Hello,

I am creating a new AD forest and domain in which I have two sites, a
primary and a secondary. I need somehow to place one set of users within the
AD so that in the event of failure of the first site they can login to the
second site and have a different login script applied through group policy.
Where should the users be placed so that I can do this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Mark.
 
You could build a domain with a dc and gc in each site and define your login
gpo at the site level. If users from site A lose their dc site B's dc would
be able to authenticate your users. Just make sure you also have multiple
dns servers. Easiest approach would be to have integrated dns on both dc's
 
Thanks Paul - I'll give it a whirl.
