Check multiple groups and map the drive? 3

[ColdFlame]

Hey there,

I'm trying to re-write my login scripts and amalgamate my 4 scripts into one login script. In doing so, there is tons of redundancy that I want to eliminate.

My main problem at the moment is trying to do something along these lines, but I'm not sure if it can be done in VBS...

If InGroup ("Accounting", "PayrollGroup", "HRGroup") Then
MapDrive "N:", "\\server\Acct"
End If

Is that right? I have seen, though now can't find, an example that did this:

If InGroup ("Accounting", "PayrollGroup", "HRGroup",0) Then
MapDrive "N:", "\\server\Acct"
End If

Essentially I want the script to check that particular user if they're in any of the aforementioned groups, and if so, then map that drive. I really don't want to have three if statements just to check those three groups.

TIA!

Jeremy

Cacls? Like a jackal? Hmm... I'll have a look and see if I can make this work. As usual, thanks for your help Brycspain. You must work similar hours to me (I'm on Mountain Time -07:00) as you seem to be ending your day on par with me, and starting at a similar time.

And yes, to answer your earlier question, I am using a GPO to deploy my scripts.

If you noticed my first reply post it was 5:07 so you made me have to work late =)

I'm actually on Central time and work 8 to 5.

Calcs isnt that bad actually. It's better for permissions then WMI.

I made an error and typed calcs instead of cacls which will make it difficult to look up on the web.

Here is a good tutorial here:

You can also use XCACLS.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Thanks Mark,

I'll look into xcacls to see what the differences are. On a side note and I didn't want to start a new post on this however, do you have that snippet handy that enumerates all computers in an entire domain? I used it once but can't find it again.

Also in your copy of The Admin Script Pack.
