Here's the story:
I have 4 folders on a server ("Server01")
The folders are shared with the following names:
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4

In the "Netlogon" folder I have a file called "folders.txt".
This file contains 4 lines...
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4

Now, I'm trying to map those folders by using the following testscript, using Bryces MapDrive-function and by reading the lines in folders.txt.

I have tested with some "printlines" and from that I know the script reads the lines in the .txt-file, but I don't get any mapped drives.

Here's the script:

code:

---

$srvr = @LSERVER
$quota_drive = $srvr + "\"
$q_log_path = $srvr + "\netlogon\Folders.txt"
Function MapDrive($drives,$resource)
	DIM $LastDrive,$drive	
	$drives = split($drives,",")
	$lastdrive = $drives[ubound($drives)]
	for each $drive in $drives
		use $drive: $resource
		if @error = 0
			$mapdrive = $drive
			exit(0)
		endif
		if $drive = $lastdrive
			$mapdrive = "N/A"
			exit(1)
		endif
	next
EndFunction
OPEN(5,$q_log_path,3)
  WHILE @ERROR = 0
  $X = ReadLine(5)
  $Mapped_drv = $quota_drive + $X
  MapDrive("g,h,i,j,","$Mapped_drv")
  LOOP
CLOSE(5)

---

Any thoughts?

I added a couple of lines to the "MapDrive" function and, voila!

Here's the code I used:

you are using the @logon server to read the text file from and since the contents will be available on all DCs (replication) it will read the file contents ok, but you also use @lserver to map the drives to. could it be that you are validated by a different DC (server02 ??) than the server where the shares are defined ?
do a "? @lserver" somewhere to find out.

There could also be another problem (permissions etc.) try running the script in debug mode and after the "use $drive: $resource" line in the function, evaluate @error / @serror

you just beat me by a minute or so there

Actually the whole thing is a part of a bigger script, so "Folders.txt" is in a folder that is shared with the name "log$", so there is no problem with permissions.
The reason for using @LSERVER is that I don't have any DC's.
The script is used in a school with only one NT4 PDC, and the school is so small that they won't need a BDC.

There seemed to be a problem in the line:
use $drive: $resource
so I removed the : and added this line:
$drive = $drive + ":"
After that it worked (more or less).

Thanks again!

use "$drive:" "$resource"

because of that very problem.

Frippe, are you able to recreate the problem and send us output with @error and @serror after the use statement ??
