#122159 - 2004-07-04 02:28 PM How to map using USERID to hidden share
BartS BartS Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-04 Posts: 5	Hello, For each user on our network I have a userfolder which has the same name as the login name. These userfolders are shared with the $ sign behind the share name to make it hidden. But now I try to map this share to a drive name using kix use g: "\\ntserver02\users\@USERID$" But this does not work Using Win2k3 server, NT4 workstation, XP prof. Anyone can help me out ? Thanks BartS _________________________ Pls change my email AT will become @ and X should be dots

BartS BartS Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-04 Posts: 5	Hi Radimus, Thanks for your reply. I will try this. I use the code 'use g:.....' in a very simple kix login script but I am not aware that it is actually not kix but MCSE (?) question. If you have alternative for kix, please let me know. FYI, if I map to hidden share, it works. Only the use of the @USERID macro with a hidden share giving me problems when I use the 'use' command Cheers BartS _________________________ Pls change my email AT will become @ and X should be dots

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	It is both a KiX and MCSE question. Why do you have "USERS" sharename in the path? You cannot have two sharenames in the path! MCSE rule: NET USE [drive] \\server\share Kix rule on USE is the same. KiX rule (borrowing from the manual): Quote: Note: The characters @, %, or $ are normally used to indicate macros, environment strings, or variables. If you want to use these characters in a string, use @@, %%, or $$. So, to summarize... your code is wrong, Rad's example is right. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

BartS BartS Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-07-04 Posts: 5	Agree... but you should not have that \share\ in between the server name and the @USERID. I have CSE'd and tested that the SE was right. _________________________ Pls change my email AT will become @ and X should be dots
