Map drives and printer by group memberships not working correctly
|
Greetings
I'm new to scripts and don't understand why the example below maps different items depending on its location in the script.
Code:
Use s: /delete /persistent
Use p: /delete /persistent
Use o: /delete /persistent
If InGroup("all staff") >0
Use s: "\\myserver\staffarea"
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\myserver\staffprinter")
Endif
If InGroup("all pupils") >0
Use p: "\\myserver\pupilarea"
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\myserver\pupilprinter")
Endif
If InGroup("office") >0
Use o: "\\myserver\officearea"
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\myserver\officeprinter")
Endif
If a user belongs to both "all staff" & "office" group they don't get both sets of mappings.
Is this easy to correct?
Is there a way that when logging onto the pc I can process/check all the commands/errors that the script runs?
Many thanks
Craig

You can run the script in debug mode
Code:
kix32 <script> /d
this will let you run things 1 line at a time and see what is going on.

Bryce,
Did you post some funky stuff? My entire screen is messed up and the Reply, Quote, etc... options are gone.
CMAX,
Please use the code tags when posting code. I added them for you this time.
Some tips for your script:
- The >0 after each Ingroup is not needed.
- To be sure mapping the drive works you could delete it before creating it.
- You could put in some debug lines that show stuff on the screen. Like "User is in All Pupils group", "User is in Office group", etc...

Thanks for the quick reply.
Debug "on" is proving to be a big help.
Cheers

Thank you for the replies.
Strange, when I posted my reply to the 1st response there were no other posts yet.
My 1st script is coming along quite well thanks. I'm using the manual and website to help simplify my script. Would you be able to point me in the right direction for the any of the following:
(ver 4.53)
1) Can Enumgroup be used to simply display all the groups a user is a member of in Win2003 XP enviroment?
2) Can I use diferent arrays to group printer mappings in then use the array to map those printers to user with IF InGroup?
eg - $PupilMapping="\\server\printer1","\\server\printer2"
then - If InGroup("pupils") map all printers in $PupilMapping
Thank you for your support.

for #2, take a look at the "for each" command

That was because Bryce posted something that was interpreted as HTML by the board and that accidently messed up the thread. All is fixed by Richard H now.

Enumgroup working well - thank you
Code:
$PupilMappings = "\\server\share1","\\server\share2" For Each $Element in $PupilMappings Use o: $Element Use z: $Element
Is this the best method for grouping map drives to use in script when user is a member of group map all drive in the array?
Cheers
