Once again, I'll try to cover all the questions.

I've tried all combinations of "if ingroup()" testing and only added the "<>0" after the first failure.

The script I'm currently using no longer has the ingroup() function. It was removed till I get this working. Therefore, posting the script would be of no value. Let's forget about the script I'm using. Even the most elementary test script, such as "? ingroup("administrators")", fails. Replacing "administrators" with any other local or global group gives the same result of zero every time.

I don't know the difference between a resource domain and a logon domain (I've programmed for 3 decades but only recently became an administrator). Our network is quite simple, consisting of 7 servers and about 100 workstations scattered around the country.

At the moment the only NT box I can test on is my experimental server, which is also a BDC. I test scripts both directly from the command line, as I do on the Win98 machine, and as logon scripts (tied directly to my own accounts to avoid upsetting others).

The resource kit apparently has a tool which allows one to determine which groups a user is in. I've seen it refered to but have not yet used it myself. This is something I'll be looking at next week.

I agree that if another tool can determine groups Kixtart should be able to as well. Then again, I can't explain why Kixtart isn't doing so for me.

One thing I may not have mentioned previously, the @primarygroup macro does work for me, so clearly the group information is getting to Kixtart. Unfortunately, I can't use @primarygroup to do what I want.

Ok,

Let's look at your configuration a bit more...

I'll assume you have a WNT4.0 server and a WNT4.0 workstation. Wich Service Packs are installed?

No good old MSNET32.DLL? problem?

Fuse, you don't have a NT4 (or Win 2000) Workstation to test on?
(going for all possibilities here)

I currently don't have a spare NT workstation to test on (had to send it interstate to be used for other testing duties). I'll be setting up another one this week to replace it with. When ready it will have service pack 6a installed.

The servers, all of which are domain controllers, have service packs ranging from 4 to 6a. On of the servers is running Terminal Server (SP6a), the rest are straight NT4.

I don't have Win2000, other than on a test machine, and don't care to use it if I can help it. Things are complicated enough without throwing that can of bugs into the equation. (And I don't care to persue that discussion any further either.)

By the way, I don't understand the significance of the question "No good old MSNET32.DLL? problem?" I've certainly never had any problems related to that particular file, on either the servers or during software development.

If anyone is still reading this thread, here's the latest update....

Having tried everything else I could think of I decided to remove the Kix RPC service and delete all Kixtart files. I then rebooted all the servers and reinstalled KXRPC and replaced all the other files (having once again downloaded a fresh copy).

Guess what? The ingroup function is now working as it should, at least with a test script. I can't explain why but I'm sure glad the problem is fixed.

Thanks again to all of you who took the time and trouble to help.

Hi Fuse,

I'm glad you finally got it working. Maybe you had some old and new DLL files mixed up?

Oh well, the source of the problem isn't as important as the result, eh?
