Hi,
I am attempting to map different drives for different global-security groups in AD. Simple thing right? Well I created my own group called "NY Docket". Whenever I try to logon a user that is within this group, nothing happens. When I rem out my "Domain Admins" from the script, it also does nothing (just to be sure).
But if I change the "NY Docket" group to "Domain Admins" (which is a default created Active Directory group, not user created), it works just fine. What gives? Is there some property to the default AD group "Domain Admins" that my user created "NY Docket" doesn't have? Do I need to read some other aspect out of Active Directory to get this to work? My script is below. Thanks.
----------------------------------------------------
; DRIVE MAPPING SECTION BY GROUP
?color w+/n "Checking Groups..."
use * /delete /persistent:yes
If InGroup ("Domain Admins")
?color w+/n "Welcome Administrator. Mapping your drives..."
use w: "\\ny-san-01\prgm"
If InGroup ("NY Docket")
?color w+/n "Welcome to FCHS Docketing. Mapping Drives and Printers..."
use f: "\\docketing\d$"
use g: "\\docketing\d$"

you cannot get computer OU info from the ingroup function.
you can do:
code:
$Computers = GetObject($LDAPofOU)
For each $Item in $computers
$cn=$Item.name
$name=right($cn, len($cn)-3)
next
or wrap this in a function...

If you read my post, you'll se that this has nothing to do with computers at all, but with Active Directory users in a global security group.

yep.. you are right... nothing to do with computers.
ensure the users have permission to read the from the OU in which the group is located.

The aren't in any separate OU other than the default domain --> users container. This is Active Directory default. We haven't implemented any OUs.

from a cmd prompt, verify that the groups are accessable by:
net group "NY Docket" /domain
then execute kix32 /f to flush the cache

I am experiencing pretty much the same problem with trying call another script based on group membership. We use W2K pro and W2K severs only and are running ver 4.01.
I can add 15 users to a group and all will work but 2 or 3. I have cleared the cache and verified they are group members. I also logged off and on - many times ![[Frown]](images/icons/frown.gif)
I must also state that I am not real experienced with scripting.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Also try to qualify your group name with like:
InGroup("domain\group1")
Does this make a difference.
