Hi there,

I've recently implemented kix32 V4.20 to allow drive mappings based on group memberships in our Windows 2000 domain. I'm having a problems with the 'ingroup' function not triggering on long global group names....

eg. one that works = "csfile"
eg. one that doesn't work = "this is a test group"

The if statement is structured as follows:

IF INGROUP("this is a test group")
RUN "net use Q: \\www\ftpsite"
ENDIF

Does anyone know why this isn't working for me?

You don't say what OS the client is. Wintendos do have limits on the length of group names. This is documented in the FAQ section.

what is the exact length of the group name that do not work? There is a limit of 20 characters for group name for NT clients.

See: http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000072

Thanks. I tested out the 20 character limitation and that's the problem. Several of the global groups that I was attempting to perform the drive mappings based on are more than 20 characters.... It's too bad that this limitation exists.... [Frown]
