Guys , trying to right some script , but not successful.
I want to check if a computer is in a security group and if so , run some reg changes. My code was like this

IF @WKSTA INGROUP("GROUPNAME") = 1
DONOTSOMETHING
ELSE
ENDIF

Can I check if computers are part of an AD group with KIX ?

Not with that syntax nor with the builtin Ingroup. Ingroup is for users only.

Please see ComputerInGroup - http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=195717#Post195717

crash course to udf's.
copy the whole udf (with description to the endfunction) in to your script file.
leave it like that. don't alter it.

then, where you tried to use the ingroup, use computeringroup() instead.

Ah , my bad....I was trying to edit the UDF , as I thought it was meant to be amended for my environment. I did as you said Lonkero , and it worked straight away !! This could save me alot of time

I presume InGroup() will do this during Computer Startup Scripts, when the local system account is the account running the script.

No, InGroup() only checks the user account, not the computer account.

Les,
You are totally right. I forgot about the EnumComputerIngroups() function I posted
 Code:
Dim $Groups, $Group
$Groups = EnumComputerIngroups(1)
For Each $Group in $Groups
	? $Group
Next
If Ascan($Groups,'MySecurityGroup') > -1
	? 'Yes'
Else
	? 'No'
EndIf

I remember putting in a feature request to Ruud to enhance InGroup() to include the computer account with an additional parm. With the various UDFs that can do it, it became low priority.
