I'm currently running kixtart for my login script. We have 200 servers on the network in 180 locations. Every location is connected via a frame relay connection.
On every location there is a BDC (Single Domain Model).

In Usermanager i've configured A homedirectory for every user, the homedirectory is on the nearest server. I want to make sure that is is not possible for a user to logon to the network if he is not on his own location.

I want to make a check in my login script to see if the DHCP server is the same as de Homeserver. I don't want to use de logonserver because I happens sometimes that a user is logged on via another location.

You can find Ip address of dhcp server in value "DhcpServer" of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xxxxxxx\Parameters\Tcpip

Where xxxxxx is the hardware name of your network interface.

Hope this helps.

I know that I can find the DHCP server setting there but then you need to know the name of your network adater.
ust of our computer are the same but there are a few different types.

Do you know a way to find out the name of your network adapter so that I can use it to find my DHCP server.

I don't know why you'd need the address of the DHCP server as long as it's in the same network as the logonserver and I haven't heard of any DHCP servers that assign IP's across routers...This plan might be fouled if you've got supernetted IP addresses or something funky like that, but it should work if you're using regular 255.255.255.0 subnet masks. (I'm about 75% done with it, I have it working except I haven't written the code to parse the IP address from a ping statement).
