futureline futureline Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-12-12 Posts: 10	How can I find out in what group a user is located. What I want to set is a variable $group and set it with the name of the group the user is in so I get $group=Domain Users Can someone provide me a sample code on how to do this.

Hi

Here is a script I use for mapping drives based on group membership. It works in conjunction with an .ini file and should give you some indiciation of how this variable works.

Script;
Code:

 

For Each $group in Split(ReadProfileString(@scriptdir+'\groups.ini','',''),Chr(10))	
If $group AND InGroup($group)   		
For Each $drive In Split(ReadProfileString(@scriptdir+'\groups.ini',$group,''),Chr(10))			
If $drive                                
$resource=readprofilestring(@scriptdir+'\groups.ini',$group,$drive)				
$rc=execute('$$resource='+$resource)				
Use $drive+':' /delete /persistent				
Use $drive+':' $resource				
;Use $drive+':' ReadProfileString(@scriptdir+'\groups.ini',$group,$drive)			
EndIf		
Next	
EndIf
Next

.INI File;

Code:

 

[HAP Abingdon]
I= \\hpsfp04\read_wp
j= \\hpsnfs01\read_forms

[Domain Users]
I= \\server01\share
J= \\server02\share

futureline futureline Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-12-12 Posts: 10	Oke but what I need is the exact group name. Not a loop. Here is my code: ;********************************************************************* ; ; Connect GroupShares to Drives ; Function COnnectGroupDrives() ;**************************** ; GroupShares ;**************************** If Exist($FileLocation + "\shares.ini") If $group<>"" For $x = 1 to 10 $DriveDefinition = ReadProfileString($FileLocation + "\shares.ini", $group, "drive" + $x) If @ERROR = 0 If $DriveDefinition<>"" ConnectShare($DriveDefinition) EndIf Else Return EndIf Next EndIf EndIf EndFunction My Shares.ini [Domain Users] Drive1="P:, \\SERVER\Management$, Management" Drive2="Q:, \\SERVER\TechnicalData$, Quality" Thats why i need the exact group. The script must do a look a see that i am in "Domain Users" an give me the shares. Hope this helps to explain my problem. PS. The Code is done by someone else of a kix forum.I am just using it.

A login is going to be a member of more than one group. You need the loop so that you can check for file mappings for all the groups that the login is a member of. Call the ConnectGroupDrives() for each group that is returned.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Maybe the real question is related to the "Primary Group" and not general group membership. In which case this thread may shed some light. http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=107908 $Win32Admin.GetUserGroupFromRID($server,$UserInfo.primary_group_id) _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
