Hi,

Hope some one can help a network/server noob understand how domains work in AD.

I am in an organisation with 2 AD servers in 2 different countries, e.g. US and UK, and they set up the US and UK domains respectively. the accounts are set up such that all employees in both countries have a US\user and UK\user account.

What is the difference if a UK user logon with US\user from a local UK computer, versus RDP (remote desktop) into a US server with US\user?

Thanks for your help.
