I am having a problem getting my group drives to map. Unless The user logging on is a member of the Domain Admins group the @PRIMARYGROUP token is not being read. I am in a "very fresh" W2K environment (today actually), and all of my scripts ran successfully in the test network. actually all of my scripts still work except for this portion.
code:
 If @PRODUCTTYPE = 'Windows NT Server'
  GoTo end
EndIf
If @PRODUCTTYPE = 'Windows 2000 Server'
  GoTo end
EndIf

MD("\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_priv")
MD("\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_pub")

Use p: "\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_pub"
? @error
? @serror
Use g: "\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_priv"
Use m: "\\server\MS Office"   ; This is only being mapped because Access97 will not use a UNC path to access the "share.mdw"

Call %0\..\logon2.kix


:end

       

;---------end Group Drive mapping script
Any insight? This is all I need to do before celebrating a successful Deploy

KiXtart 4.2

did a minor cleanup.
If @PRODUCTTYPE <> 'Windows NT Server' and @PRODUCTTYPE <> 'Windows 2000 Server' 
	MD "\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_priv"
	MD "\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_pub"
	Use p: "\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_pub"
	? @error ? @serror
	Use g: "\\server\share\@PRIMARYGROUP\@PRIMARYGROUP_priv"
	Use m: "\\server\MS Office"
	; This is only being mapped because Access97 will not use a UNC path to access the "share.mdw"
	Call %0\..\logon2.kix:end
endif


anyway, how do you know that the primarygroup is not working?
how are you sure the problem is not elsewhere?

Oh Lonkero am I glad to hear from you.

To answer

I ran the script
code:
 messagebox("@PRIMARYGROUP","@USERID")
As a regular user and a domain admin. The domain admin had something in the box and the regular user did not

hmm...
could you try just something simple as:
@primarygroup ?
@error @serror ?


this as simple script a possible has nothing to do with other stuff so it would so definitely if the problem is there.

also, I must wonder.
primarygroup normally is domain-users, have you changed that?
if not, there is meaning in retrieving the info.

Yes I did change the primary group from Domain users to the respective primary group. but I also did it on the test network and it worked fine.

so, does it give with this simple way anything?
does it show the primarygroup name in enumgroups?
have you tried flushing cache?

Jack,

I assume you are using either NT/2000 or XP desktop when you run this script.

Try running it again with KIX32.EXE SCRIPTNAME.KIX /F

The /F switch is used to flush token cache and read directly from the Server.

Mornin' NTDOC

I changed my logon.bat to read
code:
 @echo off


rem  Logon script batch file

If NOT Exist c:\logon\wkix32.exe Xcopy \\cogswell\netlogon\wkix

32.exe c:\logon\ >nul
 GoTo kix

:kix
Start c:\logon\wkix32.exe /f %0\..\logon.kix /f /d
unfortunately to no avail.
Any other ideas?

Well WKIX32.EXE does not show console.

For testing purposes do this.

Copy KIX32.EXE to C:\LOGON then create a test file in the C:\LOGON folder with this code named TEST.KIX

Then in a DOS prompt windows C:\LOGON type this.

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

Hit enter and paste the results here for us.


? @FullName
? @PrimaryGroup
? 'Error Return is: '+@ERROR
? 'Error Return means: '+@SERROR

jacks73, try my EnumObject.exe located on my Perl Win32 Admin Utilities web page. It will provide you a text file of youe accounts and properties including primary group. It will also output all the domain groups and the group's SID. The last part of the SID is the RID which you can match up to "PrimaryGroup" property of the users.

Using this program will help determine if the properties of your domain are what you think they are thereby making it easiere to determine if KiXtart is reporting correctly or if KiXtart is misbehaving.

NTDOC,

When I run the code with a non- Domain Admin I get:
"

Error return is: 0
Error return means: The operation completed successfully."

As a Domain Admin I get:
"Jack Davis
IS
Error return is: 0
Error return means: The operation completed successfully"

Howard,

I downloaded your EnumObject.exe and couldn't get it to run. I think I might have the syntax wrong though it looked pretty straight forward. When I run

c:\EnumObject.exe Nails.com RMspare

I get this:
Win32::OLE(0.1502): GetObject() Not a Win32::OLE object at EnumObject.pl line 31

either as a user or admin.

I don't recall you mentioning the client OS. It sounds like a permission issue in AD (stating the obvious). Have you done anything to tweak the AD perms or is it 'out of the box' perms?

I'm all W2k clients. I noticed that if I create a new user everything works fine.
I'm in a newly upgraded AD environment from NT4

I assume then an in-place upgrade... How many users? Any chance you exceed to 5000 member limitation?

To test the perms theory, try elevating the perms on a user that fails. If that works, compare the perms on the upgraded user with the new user.
