Need help with multiple InGroup and drive mapping.
|
Hi All!
Ok i'm new so be gentle. I'm also new to Kixtart scripting.
I'm needing a script that will check for the users group(InGroup no problem) and map drive(s) accordingly. Right now I use the
Select
Case InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName")
Use K: /del
Use K: "\\Server\Folder"
Case 1
;No Drive K for you
EndSelect
Select
Case InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName2")
Use H: /del
Use H: "\\Server\Folder2"
Case 1
;No Drive H for you
EndSelect
Problem is the user may belong to both group K & H and need both drives mapped. This is the only way I have figured out to make it work. Is there a better way to check and map drives for my users that may need multiple drives mapped?
Thanks.
Richard H.

Search the board for elaborate solutions which use INI files for mapping, but depending on how your groups are structured one of these should fit:
Code:
Use K: /DELETE
Use H: /DELETE
Select
Case InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName")
Use K: "\\Server\Folder"
Case InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName2")
Use H: "\\Server\Folder2"
Case InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName3")
Use K: "\\Server\Folder"
Use H: "\\Server\Folder2"
Case "True"
; No drive mapping for this group.
EndSelect
OR
Code:
Use K: /DELETE
Use H: /DELETE
If InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName")
Use K: "\\Server\Folder"
EndIf
If InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName2")
Use H: "\\Server\Folder2"
EndIf
If InGroup("\\RDC\GroupName3")
Use K: "\\Server\Folder"
Use H: "\\Server\Folder2"
EndIf

Please read the KiXtart Manual with regards to the differences between IF-ELSE-ENDIF and SELECT-CASE-ENDSELECT.

Thanks sealeopard. Can someone explain why I'm not having any luck removing an existing mapped drive via my script?
I have switched servers and am trying to remap the users mapped drive(Drive K) to the new server. The Use K: /Del or /DELETE does not remove their presently mapped drive so the Use K: "\\server\folder" does not work. It works fine as long as they don't have a K drive mapped.
Thanks.

Try using the "/persistent" switch on the deletes.

Persistently mapped drives need to be deleted via the /PERSISTENT switch. It's a best practice to alwasy use the /PERSISTENT switch when deleting drive mappings. See the KiXtart Manual under USE.
Code:
USE U: /DELETE /PERSISTENT
