@homepath macro
|
if one has homedrive set as follows:
h: \\server\share\user.name
@homedrive returns h:
@homeshr returns \\server\share
@homedir returns user~1.nam
trying to map that, with:
use @homedrive @homeshr+"\"+@homedir
fails.
can you ruud add a macro for PATH.
the whole path and nothi...
well, something that would return the WHOLE PATH
\\server\share\user.name
and could be used unlike the current ones...
use @homedrive @homepath
thanks.

@homeshr and @homedir
Both return the same information for me.

It works OK for me:
Code:
use q: @HOMESHR+"\"+@HOMEDIR
Give me:
Code:
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK Q: \\hmiuklhdfl001\users$\rhowarth\MYDOCU~1
Microsoft Windows Network
Jooel, what error do you get when the mapping fails? It's not down to something as simple as @HOMEDRIVE being already mapped, is it?

Jooel, you're sure about that @homedrive returns h:
,@homeshr returns \\server\share and @homedir returns user~1.nam ? Like doc said, @homedir and @homeshr returns the same info for me aswell.
Richard, seems like it returns something like Jooel says for you, otherwise your macro-line should be something like use q: \\server\share\\\server\share, no?

Re: @homepath macro

well...
guess the issue is that kixtart uses some shortname thingie for the homedir macro.
anyways, adding a homepath macro would remove the need to add up macros for something that is a single field in the user account settings.

Re: @homepath macro

How does the entry look for you? I don't have to add up any macros to get that path but I do a hidden share for each user and not \\server\folder\share
mine is
\\server\share$

Re: @homepath macro

mine is:
\\server\share\user.name
or more accurately:
\\server\share\first.lastname

Re: @homepath macro

hmmm.. okay. Wonder if that F.L is part of the issue.
Have never seen it done that way.
If I get time this week I'll play with some variations and see what results I get.
May want to move this to General until we can confirm there is a real issue.

Re: @homepath macro

Doesn't really bother me, just that currently you're the only one that seems to think it is an issue.
I'll do some testing to see if I can confirm though. But must say that it seems to operate the same as it did back in 3.x days so not sure why after 5 years or so it seems to come up for you now.

Re: @homepath macro
|
because I have new domain and for the first time, the user account name is long and for the first time it has dot in it.
and again, I can accept that it works as it has always worked, but I need a new macro that will work properly so I can map the damn drive.
thus, this is in suggestions.

Re: @homepath macro

This code -
Code:
'KiX version: ' + @KiX ??
'Home Drive (HomeDrive macro): ' + @HomeDrive ?
'Long Home Folder (LongHomeDir macro): ' + @LongHomeDir ?
'Home Share (HomeShr macro): ' + @HomeShr ?
'Home Directory (HomeDir macro): ' + @HomeDir ?
Produced these results for me when I used a long folder name
like Jooel has done.
Code:
KiX version: 4.53 Release Candidate 1
Home Drive (HomeDrive macro): U:
Long Home Folder (LongHomeDir macro): This.is.a.reallybigtest.now
Home Share (HomeShr macro): \\MSEF001\USERS$
Home Directory (HomeDir macro): THISIS~1.NOW
So I can confirm along with Jooel that the Macro needs some
updating to produce the correct results for Long names.

Re: @homepath macro
|
where did you get that @longhomedir?
I've never ever thought to even look for one as I've always assumed homedrive related macros are named @home****
so, with it I can make it work.
but my suggestion still stands.
please ruud, add a macro that returns the full homePath

Re: @homepath macro

What this returns depends on what's stored in ADUC / AD.... if there's H:\ there, it will return H:\, if it's an UNC path (recommended), it will return that...

masken, what you are trying to say?
what "this" returns?
