Vista - Creating logon scripts - the script will map different sets of drivesdepending on the security grp the user is in.

I'm trying to create a logon scripts that will map my users network
drives based on a certain security group that they are in:

I'm in the testing stage so far and below is what I have (I'm testing
against our IT security group right now). When I put this in place
its not mapping the drives listed -- could anyone say why and possibly
give me the change I need to do so that those three drives will map.

Here is my vbscript -- thanks for the help in advance:

Ryan

----------------

Const IT_GROUP = "cn=IT$ DEPARTMENT (R & W)"

Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & ADSysInfo.UserName)


strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf))

If InStr(strGroups, IT_Group) Then

wshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "I:"
wshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "Z:"
wshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "K:"

wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "I:", "\\netwincp\it$\"
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Z:", "\\netwincp\accounting\"
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "K:", "\\netwincp\kdrive\"

End If

news:e619bc0e-0fd5-4c06-a72f-9ae8f05334ae@xxxxxxI'd suggest displaying this value to see what it is:

wscript.echo strGroups
I'd suggest changing the above statement to the one just below to avoid
upper/lower case mismatches:

If InStr(1, strGroups, IT_Group, 1) Then

news:OftIlkqHKHA.4004@xxxxxxAlso, when you use the Join function, you also use the LCase function, which
makes all of the group Distinguished Names lower case. However, your
constant defines IT_Group as mixed case. The value assigned to IT_Group
should be all lower case. I think Al's optional third parameter passed to
the InStr function makes the comparison case insensitive. If that's the
case, then you can use mixed case.

strGroups = DELIMITOR & LCase(Join(..., DELIMITOR)) & DELIMITOR
And what about substring mismatches?
If InStr(1, strGroups, DELIMITOR & LCase(IT_Group) & DELIMITOR, 1) Then

Yes, in fact that is the function of this parameter. I had to look it up
too, as case issues are something I tend to avoid in other ways...

But one of the odd quirks here is that, while it follows what is normally
the second parameter, it requires an additional zeroth parameter, making
that final parameter the fourth one rather than the third. The first
parameter indicates the starting point in the string being searched.
LOL, that word again...
must be getting the munchies, as I read that as a case of mixed nuts...

news:unTfU70HKHA.4608@xxxxxxQuite right, Stefan. I had thought, however, that what was needed here was
an inkling of some of the things the OP could do to find out why his scripts
are not coming up with the results he expects. Giving a complete answer that
addresses all of the problems in my view tends to leave the OP our of the
process of examining his own understanding of the situation.
