Ok, here is the scenerio: I have 3 offices with 3 domain controllers in the same domain. I want to write a script that will allow a user in the remote office to login there and map all of his drives to the local server. Then if the user comes to another office, I want him to login with the same login but map to the shares on the local server in the new office. Here are the details:

Primary Domain Controller : NT1 Subnet: 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 Remote DC : Gonzales Subnet: 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 Name of login scripts that will be used: For Primary DC : perkins.bat For Remote DC : gonzales.bat

I'm trying to figure this out in vbs but someone told me to try kix first b/c it's a lot easier and more powerful than vbs. Does anyone out there know how to do this with kix?? Thanks in advance for your help..

Ryan

use the enumipinfo() command to determine which gateway is active on the lan adapter.

then run a select/case series to compare the results and match them to a specific server at that site.

then map your server using that server.

select
case $gateway=" 10. 0. 0. 1"
$localserver="NT1"
case $gateway=" 10. 0. 2. 1"
$localserver="gonzales"
case 1
? "can't figure out where I am. Quitting"
quit
endselect

use h: "\\$localserver\share1"
use m: "\\$localserver\share2"
use s: "\\$localserver\share3"

Whoops, one thing I forgot to mention is that if they are logging in to NT1, they will need to map drives to different servers and if the login to gonzales, they will only map to one server. Let me ask you this, is there a way in kix to call batch files, for example if it sees that the subnet is nt1, can it call nt1.bat and vice versa for gonzales. If so, can you give me an example.

Thanks again for the help

if a user is logging in the the 10.0.0 subnet you want to map X drives, and if logging in from the 10.0.2 subnet map Y drives... is this right?

yeap, exactly..Here it is in full:

User logs in to 10.0.0.1:
net use j: \\nt3\public
net use p: \\nt1\projects
net use i: \\nt2\shared

User logs in to 10.0.2.1

Net uses everything on one server, not multiple..

If you are using Kix4.0 i suggest using one of the 2 Subnet UDF's that are out there.


Subnet() By Bryce
IsInSubnet() By sealeopard

Another way, use @LSERVER value, which will tell you the domain server authenticating the client. Can be something such as:

code:

SELECT
CASE (@LSERVER = "\\PDC")
$localsvr = "PDC"
CASE (@LSERVER = "\\BDC1)
$localsvr = "BDC1
CASE (@LSERVER = "\\BDC2")
$localsvr = "BDC2
ENDSELECT

This especially true if running KiX 3.x, as 'enumipinfo' is only in KiX 4.x.

ryanro, instead of
case $gateway=" 10. 0. 0. 1"
try it with:
case instr("$gateway","10.0.0.1")
or just
case $gateway=" 10.0.0.1"

in the case 1 print out the gateway variable to see which is the correct syntax.
like:
case 1
"gateway is $gateway" get $
quit

ryanro,
Watch your spacing on the IP. The examples are all over the map.

Everyone is offering up suggestions, yet you don't say what you're using so how can anyone know what's going wrong. Try posting some code.
