#963 - 1999-11-11 04:04 PM INGROUP across Domains
Anonymous
Unregistered


We have a resource domain that houses NT and Win 95 clients and an Accounts domain, Resource Trusts the Accounts domain. I am trying to run Kix 3.61 and by using the INGROUP function to map drives based upon group membership in Global groups in the Accounts domain. I can't get it to work. I have no problems getting NT clients to work and I can get NT and win 95 clients to work on both Local and Global groups in the Resource domain but I CAN NOT get Win 95 clients to work with Global groups (or local with the RPC service) in the Accounts domain. Is there anything I'm missing for Kix to test for group membership across Trusted domains???
Syntax was tried both the following ways:
IF INGROUP ("Globaltest")=1
USE s: \\servername\sharename
endif
IF INGROUP ("Domain\Globaltest")=1
USE t: \\servername\sharename
endif

Any Hints ?

Not too sure about Lix & trusted domains, that's one of my next steps to try too!

Have you missed the " " around the share path in your script or was the posting a typo?

IF INGROUP ("Globaltest")
USE S: "\\servername\sharename"
endif
IF INGROUP ("Domain\Globaltest")
USE T: "\\servername\sharename"
endif

If your script is missing the quotes around the share path that MIGHT be why the mappings are not working.

Good luck

Thanks, and yes the "" was just a typo in the posting I have it correct in the Script.

John, did you ever get a fix for this problem? I have exactly the same domain arrangement as you with the same problems.

Sounds like a "one way trust" problem to me.
Have not got a clue how to resolve this one but I would be interested in reading any replies from others who may have solved this in the past.

There MUST be someone out there who has had this one before. Some of the readers of this board run fairly complex networks.

Here's hoping.

Here is an excerpt from the manual found in the INGROUP section. Maybe this will help:

IF INGROUP(@lserver + "\Administrators")
?"You are a member of the Administrators Group"
ENDIF

I haven't actually tested it but seems like it should work. Hopefully your @lserver is the PDC. If not, then just replace with:

IF INGROUP("\\" + servername + "\Developers")
?"You are a member of the Administrators Group"
ENDIF

This should work. Best of Luck and let us know if it works.

Have very similiar problem with the INGROUP function and Win 95 workstations except the users' that the function does not work for are on the same domain but different network segment then the PDC/BDC. When the user logs onto a workstation on the same segment as the PDC/BDC the ingroup function works properly.

Still looking for help or answers.

Thanks.

Sounds a lot like your problem is more of a name resolution problem. Can you "ping servername" from a machine in the segment that is having the problem? Does that site have it's own WINS server, and if so are WINS replications running OK?
