#125727 - 2004-08-27 09:31 AM naming a share
pong pong Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-08-27 Posts: 14 Loc: Zeist, The Netherlands	So, i'm new to this forum and a newbie on kiXtart, but i just love scripting! I wrote this script in kiXtart to connect homedir's and printers to users. Work all fine, but now i want to rename the homedir connection. When i connect to a homedir, it will have the name: "username on 'servername\sharename$' (N:) ". I don't want users to see the servername and sharename, but i want to name it "homedir" or something. Is that possible? PONG

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	no. it's stuff that lies under. like explorer synchronization and [censored]. been trying sometimes already to tweak so it would accept it but randomly explorer seems to reverse the naming. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

pong pong Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-08-27 Posts: 14 Loc: Zeist, The Netherlands	I tried label() and mapdrive() UDF. They both sometimes fail to label the share. Must be some way to fix it? Running the udf twice maybe?

pong pong Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-08-27 Posts: 14 Loc: Zeist, The Netherlands	i use a script to assign homedirectory's to users. In the script i use the label() and/or mapdrive() udf to rename the share to the homedir. Problem is that sometimes the udf will work, but randomly doesnt work. So, if i log on as a user, it might work. But if i log out and back on chance exist that the renaming did not work. And it's important for me that it works all the time, no matter how many times a user logs in or out. HELP!

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Are you sure you have not also assigned it as well in the user's profile? If you did, you could have a problem with syncronicity. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

pong pong Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-08-27 Posts: 14 Loc: Zeist, The Netherlands	I did not map the homedir in the users profiles, but could syncornicity still be a problem? If so, i might build in a delay or something?

pong pong Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-08-27 Posts: 14 Loc: Zeist, The Netherlands	Ok, So i build in a sleep, homedirectory's will be mapped after the computer has started up a bit more. Tested it on several computers, works better now. It doesnt happen that often any more.
