Hey guys,

This is my first post on this forum, hope I am posting in the right section.

My question is:

Is it possible to extract numbers from %logonserver% and use those numbers to map network drives?

Situation is as follows:

I have roaming users on a school network. Depending on what school they are at, will depend on what network drives I would like mapped. I have decided that the best unique identifier would be their logonserver. Each school has a domain controller and a file/print server. The first few digits of the logonserver are the same digits on the FNP server.

So what I would like is something like the following:

%logonserver% = 1234DC01

I would like to use the 1234 in the example above to map drives:
use M: \\1234fnp01\data

If the logonserver has 5 digits e.g. 12345, I would like to use that also.


I want to avoid doing the following:
IF %logonserver% = 1234dc01
use m: \\1234fnp01\data
IF %logonserver% = 13456
use m: \\13456\data

Reason being is that they have close to 100 domain controllers and the script will not look very nice and probably take a while to run. I would like to just query the logonserver for the numbers I need and map drives based on that.

Hope I am clear in the description...

Thanks in advance...
