Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	It works OK for me: Code: use q: @HOMESHR+"\"+@HOMEDIR Give me: Code: Status Local Remote Network ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK Q: \\hmiuklhdfl001\users$\rhowarth\MYDOCU~1 Microsoft Windows Network Jooel, what error do you get when the mapping fails? It's not down to something as simple as @HOMEDRIVE being already mapped, is it?

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	Jooel, you're sure about that @homedrive returns h: ,@homeshr returns \\server\share and @homedir returns user~1.nam ? Like doc said, @homedir and @homeshr returns the same info for me aswell. Richard, seems like it returns something like Jooel says for you, otherwise your macro-line should be something like use q: \\server\share\\\server\share, no?

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well... guess the issue is that kixtart uses some shortname thingie for the homedir macro. anyways, adding a homepath macro would remove the need to add up macros for something that is a single field in the user account settings.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11624 Loc: CA	How does the entry look for you? I don't have to add up any macros to get that path but I do a hidden share for each user and not \\server\folder\share mine is \\server\share$

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11624 Loc: CA	hmmm.. okay. Wonder if that F.L is part of the issue. Have never seen it done that way. If I get time this week I'll play with some variations and see what results I get. May want to move this to General until we can confirm there is a real issue.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11624 Loc: CA	Doesn't really bother me, just that currently you're the only one that seems to think it is an issue. I'll do some testing to see if I can confirm though. But must say that it seems to operate the same as it did back in 3.x days so not sure why after 5 years or so it seems to come up for you now.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	because I have new domain and for the first time, the user account name is long and for the first time it has dot in it. and again, I can accept that it works as it has always worked, but I need a new macro that will work properly so I can map the damn drive. thus, this is in suggestions.

This code -

Code:


'KiX version: ' + @KiX ??
'Home Drive (HomeDrive macro): ' + @HomeDrive ?
'Long Home Folder (LongHomeDir macro): ' + @LongHomeDir ?
'Home Share (HomeShr macro): ' + @HomeShr ?
'Home Directory (HomeDir macro): ' + @HomeDir ?

Produced these results for me when I used a long folder name
like Jooel has done.

Code:

KiX version: 4.53 Release Candidate 1
 
Home Drive (HomeDrive macro): U:
Long Home Folder (LongHomeDir macro): This.is.a.reallybigtest.now
Home Share (HomeShr macro): \\MSEF001\USERS$
Home Directory (HomeDir macro): THISIS~1.NOW

So I can confirm along with Jooel that the Macro needs some
updating to produce the correct results for Long names.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	where did you get that @longhomedir? I've never ever thought to even look for one as I've always assumed homedrive related macros are named @home**** so, with it I can make it work. but my suggestion still stands. please ruud, add a macro that returns the full homePath

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	What this returns depends on what's stored in ADUC / AD.... if there's H:\ there, it will return H:\, if it's an UNC path (recommended), it will return that...
