I've been trying to map drives based on Active Directory group membership using the INGROUP command.

This is not a problem as long as the group is in the default AD container (Users).

However, I've created an OU called "Security Groups" and placed all the security groups in that container. When trying to map drives based on groups in this container the INGROUP command simply does not work.

What's the problem here? Do i belong on a short-bus?

Hello James and welcome to the board.

Please try the following.


IF INGROUP('YourDomainName\YourGroupName')
  ? 'Well.. what do you know, I am in the group'
ELSE
  ? 'Well.. what do you know, Im not in the group'
ENDIF


I'm thinking you may need to add the DOMAIN as part of the statement, and possibly use a /F switch for a fresh Token check.

How did you try it?

C:\SCRIPTS\KIX32.EXE TEST.KIX /F


IF INGROUP('YourDomainName\YourGroupName')
  ? 'Well.. what do you know, I am in the group' +@ERROR +' : '+@SERROR
ELSE
  ? 'Well.. what do you know, Im not in the group' +@ERROR +' : '+@SERROR
ENDIF


Please try the above code and let us know what was returned.

We have a James F. Spadaro here at work, was wondering if it was you or not.

I have a Security Group OU as well, and the above code works fine for me.

Also check which DC authenticated you, then connect to that AD Controller with Active Directory Users and Computers and VERIFY that the user/group is on that DC as well. Maybe some issue with replication.
