#195975 - 2009-09-21 03:16 PM logon script processing issues
metatron metatron Fresh Scripter Registered: 2008-05-06 Posts: 27 Loc: london	every group in our company has a mapping to a mailarch drive containing old pst etc. i use this to map to it Use N: "$ARCHIVE\Mailarchs\@USERID" if a user doesnt have a folder there it slows down the whole thing wihile kix looks for a non existant entry. how do i insert an IF to check if the user has a folder in this location before processing the use command? i have other drives mappings as well above and below so the script needs to carry on even if there is no N drive folder for the user. hope this makes sense thanks

If $ARCHIVE is missing or set to an invalid path then the stack can take quite a long time trying to resolve the bad name. If it is the archival system causing the problem then you are out of luck as the check for the folder will cause the same slow down as the folder mapping would anyway.

To get rid of the goto, negate the logic: Code: if not some_condition run some code endif general code gives you the same result and no gotos.
