"Utility/Local Server" Option in DHCP
I've been able to work with Longhorn for a total of 10 minutes so this post may be useless. Is is possible to include a DHCP option to include a "utilityutilitiy server" or "local server" setting to be pushed out to the clients? The idea is that the workstation would be able to look at that server designated by that setting for various reasons. The example that comes first to my mind is the ability to assign a given top level GPO to have clients look at \\%localserv% \share or \\%utilserv%\share for various reasons; folder redirection for example. Instead of having to create an OU for each branch location, I would be able to create one at the top level and tell all below to redirect to their utility or local server. It would be especially useful to those of us who work for companies with many satellite locations.As I said, this may be already implemented and I just haven't been able to locate it or something that hasn't been thought of.

HI, You can implement such feature in DHCP. Create a new option as string in dhcpserver and set the value as \\%localserv% \share;\\%utilserv%\share in the client machine use DHCPRequestParam API to get the values from the DHCPServer and implement you own method to look for the files in the folders. -RamaSubbu SK DHCP|Microsoft
