Can't you just email out some detailed instructions telling them to log on via UPN when at satellite offices? Users do need to be trained on occasion...

The clients would have to type the following *domain\username* in that case.....i.e. in Win 7 what we were discussing internally is as they don't have to do that in there local domain i.e. where the user & computer have been created to start off with they login as follows username password that's all. so when they move around between domains that does not work as the machine in that local domain has been built to a specific domain and the default domain is pointing to the local domain on that site when the machine was built...as opposed to where the user has migrated from I hope I am making sense here.... :) cheers Joss On 27 June 2011 17:22, Michael B.
