I'm presuming either that he isn't running WINS, so all the domains don't show in the drop down list; or he doesn't want them to sign in using UPN.
That's all I came up with. Regards, Michael B.

Setup: Single forest ( Windows Server 2008 R2 ) 11 Child domains. ( Windows Server 2008 R2 ) Domain Functional Level : Windows Server 2008 R2 Users have been created in each child domain where the user resides. Each site has there local Child DC's + F & P Network is hub and spoke and the speeds are 1 GB per site. Now since almost 3 years since this has been setup there was no requirement for users to move between sites simply due to distance; but since a few weeks due to market situations people are travelling between sites a lot more. Requirement: ------------------ How best to allow them to use any machine anywhere in the forest they can login seamlessly with any special training. ( create a new universal group add users in the local domain to that group than add that UG to a local domain users group in all the other child domains ? ) Printing is not a problem as we have a virtual printing solution by which print jobs can be printed to any printer on any site and user needs to perform a biometric scan to print. cheers Joss ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
