Kixtart Script question

[abuthemagician]

In our network we use kixtart and every user gets 5 basic shared drives. What i would like to do is to exclude a certain group of users from those drives. Anyone know how to do that?

Here is a sample of how we do it right now:

; Basic drive mappings for All Users
use N: "\\Server\@userid"
use O: "\\Server\Bridger"
use S: "\\Server2\share"
use U: "\\Server2\software"
use z: "\\Server2\resources"

thanks in advance!

Sure, but you will want to get rid of KixStart and just use VBScript.

Here is a sample script that will do everything you ask and a lot more.

Enjoy

This example, we create a new group called Digest1 and placed certain users in this group and then had the following Kix script run

IF INGROUP("Digest1&quot
USE Q: "\\server1\THEDIGEST"
ENDIF

This example we used everybody who is in the domain users group and ran the following script

IF INGROUP("Domain Users&quot
USE S: "\\server1\Common$"
ENDIF

Hope this helps

Did you review the script I posted? It has a section for group memberships and mapping drives.

The section you want to modify is where you will see the "Case" statements.

VBScript is great and all, but kix is a lot easier to use in my oppinion. Anyway, my original question was how to exclude a group of users from the general mappings. We already have certain groups who get special mappings, but we would like top keep the script as clean as possible. Is there a command like "if not in group"??
