Not mapping network drives
|
Hi everyone,
I've been using correct syntax for my script and it is running correctly, however the script is not mapping network drives. I'll post a copy of the script to see whether there's something wrong with it, but I don't think there is.
If I run from a cmd line, I can access each of these network drives through their path, so they are definitely pointing at the right place.
code:Thanks!use u: "\\hb2\STMusers\@userid$"
use i: "\\hb2\apps"
IF INGROUP("HEALTHLABEL")
use j: "\\hb2\stm\hlabel"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("TM1")
use r: "\\hb2\P&T\data\F&A\FS\F&A\TM1DATA"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("SMD")
use s: "\\hb2\stm\smd"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("CDTEST")
use g: "\\hb2\stm\scitech"
use q: "\\hb2\stm\netbip"
ENDIF
Ariella.

What OS is your client? Only W2K and XP can do deep mapping.
Add error checking to your script.
code:What is the result?use u: "\\hb2\STMusers\@userid$"
? "\\hb2\STMusers\@userid$ @error @Serror"
use i: "\\hb2\apps"
? "\\hb2\apps @error @Serror"
IF INGROUP("HEALTHLABEL")
use j: "\\hb2\stm\hlabel"
? "\\hb2\apps @error @Serror"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("TM1")
use r: "\\hb2\P&T\data\F&A\FS\F&A\TM1DATA"
"\\hb2\P&T\data\F&A\FS\F&A\TM1DATA @error @Serror"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("SMD")
use s: "\\hb2\stm\smd"
"\\hb2\stm\smd @error @Serror"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("CDTEST")
use g: "\\hb2\stm\scitech"
"\\hb2\stm\scitech @error @Serror"
use q: "\\hb2\stm\netbip"
ENDIF

Re: Not mapping network drives

I tried adding the errors and found the problem. I'm using Win2k, so no problem there.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Not mapping network drives

Hello,
I also seem to be having trouble with mapping drives. Please, It may be me do things wrong!
I am trying to map a drive, but getting the path to map to from a variable. Can this be done?
Here is a short script that indicates just what I am trying to do.
$Share = "Common"
$Path = "maff.gov.uk"
$server = "ITD001df"
USE T: \\ITD001df.maff.gov.uk\common ; This Works OK
USE y: \\$server.$path\$share ; This does not !
Thanks Duncan

Hi,
Try this:
$mappath="\\"+$server+"."+$path+"\"+$share
USE y: $mappath

Thanks Darren,
That worked great, I had tried something like that, I must have missed something!!!
Thanks again.

Re: Not mapping network drives

You're only problem, Duncan, was that you didn't use quotes:
Your code:
USE y: \\$server.$path\$share
should work if it is:
USE Y: "\\$server.$path\$share"
Of course:
USE Y: "\\"+$server+"."+$path+"\"+$share
also works (as Darren pointed out).
The interesting thing about KiXtart is it allows you to insert single-dimensional objects into your string declarations via label.
$a = "hi"
$b = "$a how are you?"
($b comes out as "hi how are you")
However, you cannot use arrays like that:
$a[0]="hi"
$b = "$a[0] how are you?"
does not work.
COM object methods do not execute inside quotes, either.

Re: Not mapping network drives

I'm confused (and maybe disoriented too). The first drive mapping does NOT work. The rest work great. What am I missing? The first map is to an NT server, the rest to Win2k servers. I can accomplish same at cmd line via net use... ...any ideas?

Re: Not mapping network drives

You didn't tell what @error and @serror returned. That information would be helpful when trying to determine the problem with the "M:" drive use statement.

Re: Not mapping network drives

Sorry Howard,
The M: drive mapping will not return a message at all, the rest yield a success message.
Thanks for brainstorming with me (all I was coming up with was a light drizzle).

Re: Not mapping network drives

Please include more of your code. If the simple line
code:doesn't print something larger than the USE statement is wrong.? "\\ntserver\HTFORGE @error @Serror"
Why are you using the Persistent switch?

Re: Not mapping network drives

I copied most of this stuff from a run-once script - the persistent switch doesn't make sense now (duh). I tried this with same results. Everything else works GREAT !

Re: Not mapping network drives

Execute just this. What happens.
code:? "Delete Existing Drive M:"
USE M: /DELETE /PERSISTENT
? "Delete M: @error @serror"
? "Map M:"
USE M: "\\ntserver\HTFORGE"
? "\\ntserver\HTFORGE @error @Serror"

Re: Not mapping network drives

It works great!
What happened? (sorry I'm a little slow)
Is it the /persistent switch on the use m: /delete command??
Please help me understand.
You've been a great help already

Re: Not mapping network drives

Does your original script now work?
I always use the PERSISTENT switch when performing a delete because I have seen where if a drive was mapped with the Persistent switch either via script or manually the DELETE failed. I do not yet understand why your text line did not print. Maybe the USE /delete failure somehow screwed up the new to lines?

Re: Not mapping network drives

Don't add :Yes to /Persisten in KiX
From batch or prompt:
Net use M: /Delete /Persisten:Yes
From KiX:
Use M: /Delete /Persistent

Re: Not mapping network drives

Hi,
Can someone answer this?
Is there any reason that I can get Kix to map a drive using FQDN under Windows 2000/NT/XP, but cannot for Windows 98.
I am trying to rewrite a logon script that works for all three OS.
USE T: "\\ITD001df.maff.gov.uk\common"
Thanks
Duncan

Re: Not mapping network drives

Windows 9x doesn't support mappings that way. It can only use NETBIOS names.

Re: Not mapping network drives

Do you have the AD client installed? If not, I wonder if it would make the difference.

Re: Not mapping network drives

LLigetfa,
No we don't have the AD client loaded. We are still using an NT4 domain, but I may try loading it, ready for AD which will take years at the rate we're going!!!!
Brian,
That was the conclusion that I had come to, however if you use the net use command, it works fine. (I was trying not to shell out of kix!)
Thanks for the help
