Howdy! Howdy!
I have made two posts this week and have had some great help. However, I have one remaining issue. I am using Kixtart 2001 version 4.21...
We are running a pure WIN2000 environment with one Novell Server ( on its way out ). We have three situations where we make use of the common %username% variable in the current logon script. However, we are switching to KixTart for the logon script language as it is far superior to the .bat / .cmd options.
I have searched through the BB and the Manual but can not quite get this to work.
For example, there is a situation where everyone in the company has a mapped network drive to his/her own folder located in the Shared Folder "SCANS" located on SERVER01. This is really easy as we simply use code:
net use P: \\SERVER01\SCANS\%username%
and there you have it.
I am trying to do the same thing with KixTart. I looked specifically at the posting by 'brothercool' and he seems to be having the same problem that I am. I tried to make use of
code:
USE P: "\\SERVER01\Scans" + @USERID
but that does not want to work. I do not have a P:\ when I next logon. BTW - I am using a test user account for this in the production environment. I can manually map to that particular folder and can access the contents so it is not a permission / access issue.
Furthermore, once I remove "+ @USERID" I do indeed get a mapped network P:\ drive!!!
Does anyone see what I am doing incorrectly. If you want / need to entire logon script I will gladly post it.
The folder is named 'kixtart' which is the logon name for this user ( First Name = Kix and Last Name = Tart ).
Thanks for everyone's help. I am sorry that I am just not getting this!!!! Well, not yet!
Thanks all,
Cary
