Cindi Cindi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-03 Posts: 5 Loc: Chesapeake Beach, Maryland	I have read the manual and I have read the other post here by Laura thinking it might help. It didn't Here's my script: CLS "Hello "+ @FULLNAME Chr(10) Chr(10) SETTIME "\\BSISRVE01" "You local systems time has been synchronized with the server." Chr(10) Chr(10) "Current time = " + @time Chr(10) USE "" /DELETE ;Delete current drive mappings USE H: \\titan\engineering USE M: \\BSISRVE01\m2mdata USE P: \\BSISRVE01\public USE S: \\titan\sales USE U: \\titan\disk1 USE Z: \\titan\%username% IF InGroup( “test” ) use F: \\bsisrve01\acct ENDIF USE LIST SLEEP 10 The thing works great! Except I have a group test* and I am a member of it; and the darn thing will not map that F: drive to save my life. Script is sitting on a W2k server and the client workstation is w2k pro. I sure could use some help.

Did you try it with the domain name included? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Darren_W Darren_W Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-10-10 Posts: 208 Loc: Bristol, England	Hi, Can you map it manually? Or If you run "net use F: \\bsisrve01\acct" does that work? _________________________ I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life.

Also, the SETTIME command requires at least "Power User" rights. However, it is recommended to use the windows Time Service to synchronize times, which is a requirement in a AD domain. code: USE H: '\\titan\engineering' is the correct way to map a drive. And please use @USERID instead of the environment variables as in code: USE Z: '\\titan'+@USERID ; verify that the function was successful ? 'Error '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR Please be aware that under Windows 9x the Z: drive is temporarily used to map the NETLOGON share and is thus unavailable for drive mappings during the login process (just in case you're still having Win9x around).

Cindi Cindi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-03 Posts: 5 Loc: Chesapeake Beach, Maryland	Without the quotes around the group name? No I haven't tried that. Will do that now. I have logged out and back in, that's how I am testing it. As far as flushing the cache I have the /f switch after the script command in my bat file. So I assume I am flushing the cache. Here's the batch file. \\bsisrve01\netlogon\Kix32 \\bsisrve01\netlogon\Script1 /f EXIT 0

Cindi Cindi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-03 Posts: 5 Loc: Chesapeake Beach, Maryland	Well it works without the quotes. I guess I only need the quotes if there are spaces in the text right? [ 03. July 2003, 16:00: Message edited by: Cindi ]

No, you do want ot use quotes all the time, otherwise you might develop bad scripting habits. Cleaned up script would look like this:

code:

CLS
cls
? 'Hello '+ @FULLNAME
SETTIME '\\BSISRVE01'
if @ERROR
  ? 'SETTIME: Error '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
else
  ? 'You local systems time has been synchronized with the server.'
endif
? 'Current time = ' + @time
;Delete current drive mappings
USE '*' /DELETE /PERSISTENT
USE H: '\\titan\engineering'
USE M: '\\BSISRVE01\m2mdata'
USE P: '\\BSISRVE01\public'
USE S: '\\titan\sales'
USE U: '\\titan\disk1'
USE Z: '\\titan\'+@USERID
IF InGroup('test')
  use F: '\\bsisrve01\acct'
ENDIF

USE LIST
? 'Press any key to continue'
get $key
exit 0

Corrected quotes. [Embarrassed]

Cindi Cindi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-03 Posts: 5 Loc: Chesapeake Beach, Maryland	Thanks for looking at the script! I have tried your script but it only maps the F drive nothing else. Also we have to do a lot of hand holding here so we don't want to have to make them hit any extra key. They might chip a nail or something. That's why I had the box closing automatically.

Cindi Cindi Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-07-03 Posts: 5 Loc: Chesapeake Beach, Maryland	Yes I noticed that our two 98 machines were not getting their z drives mapped. I know why that’s happening but don't really care since those machines are going bye bye at the end of July so for now I'll just map them locally.
