#132390 - 2005-01-13 06:54 PM Kixtart question problems
Joel2941 Joel2941 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-12-17 Posts: 12	Question #1: I'm using an NT4 Domain with a PDC and BDC I've gone ahead and installed KIX32.exe,Kx16.dll and kix32.dll in location \\winnt\system32\repl\import\Scripts the files also show up in the NETLOGON when I drill down in My Network Places. A couple of problems that I'm having is that when I login my drives do not map but when I drill down and double click on logon.bat which executes @ECHO OFF \\servername\netlogon\kix32.exe \\servername\netlogon\mmb.kix All my drives map to my locations with an error message that says cmd.exe was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to windows directory. Can get this one resolved. Question number 2 in my mmb.kix file I need to set code to be able to map to the individuals home drive. Here is the code that I'm using below where do I enter the code to map to my home drives. $group = "Windows Group 1" $drive = "F:" $path = "\\server\share" GOSUB "MAPDRIVE" $group = "Windows Group 2" $drive = "G" $path = "\\server\share" GOSUB "MAPDRIVE" $group = "Windows Group 3" $drive = "H:" $path = "\\server\share" GOSUB "MAPDRIVE" :MAPDRIVE IF LEN("$group") = 0 OR INGROUP("$group") = 1 IF EXIST("$drive\") = 1 USE $drive /DELETE IF @ERROR > 0 ? " Recieved Error(@error) when disconnecting $drive." ENDIF ENDIF USE $drive "$path" IF @ERROR = 0 ? " Successfully connected $drive to $path for group $group." ELSE ? " Error(@ERROR) trying to map $drive to $path for group $group." ENDIF ENDIF RETURN I will appreciate any help that is given to me thank you Joel

I think you are meaning the @homeshr macro $group = "domain users" $drive = "H:" $path = @homeshr GOSUB "MAPDRIVE" _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Second, never hard code the DC name cuz then you don't have the fault tolerance of two DCs. Third, did you setup replication to get NetLogon on both DCS? Fourth, F: and H: have a colon, but not G. Fifth, do not wrap vars in quotes. Sixth, please, PLEASE, P L E A S E, use the code tags to post. If @homeshr is not defined in the users' profile, you should be able to user @UserID in the path. _________________________ 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	XP clients do not need the DLLs. XP clients may need a GPO to wait on network... See Fast Logon Optimization. If you hard code the DC name and that DC is down, your script would not work. Do not wrap vars in quotes is not a question, it is a suggestion. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Joel2941 Joel2941 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-12-17 Posts: 12	Les Ok it appears that my replication is working through my PDC and BDC. Why is it that when one of my users login then they are mapped to all the drives that are in my mmb.kix file. What should I look for

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	In your first post you complain that they do NOT map, and now you complain that they DO? So, what exactly is your problem? Either they do or they don't... which is it? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Joel2941 Joel2941 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-12-17 Posts: 12	I'm laughing GREAT REPLY. Les, I have Global Groups that I assign to my user if I don't want one user to be mapped to a specific drive I remove the global group but it still maps the drive for them. Does this explain it Thank you

Joel2941 Joel2941 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-12-17 Posts: 12	I did and it all maps fine. The problem is that when I don't want all the drives to map to an individual that isn't assigned to that drive. So I remove him from the global group

Joel2941 Joel2941 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-12-17 Posts: 12	I've been reading and reading so I'm breaking down and asking another stupid question. Why is it that when I have 20 global groups on my PDC and bdc I assign 5 groups to one user then why does the user get 20 mapped drives? I've tried to access the drives that he's not authorized to get into and he's doesn't get in. How can I get his PC to only see the drives that his machine is assigned to

Oke, rewritten your code in your fisrt post.

First of all i removed all the gosub's and labels. I dont like them all that much

Taken all the variables and/or kix macro's outside the quotes, dont put them inside quotes

You could also use a select - case - endselect statement instead of the if - else - endif's or use a map drive UDF instead of the use somedrive: \\server\share stuff.
If everything works ok I would remove some error checking to make it a bit moer readable.

This code should do the trick:

Code:


If InGroup("Windows Group 1")

	;remove all drive mappings

	Use * / delete

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error("+ @error + ") when disconnecting all drives."

	Else

		?"Successfully removed all drive mappings."

	EndIf

	;map U: drive to users folder

	Use U: "\\server\share\" + @USERID

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when connecting drive U: to \\server\share\." + @USERID

	Else

		?"Successfully mapped drive U: to \\server\share\" + @USERID

	EndIf

	;map F: drive to some folder

	Use F: "\\server\share"

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when connecting drive F: to \\server\share."

	Else

		?"Successfully mapped drive F: to \\server\share."

	EndIf

EndIf



If InGroup("Windows Group 2")

	;remove all drive mappings

	Use * / delete

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when disconnecting all drives."

	Else

		?"Successfully removed all drive mappings."

	EndIf

	;map U: drive to users folder

	Use U: "\\server\share\" + @USERID

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when connecting drive U: to \\server\share\." + @USERID

	Else

		?"Successfully mapped drive U: to \\server\share\" + @USERID

	EndIf

	;map H: drive to some folder

	Use G: "\\server\share"

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when connecting drive G: to \\server\share."

	Else

		?"Successfully mapped drive G: to \\server\share."

	EndIf

EndIf



If InGroup("Windows Group 3")

	;remove all drive mappings

	Use * / delete

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when disconnecting all drives."

	Else

		?"Successfully removed all drive mappings."

	EndIf

	;map U: drive to users folder

	Use U: "\\server\share\" + @USERID

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when connecting drive U: to \\server\share\." + @USERID

	Else

		?"Successfully mapped drive U: to \\server\share\" + @USERID

	EndIf

	;map H: drive to some folder

	Use H: "\\server\share"

	If @ERROR <> 0

		? "Recieved Error(" + @error + ") when connecting drive H: to \\server\share."

	Else

		?"Successfully mapped drive H: to \\server\share."

	EndIf

EndIf

damn those typo's
