#169640 - 2006-10-20 01:12 AM Cannot Add printer connections
cabal10 cabal10 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-08-03 Posts: 13	I have a windows 2003 R2 server running Kix 2001. I Place wkix32 and loginscript.cmd in the netlogon dir. Under user properties profile-loginscript I enter in loginscript.cmd-->(start "LogonScript" /min /B wkix32 logonscript.kix /i) I am trying to map printers by group but it will not work. example: IF INGROUP ("OKIC5200-SERVICE1") ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\al-winslow\OKI-C5200N-SERVICE1") ENDIF For some strange reason it will not work. The drive mappings work fine, but they are not done by group. Does anyone have any ideas? Should I use the latest version of Kix??? Thanks in advance for your help.

cabal10 cabal10 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-08-03 Posts: 13	Thanks for the advice. Here is what I found. When I run the script with the addprinterconnection without using if ingroup it maps the printer just fine. Is there a problem with group names like this: OKIC5200-RECON ?? Thanks for you help..

cabal10 cabal10 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-08-03 Posts: 13	The groups are new they were just created. I have a windows 2003 R2 server. I inserted the new server into an existing W2K domain (did adprep). Don't think that should be an issue. I am not sure how to check the users group token cache??

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	token cache - under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KiXtart\ My tip is to simply do a gpresult and check the output if the groups really are there as well. second, is the files replicated ok everywere?

cabal10 cabal10 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-08-03 Posts: 13	Thank you for quick responses. I checked the token cache and it showed the correct groups. I also did a gpresult and that showed the user was in the correct groups. As I said it something group related, because it works without IF INGROUP?? I am stumped..

cabal10 cabal10 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-08-03 Posts: 13	Just tried that and no luck. I did add all my printers to the main login script withou the groups just to make sure they would map and they did. They all mapped. I don't get this, because I have always used kix scripts to map my printers by group and it always works. This is very puzzling to me...

Here is the code. PLease let me know if you see anything that would cause me a problem with the ADDPRINTERCONNECTION statements. The users are in there groups respective groups.

Code:

  
SETTIME "\\AL-WINSLOW"

USE Y: "\\AL-WINSLOW\SHARE"
USE S: /delete
USE S: "\\AL-WINSLOW\SHARE"

USE O: /delete
USE O: "\\AL-WINSLOW\HPSCAN"


; ************************END OF DRIVE MAPPING FOR ALL USERS***********************

; ************************DRIVE MAPPING FOR BUSINESS GROUPS************************


IF INGROUP ("WISETRACK")
use M: "\\VOORHEES-SERVER\PUBLIC"
use U: "\\SERVER_SOUTH\SHARE"
use K: "\\SERVER_NORTH\SHARE"
use L: "\\LAKEWOOD-SERVER\SHARE"
ENDIF


IF INGROUP ("HP4250-RECON")
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\AL-WINSLOW\HP-4250-RECON")
;SetDefaultPrinter ("\\AL-WINSLOW\HP-4250-RECON")
ENDIF

IF INGROUP ("OKIC5200-RECON")

ENDIF

IF INGROUP ("HP4345-ADMIN")

END IF

IF INGROUP ("OKIC5200-SERVICE1")

END IF

IF INGROUP ("OKIC5200-SERVICE2")

Here is an updated script with some comments
Hope this helps.

  Break Off

;NOTE: SETTIME (unless it's an application written by you) is an invalid 
;command.  For the old NT systems there was NET TIME 
;but even that - the user needs to be a local admin or the command would fail 
;On 2000/2003 Active Directory it is no longer used as they now use W32Time
