Glenn,

Thanks for your response. I have gained knowledge about synchronously/asynchronous.

We are rethinking about assigning different mapped drives for different groups. We are looking to just assign everbody a "Z" drive and within the "Z" drive it has shortcut (or unc) to all the different shares of all the departments. Users will see all the shares but only be able to access shares that they have permission to.

Lets get back to your explanation of the printer "X". Here is my interpretation with sudeo below. Is this what you meant?

Printer1
if in group1, get printer, next
if in group2, get printer, next

printer2
if in group1, get printer, next
if in group2, get printer, next
TIA,
