how can I find out which dc the user logged on to?

[aswdev]

I am developing an intranet site for a company with 9 offices across 1 domain with 9 DCs.

I need to find a way of determining which office the user is at whilst using the intranet so I can open word templates from their local domain controller, rather than creating lots of traffic across the WAN links

basically, I need the equivelant of the %logonserver% command in dos - but in asp.net c# (and hopefully without using the directoryservices namespace if poss!)

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Did you try using the LOGON_USER field sent by the browser?

Do users move around? If so, look at your IP Addressing. You may find that you can automatically select the correct location from their IP Address.

Else, you could make it a property of the user.
