Is there a command I could use that would let me find out if one user is a member of two global groups? Would that be a UDF or some sort of syntax like if member of group a and group b then map this drive?
Thanks

With EnumGroup() you can enumerate them.
Or maybe you want to know
If InGroup("Group1") And InGroup("Group2")
;Do Stuff
EndIf

Thanks guys. I just logged in again cause I realized I hadn't explained myself well. In our school, teachers are assigned a departmental drive based on group membership. So the math teachers S: drive is math$, while the science teachers get science$ and the English get English$, etc. In the past there have only been a few 'cross over' teachers who teach in two departments. So I have made a special global group for them. GG-SciandMath and GG-EnglishandHistory group for example. Those teachers would get a S drive for one department and a T drive for another. But now we're getting so many 'cross over' teachers, that making so many global groups seems crazy. So I'm looking for a way to say"
if you are in one department global group, map that drive.
if you are in two departments, figure out which departments they are and map a S and T drive
(I determine the department global groups but downtown also adds people to other global groups.)
Does what I'm saying make sense?
Jeremy

If InGroup("Group1")
Use "S:" "\\Server\Share1"
EndIf
If InGroup("Group2")
Use "T:" "\\Server\Share2"
EndIf

Thanks againt. That way though, I'm going to have to list a lot of permutations. For example
If ingroup ("math")...map the s drive
and
If ingroup ("science") and ("amth" map the s and t drive.
because the user may be in the math group and or the science group or another group.
I guess what I'm asking is, how could I code these instructions:
1. Look at the groups the user is a member of
2. Discover if the are a member of any of the following groups
-English, Math, Science, Modern Lanugages, Special Ed, Gym, Computers, Social Studies...
3. If they are a member of 1 of those groups, map a connection to that group's department files under the S: drive.
4. But if they are a member of 2 of those groups, map a connection to the first group's department files under the S drive and the next group's files under the T drive.

Like Les said there is no need for 'And':
If InGroup('Science','amth')
;do something
EndIf

Here is one way to do it. I've assumed that the group and share name are the same.
$asGroups=Split("English,Math,Science,Modern Lanugages,Special Ed,Gym,Computers,Social Studies",",")
$sDrivesToUse="S:T:"
$sServer="MyFileServer"
For $sGroup in $asGroups
If InGroup($sGroup)
If $sDrivesToUse=""
"ERROR: Sorry, not got any more drive letters left!"+@CRLF
Else
Use Left($sDrivesToUse,2) "\\"+$sServer+"\"+$sGroup
$sDrivesToUse=SubStr($sDrivesToUse,3)
EndIf
EndIf
Loop

Thanks Les, I did forget:
0 = InGroup checks for membership of one of the groups in the list (default).
1 = InGroup checks for membership of all of the groups in the list.
If InGroup('Science','amth',1)
;do something
EndIf
If you do omit the *mode* parm it will default to 0.

Thanks to everyone. I now have a great starting point. I'll let you know how it goes in a week or so.
