Thanks again!

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	The example in the header shows exactly how to enumerate the arrays. Since the header also shows which element contains what data, simply modify the example a bit.. Using the example, use the outer $X For/Next loop. Instead of an inner loop, you'd reference a specific element - the one containing the adapter name If InStr($Array[$X][0], 'VPN') 'This is the VPN adapter!' ? EndIf However, since the code explicitly avoids logical adapters and reports ONLY on physical adapters, this would be unnecessary, don'tcha think? $\:D$ Glenn PS - ALWAYS try the example code in the UDF headers using a simple little script - it's the best way to learn how to use the UDF and see how the data is returned. _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

aacajo aacajo Fresh Scripter Registered: 2009-02-13 Posts: 34 Loc: Canada	Ah good advice looking at the header...lol It makes so much more sense now! Duh... Now I've tested the UDF for the internal network and an external network. The physical adapter returns the following on 8. Internal: COMPUTERNAME;domain.com;domain.com External: COMPUTERNAME;;domain.com I can use the second value to check: If 2nd value(DNS Suffix) = domain.com check ip and map printers Else map network drives and exit. I'm looking at your UDF and I see the section where you set this value except they all seem to equal $_WorkArray[8] How would I pull the 2nd value out of that? Thanks for tutoring me on my way through this!

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	The header describes the data for element 8 as Code: Domain Info: Hostname;Connection;Primary;Search List , * This lists the hostname, the Connection-Specific DNS Domain, the Primary DNS Domain, and the domain-name search list. The first $_WorkArray[8]= line sets the hostname. The next reads a reg value and appends to $_WorkArray[8]. There's a third reference farther on that adds two more values to the list. This value can be complicated - I could have returned an array of arrays, but this often makes things too complicated.. instead, I chose to return a list that consists of values. You can use $DomainInfo=Split($WorkArray[8], ';') to create an array containing the hostname, connection, primary, and search values. Be aware that the last item - search - can contain multiple domain names, separated by spaces. This would generally not be used to determine domain location or membership. By using this command, you could reference the connection domain as $DomainInfo[1] The way things should work - if everything is properly configured in the network - is: Computer name is HOSTNAME.PRIMARY_DOMAIN (elements 0 & 2) - UNLESS "connection" is defined. If "Connection" is defined (usually due to two or more active NICs, including a VPN connection) the computer name is HOSTNAME.CONNECTION_DOMAIN when communicating through the specific connection. Thus, a computer could have multiple identities in a complex network. The last field - Search List - is used when the local computer tries to identify non-qualified hostnames.. for example, if you "PING THATHOST", it first appends the primary domain or connection-specific domain if appropriate to the outbound interface.. if there's no reply, it appends each of the domain names in the search list until it gets a reply or gives up. This illustrates why the data returns different values for internal and external in your example.. the external does not have a connection-specific domain defined, only a primary domain.

aacajo aacajo Fresh Scripter Registered: 2009-02-13 Posts: 34 Loc: Canada	Awesome this should work...so close I can taste it! Getting a comma return error with $DomainInfo=Split($_WorkArray[8]';') I added $DomainInfo=Split($_WorkArray[8],';') and I'm still getting the same error. Something I need to look at with syntax? This appears correct to me..

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	You can't split the array that's inside the function! I was pointing out how the function loads the array it returns and how you might reference it.. How are you calling the function? What is the local var name? That's what you need to split. Sorry that wasn't more clear. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

aacajo aacajo Fresh Scripter Registered: 2009-02-13 Posts: 34 Loc: Canada	How would I send the output of your function in to an array out side of the function? Like for the return values such as 0-19 in the list would be assigned to $array[0] through $array[19]?

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	The same way you would use any function, built-in or otherwise. $Result = Function(args) Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
