Hi, having difficulties with the following script...

;Map HP12whse Printer
$SystemList = 'terminalserver','testserver','dbserver3','printserver',"
If AScan ($SystemList, @WKSTA)>=0
;Do nothing
Else
IF INGROUP("HP12whse")
If AddPrinterConnection ("\\printserver\HP12whse") = 0
? "Attach network printer \\printserver\HP12whse"
Endif
EndIf

Everything looks good but hangs up as soon as it hits "if ingroup".

Thanks.

Code:

;Map HP12whse Printer
$SystemList = 'terminalserver','testserver','dbserver3','printserver'	;<--- there was an extra ," at the end of this line
If AScan ($SystemList, @WKSTA) = -1					;<--- changed this line to check for ascan returning a -1, not in array, making the IF TRUE
	IF INGROUP("HP12whse")
		If AddPrinterConnection ("\\printserver\HP12whse") = 0
			? "Attach network printer \\printserver\HP12whse"
		Endif
	endif								;<--- you were missing an ENDIF
EndIf

Bryce, I would like to exclude the servers listed in the ascan from mapping the printers, any thoughts?

Thanks.

That's what I thought but then I added one of my servers and logged in to test and it mapped all printers.

It appears that the ascan is being ignored?

can't be.
it can't go over the ascan part and jump to inner if-endif.

Here's the code...

;Map HP12whse Printer
$SystemList= 'terminalserver','dbserver3','printserver','mainfileserver','SBCS'
AScan ($SystemList, @WKSTA) = -1
IF INGROUP("HP12WHSE")
If AddPrinterConnection ("\\printserver\HP12WHSE") = 0
? "Attach network printer \\printserver\HP12WHSE"
Endif
endif

The code would not accept another endif at the end.

you removed the if.
ascan is a function, it's not expression valuator.
IF IS.
put the if back there and it works fine.

I just can't understand...
one gets given perfect 100% foolproof code on silver platter and it must be screwed up.
just so that he can say he did something.

Sorry, my bad. As soon as I added the IF expression it worked perfectly. Thanks for noticing that in the code.
