#159220 - 2006-03-16 05:00 PM Using If In Group
Bill Bill Lurker Registered: 2006-03-16 Posts: 4 Loc: Nebraska	I am trying to figure out how to map a drive based on Group, I have directories from A-Z which represent users groups. I want to do the same as mapping a user to a drive but with a group. If In Group (GroupID) \\server1\groupID which would map based on groupid vice userid. Case InGroup("TNT\AG") If InGroup("TNT\AG") < However I want the AG to be something like @GroupId so that it will map AG to the AG dir on my file server. Use R: $server1 + "AG" /persistent Any help that can be provided would be GREATLY appreciated. _________________________ Bill K. "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work."

Bill Bill Lurker Registered: 2006-03-16 Posts: 4 Loc: Nebraska	Ok I am still a little confused, if I want a specific group to map to a directory I have multiple groups AA, AB, AC to map to AA, AB, AC directories on a file sever, below you have set to where I have to have seperate entries for each group, is that the case? I want to map multiple groups to different Dir's with a single variable. _________________________ Bill K. "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work."

At this point you can repeat the code Les gave you. Change $Whatever to the group name in each case. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Bill Bill Lurker Registered: 2006-03-16 Posts: 4 Loc: Nebraska	I have 82 groups. That would be troublesome to put that entire lot in a Kix script. Each on of those groups is asscoiated to a Directory on my file server. Group AA Dir AA, Group BB Dir BB and so on. _________________________ Bill K. "I have not failed.

How to create and use NTFS mounted drives in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889 You could use a .ini file to do the read group stuff but not much different than having it in the code If InGroup('MyDomain\AA) USE USE E: "\\SERVER\AA" EndIf If InGroup('MyDomain\BB) USE USE E: "\\SERVER\BB" EndIf and so on and so on. If you don't want to do it in script then at the machine map it as a persistent drive and don't deal with it in the script. The OS will map it each time it logs on for that user.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Actually you may want to Code: for $x=0 to ubound($DirArray) $Group = 'TNT\' + $dir If InGroup($Group) MapDrive ... $x=ubound($DirArray)+1 EndIf next This would keep the rest of the group checks from taking place once a match is found. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
