I would like to be able to use distribution groups or even OU's, to make logon mapping decisions to be sure to be free from having NTFS permissions tied to my logon groups. They restrict my freedom in moving things around.

Is there some way in KIX I can detect distribution group membership? Failing that, is there an easy way to detect OU membership?

Thanks, James

P.S. Thanks for the replies, bu I would like to ensure that NTFS permissions are not assingned to my logon groups mistakenly, and I would like to keep my kixtart logon script because it does many other things, like logging key information. If distribution lists could be used, that would be great. If I could use OU's and could check them with some simple and fast code that would be OK too,

I run my logon script based on sub-scripts driven by domain/OU membership.

See http://home.comcast.net/~habullock/logon_script_architecture.htm for some ideas. The (How-The-OU-Stuff-Works) link may be what you want.

Just because you can tie NTFS security to security groups doesn't mean you have to. You could also deploy GPO logon scripts instead of legacy scripts.
