Getting the hang of it

Hi guys, I have trawled through the old posts relating to mapping Novell Netware drives and cannot seem to locate the information I require.

I have a kix script that maps two drives to an old netware server that allows users to transfer their private files from the netware server to the W2K server.

The mappings work fine in a W2000 and XP environment but do not work in a Win9x environment?

I am using the exact same syntax:

USE E: \\Server1\Sys
USE F: \\Server1\VOL2

Any ideas why it may not be working and what I can do or check to overcome the problem?

Thanks

Sorry I don't have NetWare anymore to test but I am fairly certain you are using the wrong nomenclature. If you drill down through My Network Places along the NDS route, you will see that it is not \\server\volume.

Why do you have to map NetWare drives in KiX anyway? Why not map them in NetWare? While I was migrating from NetWare, I just flipped the GINAs, using MSGina and let both scripts run. As I migrated each resource, I just removed the MAP statement from NetWare and added USE to my AD script.

It could also boil down to the logon/login order. What GINA are you using? If MSGina, NetWare is not yet authenticated.

Thanks Les, I will investigate what you have covered in your response.

Whilst on the topic of mapping, can you have a user who belongs to two groups and how do you script it?

Thanks again

Easy..
Code:

IF INGROUP('GROUPA')

 USE H: '\\SERVER\SHAREA'

ENDIF

IF INGROUP('GROUPB')

 USE I: '\\SERVER\SHAREB'

ENDIF

Using the IF..ENDIF structure in this fashion will check to see if the person is a member of both, neither, one or the other..

What if I wanted to say:

If ingroup (mkt1) and ingroup (mkt2)

p: "\server\share
q: "\server\share

endif

First off, you are missing the quotes. You can spec both gtroups in one function.
If InGroup('mkt1','mkt2')

This is explained in the manual.

Sorry that was not my syntax, I was just attempting to demonstrate what I was trying to do.

I will take a further look at the manual. Thanks

Is this syntax valid for a user who belongs to three groups?

IF INGROUP ("NW_MKT_PRIVATE", "NW_CONS_MKT_PRV", "NW_COMM_MKT_PRV",1) = 1

USE G: "\\Server1\Sys\@userid"
USE N: "\\nw-data-store1\@userid" ;map share to Users home folder
USE P: "\\nw-data-store1\nw_mkt_private" ;map share to nw-data-store for marketing users
USE R: "\\nw-data-store1\nw_cons_mkt_prv" ;map share to nw-data-store for marketing users
USE S: "\\nw-data-store1\nw_comm_mkt_prv" ;map share to nw-data-store for marketing users
USE U: "\\Server1\Vol2"

ENDIF

Thanks

Depends

You've set Mode to "1", which means that the results will only be true (1) if the login is a member of all three groups.

If you only want to check if the login is a member of at least one of the groups then Mode should be zero.

Other than that, it's fine.

Hi Richard. Thanks for that.

What would I do if I wanted to specify that the user must exist in three groups to get mappings?

Change the mode to 1 and specify the list of groups?

Your post will do exactly that, but reading into the groups and mappings I suspect that this might be closer to what you want:


; Mappings for all staff
MapDrive("G:","\\Server1\Sys\"+@userid)
MapDrive("N:","\\nw-data-store1\"+@userid) ;map share to Users home folder
MapDrive("U:","\\Server1\Vol2")
   
; Mappings for specific marketing groups.
If InGroup("NW_MKT_PRIVATE") MapDrive("P:","\\nw-data-store1\nw_mkt_private") EndIf
If InGroup("NW_CONS_MKT_PRV") MapDrive("R:","\\nw-data-store1\nw_cons_mkt_prv") EndIf
If InGroup("NW_COMM_MKT_PRV") MapDrive("S:","\\nw-data-store1\nw_comm_mkt_prv") EndIf
   
; Generic map drive function with error reporting.
Function MapDrive($d,$p)
   "Mapping drive "+$d+" to "+$p+"..."
   Use $d /delete /persistent
   Use $d $p
   If @ERROR
      " ***ERROR***"+@CRLF
      "   "+@ERROR+" / "+@SERROR+@CRLF
   Else
      " Ok."+@CRLF
   EndIf
EndFunction

Thanks Richard I will use this as the basis for future scripts. Much appreciated.
