Hi
I have a script which runs from within the context menu in AD. By that I mean that when a user is created this script goes off and sets a number of properties in their AD entry including home area, profile location etc. To initiate the scrip is a manual process i.e. right click on the user and select the menu item to run the script.
The script references a single server and a fairly flat directory structure serving over 1800 users. I want to reduce the load on this server and have moved 600 users' home areas on to an alternative server. I want to add another menu item into the context menu in AD which processes an alternative script which references the alternative server.
There are two options here, firstly, add a script and a set of menu items per group of user that I need to run this against or, secondly, alter the script to include another set of checks and outcomes. I'm also looking into this solution.
I just wondered if anybody knew how to create a context menu item in AD that references a script. I have been trawling the web all morning looking for an answer.
I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with a parent and child domain (which will be rationalised later this year when migrate to 2008) and the users are all in the child domain.
Thanks in advance.
