Hello, I have been looking all over, and I can't seem to find anything
close to what I need.  I am looking for a way to run a script that
executes something based on the Machine Account group membership.  So,
the logic would be something like:

if MACHINEACCOUNT is member of group "XP Machines"
run job.bat
else
run otherjob.bat

Sorry for my poor skills shown there!  I really don't know much about
scripting, and the little I can figure out can't get me what I need.
also, I would really prefer it to run in a batch file, because that is
how it is all set up already.

I really appreciate any help from anyone!  Thanks much!

Show quoteHide quoteTesting for computer group membership is just like for user group
membership. To do this in a batch file you need a third party tool. I
believe the IfMember utility is available on the Microsoft web site (it used
to be in the NT resource kit). There is also a product called KiXstart.

In VBScript you would bind to the computer and group objects, then use the
IsMember method of the group. For example:
==============
' Bind to computer object.
Set objComputer =
GetObject("LDAP://cn=TestComputer,ou=West,dc=MyDomain,dc=com")

' Bind to group object.
Set objGroup = GetObject("LDAP://cn=MyGroup,ou=West,dc=MyDomain,dc=com")

' Test for membership in the group.
If (objGroup.IsMember(objUser.AdsPath) = True) Then
    ' Do something.
End If
============
Usually the computer is the local computer, not a remote machine. For
example, this is often done in a logon script. To bind to the local computer
use:
===========
' Retrieve DN of local computer from ADSystemInfo object.
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & objSysInfo.ComputerName)
=========
To run another program from VBScript, you can use the Run method of the
Shell object. For example:
=========
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run("%comspec% /c c:\Scripts\job.bat", 0)
=========
I hope this helps.
