I think you are in Active Directory Domain.
In this case, if I'm right, I think the ingroup doesn't work.

Look for AD problems in the "search" section of this forum.

I can pipe group membership out to a text file with the whoami utility. Can someone suggest an easy was to parse a text file for a string? It's an ass backwards way of doing ingroup.. I'm just trying anything at this point.

There are other ResKit utils like IfMember you could look at. I believe they return an @error value.

IfMember Example
These lines of code illustrate the use of IfMember with IF ERRORLEVEL in a batch file:

ifmember Administrators

if not errorlevel 1 exit

REM the rest of this batch file will only be run if the user is a member of the Administrators group.

Using Kix 3.63 I had no luck. Changing my USE command syntax and using the 2001, Beta 3 version I've gotten it working the way I want. FYI - both versions did work with a domain dfs root mapping to a fake root user directory or group directory. Thanks for your help.
