I am hoping this will be an easy fix...
I have done many things in my company's logon script using:
Code:
If InGroup("Com_Div_GroupName")
?"Installing software..."
Else
?"User does not appear to be in group."
EndIf
I have recreated this one group twice, and removed/readded the members. I have also logged off/on the machines several times.
However, it still says "User does not appear to be in group." even though I KNOW I have added that user to the group. I tried renaming the function, renaming the group, etc... but it is not working for me.
My computers are on a Windows 2003 domain. I was able to get it to work succesfully on a test machine (user appeared to be in the group), but the users' (like four of them) own machines cannot seem to find them in the group.
I am pulling my hair out. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You guys are the best. It is now finding the users in the group as it should.
So what I did is, in the batch file that calls the KiX executable, I put the following:
Code:
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\NWSUTIL\kix32 /f
START /MIN %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\kixgui.exe
Now I guess I am calling kix32 twice, so should I modify the way I am encrypting my script using kixcrypt?
Here is the current syntax I use:
Code:
kixcrypt -e "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\NWSUTIL\kix32.exe %KIXCRYPTFILE%" kixgui.scr -m "Please wait..." -t C:\NWSUTIL
I guess this should be changed to:
Code:
kixcrypt -e "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\NWSUTIL\kix32.exe /f %KIXCRYPTFILE%" kixgui.scr -m "Please wait..." -t C:\NWSUTIL
Does this look right? I would like to include the /f in the encrypted executable if possible to avoid an extra call.
Thanks guys!

*n00b eaten*
Point taken. My main desire is to be able to rely on the script to accurately check members of groups. If the script is able to do this, then I would not need to flush the token cache.
So... I guess what I will have to do is, when a machine is found to not have the particular piece of software installed, I will manually flush the cache.
Or maybe I can put in a counter of some kind and flush the cache every Friday or something.
I cannot rely on flushing the cache when groups change, because groups by nature are ever changing.
Comments?
Thanks Les.

If you use Active Directory you could give fnInGroupAD() a go.

Chris,
How do you think the performance of the lookups would be compared to the existing If InGroup?
Thanks for the suggestion.
