saystony saystony Lurker Registered: 2002-09-11 Posts: 4 Loc: Orlando, FL	I am new on writing scripts. I have a big project to do with my company. We want to use KixTart to bring in all our logon scripts. Our global groups profile use the same drive letter per say on different groups and some members can be in more than one group. My main concern is that if a member is a member of multiple group, how would I assign the next drive letter so that there is no conflict? I am checking all the post and I have not come around where anyone have posted on same drive letters for different groups. Can anyone point me to previous post? Thanks

Normally you use drive letters to map drives to specific shares. You can use either '*' to assign the next availabe drive letter automatically or you lay down a framework of driveletters and their associated shares. The second one is the recommended one since it'll standardize shares. [ 10.

I've seen it not working... [ 10. October 2002, 15:03: Message edited by: Lonkero ] _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Now there's a great way to cause confusion at the office. Give people diffent drive letters to the same share. Then when they reference drive letter by conversation or email or shortcut or links... I think you should rethink it and try to standardize on drive letters and maybe consolidate shares. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
