We want to run a Kix logon script that will identify the subnet the user is loging on to and then map a drive depending on this.

Does anyone know how to do this.

Cheers

The only prerequisite that this has is that you have global groups defined that indicate where the user's home location is. Not my actual script, but it will give you an idea as to how I did it. Hopefully someone else will take this and show me the error of my ways.

Basically it gets the user's IP address, then uses a Select case to determine which location the user is at by the subnet, then associate the local common resources for the user (global shares, printers, common programs) and map to those instead of the same ones at the user's home location, no sense in tying up a WAN for something local is my thinking.

Then it determines the user's domain membership (if multiples exist) to determine the specific features of that domain's users drives, etc.

Next it looks at the location group that the user belongs to to determine maps specific to that group and assigns them.

Finally it goes as maps any common maps that may exist. In my case we're using the Trend Officescan product and anyone here that uses it knows that the Autopcc program is a pig over a WAN or RAS connection and running it locall can speed up the program substantially. I'll stop rambling now
Any comments would be greatly appreciated
