#159615 - 2006-03-22 02:58 PM Using Active Directory Security groups in a script
rhamersley rhamersley Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-11-09 Posts: 15 Loc: Fort Lauderdale, FL	I created a Active Directory security group called "AllKixInstallCallTracking" and added members to this group. When I run the script it bypasses this part of the script and does not run what is shown below. But if I take out the (If InGroup) the script that installs the call tracking software runs. Anyone else has experienced this?? If InGroup ("AllKixInstallCallTracking") ? "Installing Call Tracking Software" If NOT ReadValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RunOnce','cal2') ? "regvalue does not exist" ? sleep 5 SHELL '%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /i \\Fldavrep01\calltracking\PSCallRecordingSetup\PSCallTracking_Setup.msi /qb-' WriteValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RunOnce','cal2','1','REG_SZ') EndIf EndIf

rhamersley rhamersley Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-11-09 Posts: 15 Loc: Fort Lauderdale, FL	Should I run the flush token cache command on the first script name I have. I have one main script that calls a bunch of secondary scritps based on the IP address and so on. Also should I just open a dos prompt and execute the command??

rhamersley rhamersley Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-11-09 Posts: 15 Loc: Fort Lauderdale, FL	Did you mean delete registry entries in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\kixtart\tokencache\" All the entryies under token cache??? Yes I have put myself in the security group. If I comment the If Group statment out it works fine with the installation but once I take the semicolon out it bypasses it.

rhamersley rhamersley Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-11-09 Posts: 15 Loc: Fort Lauderdale, FL	I ran the kix32.exe /f command and still the security group does not work. What I tried so far I deleted the old AD security group and created a new one called KIXInstallCT and changed the following script to run the following, I also added myself into the KIXInstallCT Active Directory security group. Ran the script and to no avail it still does not run. But I take out the InGroup statement by adding a semicolon it runs. I kinda have to shrug my shoulders and go why why why. There is no reason for this not to run. color g+/n ? "Verifying Call Tracking Software is installed" If InGroup ("KIXInstallCT") ? "In group KIXInstallCT" sleep 5 If NOT ReadValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RunOnce','cal2') SHELL '%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /i \\Fldavrep01\calltracking\PSCallRecordingSetup\PSCallTracking_Setup.msi /qb-' WriteValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RunOnce','cal2','1','REG_SZ') EndIf EndIf

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	try running the shell part by itself to check if that line truly works. did it reply that you were in the group? Or, run NTDOC's script that does it all =) (Sorry Doc, didn't read it until now) Edited by ewook (2006-03-23 09:11 AM) _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it?
