#68973 - 2002-08-09 06:00 PM Duplicate mapped drives
Sami Sami Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-09 Posts: 5 Loc: London	Hi All! I am using kix mainly for drive mapping and printers assignments but somehow some of my users get the drives duplicated more than once. I am using the following script: ; ; ~ Container login script for Sami ~ ; ; 25/06/2002 ; ;SETCONSOLE("hide") CLS USE * /DELETE use f: "\\ServerX\@userid$" ; mapping to users personal drive ; Departmental G Drive mappings IF InGroup("Accounts") RUN "net use g: \\ServerX\accounts" ENDIF IF InGroup("Acquisitions") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\acquisitions" ENDIF IF InGroup("Buildings") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\buildings" ENDIF IF InGroup("Construction") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\construction" ENDIF IF InGroup("HR") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\HR" ENDIF IF InGroup("IT") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\IT" ENDIF IF InGroup("Marketing") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\Marketing" ENDIF IF InGroup("Operations") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\operations" ENDIF IF InGroup("Managers") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\SnrMgt" ENDIF IF InGroup("Training") RUN "net use * \\ServerX\Training" ENDIF ; Public access I Drive mappings USE i: "\\ServerX\public" ; Additional Drive mappings for Accounts Dept IF InGroup("Accounts") RUN "net use t: \\Serversql\Server" ENDIF ; Group Specific Print Port Captures IF InGroup("Accounts4050") RUN "net use lpt2 \\ServerX\accounts4050" ENDIF IF InGroup("Accounts4000") RUN "net use lpt2 \\ServerX\accounts4000" ENDIF IF InGroup("AccountsHP4000") RUN "net use lpt2 \\ServerX\HP4000" ENDIF I would appreciate all the help Regards, Sami Benafia

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	sami, if you get rid of the net use calls I'll be happy. if all gets there twice, I have to ask how you call the script itself? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sami Sami Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-09 Posts: 5 Loc: London	I am going to change the net use and replace as you have suggested and see. The script is run from the network by using a batch file to look for the kix32.exe the line in the batch file are: \\serverY\NETLOGON\KixScript\Kix32.exe \\ServerY\NETLOGON\KixScript\Sami.kix. ------------------------------------------

The script somehow must be called twice if all the drive mappings (I guess without the G: and T: drives) ad double. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well... what I think is that there is possibilities. 1) your batch call's it twice 2) your batch call's it twice 3) ... if you could post your batch. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sami Sami Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-09 Posts: 5 Loc: London	Hi all I have change the script not to have net use but the persistant problem is in the script I use * to assign drive letter to the drives, but it doesn't do it. and I would like to know if there is a command not to delete the mapped drive done by the user on the local PC? Many thanks in advance Sami

I can only assume that you mean that sequential drive letters are getting the UNC (\\server\share) connection. Please list all the drive letters you see and what they get mapped to. On what OS does this happen? Have you copied a shortcut to these computers for the user to startup a common application? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Sami Sami Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-09 Posts: 5 Loc: London	What I mean is the line use /DELETE did not function at the begining so everytime the user logs on they get the same drive again and again with a different drive letter. eventually it stops as it runs out of letters. and this problem is happening mainly on Win 2000. No I don't have any shortcuts to these computers to start any apps but I have manually mapped certain users to certain drives and as the delete command is working now they loose all the previously mapped drives and I can't get the following to work Code IF InGroup("Accounts" use \\ServerX\Accounts ENDIF I hope I am making sense of all this Thanks Sami

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	sami, I think you would be better of assigning the driveletters. this way you don't need to delete users own mappings. doing explicit deletion and use on one driveletter is safest and easier for user too. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Sami, you should take total control of the user session during logon and have assigned drive letters to specific locations. See this post for an idea how you can more control the mapping process. Drive mapping checks _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Dave Stemp Dave Stemp Lurker Registered: 2002-10-17 Posts: 1 Loc: John Deere Welland	Is this by chance on Win2000 Active Directory? I am working through the same issue and have tracked it down (as told by my AD guru) to our carrying SID history from our old NT4 domain. Have not yet tackled the script rewrite yet, still examining the possibilities.
