BREAK OFF

; ASSIGN VARIABLES FOR HOME & WORKGROUP DIRECTORIES
$X="$$"
$S1="\\SOMLH2\"

; MAP HOME DIRECTORIES ACCORDING TO CLOSEST SERVER
$U=@USERID
$HOME=$S1+$U+$X

USE F: $HOME ; MAP PERSONAL SHARE, HOME DIRECTORY

; MAP WORKGROUP DRIVES

IF INGROUP("SOM\SOMDEAN_ISU")
USE G: $S1 + "ISU$"
ENDIF

The drives APPEAR to map, but when I try to access them in Windows Explorer, it generates the following error:
F:\ is not accessible. The network name cannot be found.

HOWEVER, if I simply map a drive to \\somlh2\sharename, it maps perfectly.

THANKS for any help any of you can provide!

We have look at your code.
Your code:

code:

---

BREAK OFF
; ASSIGN VARIABLES FOR HOME & WORKGROUP DIRECTORIES
$X="$$"
$S1="\\SOMLH2\"
; MAP HOME DIRECTORIES ACCORDING TO CLOSEST SERVER
$U=@USERID
$HOME=$S1+$U+$X
USE F: $HOME ; MAP PERSONAL SHARE, HOME DIRECTORY
; MAP WORKGROUP DRIVES
IF INGROUP("SOM\SOMDEAN_ISU")
   USE G: $S1+"ISU$"
ENDIF

---

• first use use X: /delete for unwanted network mappings.
  
• use
  

  code:

  ---

  
      IF (@error <> 0)
           ? "Warning "+@error+": "+@serror
      ENDIF
     

  ---

  
  to see possible mapping problems
  
• INGROUP("SOM\SOMDEAN_ISU") isn't correct.
  You may using ingroup("somdean_isu") or ingroup("\\som\somdean_isu").
  (see our example about the differences. som\somdean_isu will
  always return a ZERO value.
  
• use ingroup("group_name") <> 0. in this case it isn't
  important which group type you have defined.
  

In our example we are a server with domain server and
as user temp. We are mapping I + M drive.
Script for testing:

code:

---

cls
break on
use i: /delete
use m: /delete
; ASSIGN VARIABLES FOR HOME & WORKGROUP DIRECTORIES
  $x="$$"
  $s1="\\server\"
; MAP HOME DIRECTORIES ACCORDING TO CLOSEST SERVER
  $u="temp" ; @USERID
  $home=$s1+$u+$x
  ? " map: USE I: "+$home
  use i: $home    ; MAP PERSONAL SHARE, HOME DIRECTORY
  IF (@error <> 0)
    ? "Warning "+@error+": "+@serror
  ENDIF
; MAP WORKGROUP DRIVES
 
? " \\server\domain admins  "+INGROUP("\\server\Domain Admins")
? "   server\domain admins  "+INGROUP("server\Domain Admins")
? "          domain admins  "+INGROUP("Domain Admins")
IF (ingroup("\\server\Domain Admins") <> 0)
  ? " map: USE M: "+$s1+"temp$"
  use m: $s1+"temp$"                ; +"ISU$"
  IF (@error <> 0)
    ? "Warning "+@error+": "+@serror
  ENDIF
ELSE
   ? " no map: USE M: "+$s1+"temp$"
ENDIF
use list

---

Output to your screen can be:

code:

---

 map: USE I: \\server\temp$
 \\server\domain admins  1
   server\domain admins  0
          domain admins  1
 map: USE M: \\server\temp$
Current redirections :
 I:     -->  \\SERVER\temp$
 M:     -->  \\SERVER\temp$
 (null)  -->  \\SERVER\IPC$
End of list.

---

The output of the net use can be:

code:

---

New connections will not be remembered.
Status       Local     Remote                    Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK           I:        \\SERVER\temp$            Microsoft Windows Network
OK           M:        \\SERVER\temp$            Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.

2001/06/14 19:16:40 - Error occured during retrieval of remote network information Error : (0x83a/2106)

2001/06/14 19:16:40 - Failed to determine KXRPC server Error : The network path was not found. (0x35/53)

When I went to the command prompt and typed in net use, it shows:

Status Local Name Remote Name
Disconnected F \\SOMLH2\ISUTEST$

ALL of the Domain Controllers have the KXRPC service installed and are running; and ALL DC's also have the same version of all dll's, bat, kix and scr files (v. 3.63).

Do you have any other places for me to troubleshoot?

Thank you so much!
