I am trying to create a variable in a kix script so that if a user is located in a certain OU then they can have different addresses.

I can currently create a variable based on the primary group as shown in the following script.
Code:

  select
    case ingroup('!Tech Support Group')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'561.555.2450 Team
'+@CRLF
    case ingroup('!SystemsEngineeringGroup')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$UserPhone+' Direct
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'800.813.6415 Ext. '+$UserPhoneExt+'
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$adFax+' FAX
'+@CRLF
    case ingroup('!SalesInternationalGroup')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'+1.'+$UserPhone+' Direct
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'+1.561.555.2420 Team
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'+1.561.555.2499 FAX

'+@CRLF
    case ingroup('!SalesGroup')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$UserPhone+' Direct
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'800.813.6415 Ext. '+$UserPhoneExt+'
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'561.555.2499 FAX

'+@CRLF
    case 1 ; everyone else gets DID + FaxDID only
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$UserPhone+' Direct
'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$adFax+' FAX


'+@CRLF
  endselect

Does anyone know what I can do?

Hello and welcome to the board.

Please use the CODE TAGS when posting code so that your formatting remains. It makes it much easier to read your code.

Please check out this UDF and see if it's of any help.
TranslateName()

What version of KiXtart are you using?
@KIX should show you.

doc, I added code tags to the above post. the output in the preview looked ok, but the final display has been corrupted because the text includes HTML <br> tag. Do you know a way to have the tag come thourgh as text and not be interpreted by the browser?

Code:
 'A<br>'B

Code:

  select
    case ingroup('!Tech Support Group')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'561.555.2450 Team<br>'+@CRLF
    case ingroup('!SystemsEngineeringGroup')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$UserPhone+' Direct<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'800.813.6415 Ext. '+$UserPhoneExt+'<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$adFax+' FAX<br>'+@CRLF
    case ingroup('!SalesInternationalGroup')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'+1.'+$UserPhone+' Direct<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'+1.561.555.2420 Team<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'+1.561.555.2499 FAX</font><br><br></P>'+@CRLF
    case ingroup('!SalesGroup')
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$UserPhone+' Direct<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'800.813.6415 Ext. '+$UserPhoneExt+'<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+'561.555.2499 FAX</font><br><br></P>'+@CRLF
    case 1 ; everyone else gets DID + FaxDID only
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$UserPhone+' Direct<br>'+@CRLF
      $HTMLdata=$HTMLdata+$adFax+' FAX<br><br><br>'+@CRLF
  endselect

Why does the code appear correctly in my post but not in the original post?

There are sites to lookup those codes (dont' know them off the top of my head) or you could use PostPrep but I don't think it really matters that much.

The code as is gives the general idea. I don't think we're giving out Silver Platter code for this, at least not at the moment.

My concern is the code I posted was copied from the original. Why are the two displayed differently? At least for me the original post has execute the line breaks in the display.

You could try this, where $SubOU will give you the the OU for the user.

Code:

$OUName = TranslateName(2,@LServer,3,@LDomain + '\' + @UserID,1)
$SubOU = Split($OUName,',OU=')[1]

? 'OU for the user: ' + $SubOU
Get $x

Function TranslateName($InitType,$BindName,$LookupNameType,$LookupName,$ReturnNameType)
	Dim $NameTranslate

	$NameTranslate = CreateObject("NameTranslate")
	If @Error = 0
		$NameTranslate.Init($InitType,$BindName)
		If @Error = 0
			$NameTranslate.Set($LookupNameType,$LookupName)
			If @Error = 0
				$TranslateName = $NameTranslate.Get($ReturnNameType)
			EndIf
		EndIf
	EndIf
	Exit @Error
EndFunction


ps.
The code for TranslateNeme(), can be found in the UDF forum in a more complete (error checking version)

A short method, which I use quite a lot:
Code:
$oADInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
"User OU = '"+SubStr($oAdInfo.UserName,InStr($oADInfo.UserName,"OU="))+"'" ?
