I am looking for more detail on how @macros that return user account related data actually work. I just tested a script that only printed @homedrive. A network trace (netmon) showed that 226 frames were recorded. Frame 42 seems to contain ALL the data from the user account profile (Fullname, logon script, homedrive, homedirectory).This leads me to ask:
1)If one user account related macro is called, are all users related macros populated or capable of being used without a call back to the network? A trace seems to support that this is the case.
2) The trace also seems to indicate that data relating to global group membership is also brought back. Why is this?
3) From a discussion perspective, how best should these macros be popluated? I know that my test on a slow link seems to indicate that Kixtart 3.62 is faster than rc3 in populating network related @macros.
4)If a call to popluate one macro return data for more than it self, can we get a list of those that are grouped together?
