Hi Jeremy
Thanks for the confirmation. The VM is a great idea.

Just one bit of confusuion:

When I create a new user, I create his homeDirectory in a share. I 
create the user on Server1. Can I at the same time, create his 
homeDirectory on Server2? Afterwards, how do I tell the clients to look 
at Server1 to authenticate and Server2 to get the data?

I understand, I have
Server1
[global]
[netlogon]
[sysvol]

Server2
[global]
[homes]
[everything]
[else]

How do I get the clients to distinguish between the two?

Cheers,
Steve
