Code below keeps returning -1 :-( HELP!

I have also used @wksta and "@wksta" as second parameter and they fail as well ...

? @wksta returns correct workkstation name

-------------------
;connect to Soc Grad Lab Printer if computer is on Soc Grad OU
IF INGROUP ("CASCOMP")
? @wksta
$rc = InContainer("OU=ou_Labs, OU=SocGradLab_OU, DC=cas, DC=univ, DC=albany, CD=edu", "PFARRELLOFF")

select
case $rc[0]=1
IF AddPrinterConnection ("\\p2\soc_gr_ric4510") = 0
? "Connecting to the Ricoh 4510 in the Sociology Grad Lab"
ENDIF
case $rc[0]=2 ? "RC is 2"
case $rc[0]=0 ? "RC is 0"
case $rc[0]=-1 ? "RC is -1"
case $rc[0]=-2 ? "RC is -2"
case 1 ? "RC is Unknown"
endselect
ENDIF

------------------

FYI ..... -1 also means Invalid input for $NameType

I don't get why .. seems like fantastic input to me!!

AFAIK Howards UDF infers @UserID or @WkSta and does not support a second parm that way. That said, I modified it for my own use to support a third parm.

Borrowing from his liner notes:
$NameType (Required)
- String value
"Computer" or "User" are currently the only valid values

As my post says, I even tried a computer name directly "pfarrelloff" and it still doesn't work. :-( Any other thoughts?

Perhaps you missed that I edited my post and added to it.
"Computer" or "User" are currently the only valid values.

On further thought (and inspection) I see what you are saying ..

I put just "comptuer" as second parameter as I now see it is not the name of the comptuter that is needed, but an indication of what you are looking for (computer or user).

Sad thing is that now it returns "0", Object not found in container. It si there however.

Thoughts?

In other words, it should be:
$rc = InContainer("OU=ou_Labs, OU=SocGradLab_OU, DC=cas, DC=univ, DC=albany, DC=edu", "Computer")
