hmm are you referring to the chapter on Making Happy Users? That chapter does not address the the scenario I am going for. The sample given is still using home drives that reside on the PDC and mounted on the BDC via NFS; which is not what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is, Site

That sort of makes sense. How are the scripts being accessed on the BDC? Are you running them from command line on each BDC? I hope that the LDAP referenced in your smb.conf is your 'master' LDAP server and that the changes to the master propogate to the 'slaves' (your BDC) and that
