marcus8 marcus8 Lurker Registered: 2004-06-11 Posts: 3	The Active Directory Services software client has been installed. I don't get the Site name when I use @Site with a Windows 98 Computer. Does @Site work with Windows 98?

I would think that no it does not work becuase a Windows 9x box can not become a member of any Domain. i.e if you had multiple Domains and a logon account on each, you could change the name of the Domain on the logon screen and it would log on. NT/2000/XP/2003 can be members of a Domain so they would show the @SITE macro.

marcus8 marcus8 Lurker Registered: 2004-06-11 Posts: 3	That makes sense. What I am really trying to do is: I have multiple sites (1 for each physical location) and I have created an ou for each location and created the users for each location in the appropriate ou. I want to run a script based on the ou that the user is in. The clients are mostly XP, 2000, and Win98. Any ideas?

If it is the user's OU you want, that would be easy enough and I suspect there are UDFs posted that would tell you. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

You could also use the InCOntainer() UDF to test if the user is in a particular container. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Code: Break On call 'C:\KiXScripts\UDF\TranslateName.udf' $DN = TranslateName (3, '', 3, '@LDomain\@userid', 1) 'OU = ' + Split($DN[0],',OU=')[1] ? 'Error = ' + $DN[1] ? 'ErrorText = ' + $DN[2] ? This assumes that OUs are nested at least two deep.
