Win2K Pro workstation, Win2K AD servers.

Calling Kix as follows from batch file (as logon script):

kix script.kix

Script.kix reads like this:

use h: @homeshare

if ingroup("sharinfo-clients.isv.rsmt")
use o: "\\washington\clients"
endif

@homeshare line is ignored and I get the following error:

Script error : error in USE statement !
if ingroup("sharinfo-clients.isv.rsmt") = 1

If I take the use o: "\\washington\clients" statement out of the IF structure, I still get:

Script error : error in USE statement !
use o: "\\washington\clients"

I'm a newbie, but this seems simple. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Chaz

Might want to try @HOMESHR instead of @HOMESHARE

-Shawn

Second, That seems to have done the trick at least for the home directory mapping.

While I do a little more testing on the second part, riddle me this, can I use a one-line format for the IF statement, like:

if ingroup("sharinfo-clients.isv.rsmt") use o: "\\washington\clients" endif

Thanks for the confirmation.

I'm a little confused (or ignorant) about the RPC service and exactly what features require it. Here is the entire text of my script:
_____________________________________________
; @echo off
; There is a section for all of Rosemont and individual sections for each of
; the business groups. After the Rosemont section runs, user is tested for membership
; in each business group. If they are a member, that section is processed. If not, the
; script skips to the next business group. First business group commented.

Does anything here require the RPC service?

if ingroup("sharinfo-clients.isv.rsmt")
shell "%comspec% /e:1024 /c net use o: \\washington\clients"
endif

Say it aint so Not the Top Poster of the board using EXTERNAL commands over INTERNAL commands.

I have and do use the internal USE on Thousands of systems from 95abc/98/98se/ME/NT/2K/XP and none of them has ever given me a problem mapping drives.

Please reconsider Shawn... be a purist where you can. I think Les would agree also.

{just a small jab there Shawn... you can shell if you want}

haven't used the shelled net use since we (Bryce and cj were involved iirc) ridled the use of USE even for 'no-drive-letter-ipc$-mappings' (There is nothing left that ain't work with USE !)

sample (as used as udf in my admin scripts):

code:

---

...
				use "\\$Computer\$Share" /user:'$Domain\$User' /password:$Password
				if @error = 0 or @error = 1219
					exit(0)
				else
					exit(@error)
				endif
...

A UDF is a User Define Function, one of the new features of KiXtart 4.0 whereby one can define their own functions and use them just like any other bultin function, for example, if I wanted to create a function to add two numbers together, i would do this:

function add($n1,$n2)
$add = $n1+$n2
endfunction

place this anywhere in your script, then "call" it and bob's your uncle.

$answer = add(1,2)

-Shawn

uh ... yes , sorry !
fergot we are on the starters side (that much new forums lately )

However ,
net use works , we all know that ; Only thing is trapping errors s(h)elling out something , therefore I prefer intrinsic commands/functions were they are available and work ..

never mind

FYI: internal commands are running must faster. Each SHELL and RUN command
creates his own virtual dos environment which slows down your script speed.

We agree with NTDOC that internal USE command works great.
Possible problems with (NET) USE can be:
persistent drive or already used drive
By internal command your script can be aborted. A RUN or SHELL command doesn't
have influence on your script, but by using RUN or SHELL you doesn't have
the capability to use the @error/@serror capability.
