Is the variable i can put into a Path that chooses the Local Domain controller. I.e i want to set a GPO that has a Path for the login script but dependant on which ou they are from picks there local DC.

%username% equivalent for a Domain controller

Thanks
 
define a sites in your AD infrastructure based on IP addressing meaning that in your situation there must be so many sites as many IP subnets you have.
Then, when user logs on, based on workstation IP address, AD determines where is CLOSEST DC can be found for this user based on AD sites. All the settings (including GP) user takes from the CLOSEST DC.

Hope it will helps you.
