First of all, as a programmer I agree that “On Error Resume Next” is a last resort



Well as a LAN/WAN Admin of a World wide organization, I really can not support some of these other ideas.

Okay, so you took over the mess left by someone else. Hey I think many of us have done that. So now is the time for you to work on cleaning up the mess so that your job is easier in the long run and things run more smoothly.

I'm not much of an advocate of the Admin handling all the share mappings for users, but hey, maybe a few.

So even if this script is LONG, take a couple hours or a couple of days and modify it to a cleaner better managed script.

Create your Global Groups in your Domains and then place your users from those Domains into their Global Groups, then place your Global Groups into Universal Groups and apply your ACL to your resources with those Universal Groups. Then you'll be able to much more easily mange all of your resources, including drive mappings.

Taking a couple or a few hours of typing now will save you hours/days of trouble in the future.


ps. Don't nest groups too much or you may find it difficult to remove rights for someone further down the road as well. Maybe 2 to 3 nestings at most would be my recommendation.
