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

Cary,
Please - it is KiXtart!
Instead of -
code:
USE P: "\\SERVER01\Scans" + @USERID
You will want -
code:
USE P: "\\SERVER01\Scans\" + @USERID
Note: The extra backslash.
If it is an Admin share, you may need extra "$$" for it.
HTH,
Kent

Thank you to the both of you. Please excuse my typo. In the script it is as both of you suggested:
code:
USE P: "\\SERVER01\Scans\" + @USERID
I was going from memory here at home. Just for good measure I tried here on my test lab and am not able to get it to work.
However, I am able to get the H:\ drive to work. Simply replace "SCANS" from above with "USERS". Go figure.
This is really starting to frustrate me. ![[Confused]](images/icons/confused.gif)
Sorry!
Thanks again,
Cary

Thanks, Guys!
Okay. Here is the slightly abridged ( only changed the server names ) logon.kix file that I am running for two test user accounts in the production environment. I am really sorry that this is such a pain in the arse!
code:
$rc=SETCONSOLE("HIDE")
;Kixtart logon script
;created: 10/22/2003
;Author: Cary W. Shultz
USE * /DELETE
USE G: "\\server01\data\rating"
USE H: "\\server01\" + @USERID
USE I: "\\server01\apps"
USE J: "\\server01\apps\spdata"
USE L: "\\server01\data"
USE M: "\\server01\data\applied"
USE N: "\\server01\data\tam_data"
USE O: "\\server04\images"
USE P: "\\server04\scan"
USE Q: "\\server04\unrouted"
USE S: "\\server01\software"
IF @USERID = "ADMINISTRATOR" or @USERID = "Support"
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
ELSE
SELECT
CASE InGroup("GSG_Roanoke")
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
CASE InGroup("GSG_Blacksburg")
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
CASE InGroup("GSG_Richmond")
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
ENDSELECT
ENDIF
EXIT 0
Part of the problem right now is that the H:\ drive does not map ( will worry about that at a later time as this is going to be slightly different once the Novell Server is removed from production - we still need to move over the user data that corresponds to this ).
However, my immediate concern is the P:\. Please bear in mind that I have removed the "+ @USERID" part of that mapping.
Just for grins, here is how it was when I actually attempted it ( and the cause of my headache! ):
code:
$rc=SETCONSOLE("HIDE")
;Kixtart logon script
;created: 10/22/2003
;Author: Cary W. Shultz
USE * /DELETE
USE G: "\\server01\data\rating"
USE H: "\\server01\" + @USERID
USE I: "\\server01\apps"
USE J: "\\server01\apps\spdata"
USE L: "\\server01\data"
USE M: "\\server01\data\applied"
USE N: "\\server01\data\tam_data"
USE O: "\\server04\images"
USE P: "\\server04\scan\" + @USERID
USE Q: "\\server04\unrouted"
USE S: "\\server01\software"
IF @USERID = "ADMINISTRATOR" or @USERID = "SUPPORT"
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
ELSE
SELECT
CASE InGroup("GSG_Roanoke")
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
CASE InGroup("GSG_Blacksburg")
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
CASE InGroup("GSG_Richmond")
USE T: "\\w2kserver04\software"
ENDSELECT
ENDIF
EXIT 0
With this 'code' there was no P:\ mapped at all - as mentioned in my earlier post. With the code posted above this ( without the + @USERID ) the P:\ drive is mapped...
I will add the ?"ERROR @ERROR : @SERROR" line. I do thank all of you for your patience and assistance. Other than simple mapped network drives I do not do much with logon scripts so a lot of the concepts are a bit foreign to me.
Thanks again,
Cary
