#118647 - 2004-04-27 10:08 AM redirect several start menus
Mark Mark Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-04-27 Posts: 9	I have a Win2K AD environment with roaming profiles and a re-directed start menu. Problem is there's only one start menu and several different configurations on machines [5 different configurations at the moment]. My users see all installed applications on thier start menu's, more and more of which don't work. I wondered if there were any way to assign a start menu to the groups of machines. I currently use Kix32 to attach printers, and the PC's are named by thier location (ie. R09-xx, R19-xx etc.). Thanks Mark

Perhaps a little odd, but you can place computers into GROUPS in an OU and I would guess then that you could do an IF InGroup('some group') DO SOME CODE EndIf Hmmm.... Okay I take that back. Don't think that will work as the InGroup is not designed for that. But using some ADSI code you could check for that and then based upon the return results you could then perform some other task in KiX. Edited by NTDOC (2004-04-27 10:28 AM)

I'm commonly asked, for example, to exclude rooms from internet access. I presume that this'll work as it's a deny which then takes precedence over any allow! Cool! I cobbled together [with help!] a script to assign printers to rooms... what i'm saying is I'm a noob I don't understand what your saying. Can you give me more detail pls? Thanks a lot Mark

Here is the Kixtart code Code: ; Set path to Shortcuts located on C: Drive $shortcutpath="c:\pc" $returncode=writevalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","shortcutpath","$shortcutpath","REG_SZ") _________________________ - R.
