IŽd like to define say 5 drive letters from H: to L:.
If a user belongs to three groups, the appropriate shares should be mapped as H:, I:, J:.
The next user may belong to 5 groups, the he should get the appr. shares and all drive letters from H: to L:.
IŽd like to avoid having to assing dedicated drive letters every time a user is in a group.
Might sound weird by your help / hints are very much appreciated !
CHEERS !

Checkout InGroup in the KiXtart docs. If you need more help beyond that, please post more detail and a better example.

Hi Howard,
1st thanx for your quick reply.
We got a flat directory structure ( inhertiated it ) for groupe drives.
LIKE: ..... HR ..... MARKETING ..... SALES-NORTH ..... SALES-WEST etc.
Share & NTFS rights are down through groups. I IŽm lazy and want to avoid having to create a "IF INGROUP" statement for each individual user.
Say I reserve n drive letters for group drive mappings. For example IŽd reserve 6 drive letters ( max a user would need ). Is there a way to tell KIX if the user belongs to 3 groups he should get drive letters H, I, J. The next user only belongs to 2, so he should get H & I.
Or, can KIX assing drive letters automatically depending on the number of groups a user belongs to ?

Thanks Jens for picking up on this thread while I was otherwise engaged in actual work.
I agree with Jens, you are inviting confusion on the part of the user community because user1 could map I: to location #1 and user2 could map the I: to a different location. When these users communicate they no longer have a coomon understanding of what the drive letter represents.
