Login script and drive mappings

[Guest hrd2fnd]

Having no experiance with scripting I thought I would ask for some

help.

 

I have this login script that maps 2 groups to the same drive letter

depending on which group they are in. The problem is the users are in

both groups and none of the drive mappings will map.

 

I'm assuming that it is because of being in both groups that want the

same drive letter. Can anyone give me some advice?

 

Here is a pasting of the script.

 

Thank you in advance

Case "DEPT-xxxx_xxxx"

WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "W:"

wscript.sleep 300

WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "W:", "\\server1\xxx\xxx",True

Case "DEPT-yyyy_GRP"

WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "W:"

wscript.sleep 300

WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "W:", "\\server1\xxx\yyyy",True

You have to either use different drive letters, or code so that one group

has preference over the other. However, assuming you have pasted code from a

"Select Case" construction, that is what should happen. Only the first

matching "Case" clause executes. If you run the "Select Case" statement

repeatedly for each group the user is a member, that is a problem. You need

to exit the loop after the first group match is found, perhaps with an "Exit

For" statement.

 

The most likely problem is that the group name does not match exactly with

any of your Case clauses because of case (upper and lower case characters).

I would suggest using the LCase function with the group name, then using

only lower case group names, like "dept-xxxx_xxxx".

 

Otherwise, we may need to see more of your script (especially how you get

group memberships). Also, there is no need for the Sleep statements.

THe chaging of the drive letter worked.

 

Thank you,
