Very nice... thank you for your professionalism. I like you have come up with the method of copying the files locally and just making a sync step the first thing that I do... i suppose right now my main problem is not so much what I can and cannot due in bat but rather the time it takes to process the scripts. Is anyone aware of how the scripts are processed in bat vs kx? Is it by line or is the file read in then processed? Mainly right now I need to be able to check a clients IP address... store third octet in variable and then determine a group membership to map a printer... I am accomplishing this now but it is timely.

Thank you in advance for your support.
