Details

The server switcher is designed for laptop users in WAN environments that use DHCP. It can change the logon server based on the users IP address.

It's particularly useful if you run applications from local servers and want to map a drive to the nearest server using the %FILE_SERVER variable in a login script.

Some configuration is needed, so please look at the included readme.html file.

• Really nice, but not dymanic
• Excellent!
• You can push FILE_SEVER with DHCP option 85 with newest clients. DHCP opt 85 seems to work exactly as "Server Switcher" ... without the need for additional software.
