#27199 - 2002-08-17 12:06 AM Mapping to PDC
Stealth Stealth Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-08-09 Posts: 48 Loc: Scotland	What im trying to achive is mapping a network connection to the PDC as follows If (InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") <> 0) Use I: @lserver+"\TRAINING" Use J: @lserver+"\TRAINDB" ; $nul=WriteValue($HKCUSMWCVEUSF,"Personal","I:\","REG_SZ") EndIf I want to connect the I drive to the BDC which works fine but the J drive I want to connect to the PDC I have tried substituting @lserver with @Domain01 computername = domain name01 with no joy can this be done? Thanks in advance...

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, searched the registry and no joy. not even on bdc registry. anyway, I would change your: If (InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") <> 0) to: If InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") which is the same but little bit shorter _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ah, so your pdc's are named with that syntax.. ok. then it should be only matter of: Use J: @domain+"01\TRAINDB" _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	When amapping a drive, the use statement need a specific network address (IP address) and resource name (share). The domain name can not be resolved to a specific address. Therefore, you need to provide the name of the server. In an NT4 environment, I used to use NLTEST.exe from the resourcce kit to find a PDC in a domain. code: c:\data\scripts>nltest /dclist:dss_test Domain 'dss_test' is not an NT 5 domain. (Using NetServerEnum). List of DCs in Domain dss_test \\US194DC41 (PDC) \\US177SS40 The command completed successfully You can use Pipe() udf or redirect to a file and parse it to find the server name with the PDC role. {edit} my comments seem to have been off target.

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear Lonkero, We prefer the IF (InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") <> 0) notation. This format works for all kixtart releases. A possible partication in board golf tournaments isn't such a good idea. We doesn't play computer games. Only a little collection we have for our cousins. Only we are interesting in the ideas of it. Ideas which show what is really possible with a programming language. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear Stealth, Normally it isn't any problem to map a PDC share. As administrator you have mostly the rights to choose (temporary) share name and to implement selected name in your scripts. Please can you return a status update. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	yep, I know you prefer. anyway, I must insist on saying you do multiple checks and I would ask for you to show me kix version that does not support my way. so, lets examine: IF (InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") <> 0) your InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") returns true if true. adding InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") <> 0 does the same with double checking. it also accepts negative input which is bad. anyway, then having brackets (InGroup("DIV_TRAIN") <> 0 ) around that code copies the TRUE to TRUE which is third "conversion". so what should be: if person is in group turns in your preferred way to: if expression of different than zero expression from person is in group eh? should we run some speed tests too?

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear Lonkero, Search through the forums were you can see how much people specifies something like IF (InGroup("Div_Train") = 1). Of course you are right about your format, but we find our solution more clear. In the current release it is also possible to use the NOT operator, which gives another way of presenting such logical structure. Another benefit is: when you are using always the same structure you can easily search for them when a modification is necessary. Some BAT/script languages have the capability to use full and short keywords which can be very interesting, but mostly using those short keywords makes reading and maintaining scripts hard. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA
