a workstation in LABA
%profilepath% will resolve to profileserverA
The profile will then be retrieved from \\profileserverA\profiles\user1
