ifmember logon script?
Hello,
Years ago in Novell I remember doing an ifmember logon script - eg. ifmember of sales map shared drive to the sales share. I never got one to work using a batch file (not vb script) for Windows 2003. Is there an easy way of doing this so that whatever ifmember type command is used, the workstation will be able to run it without having a local copy? If the logon script batch file and ifmember.exe are in the same folder it
should be easy to do. When you call it, just specify the script's directory like this: %0\..\IfMember.exe Show quote "boe" <boe_d@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OowaH59kFHA.4000@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Hello, > > Years ago in Novell I remember doing an ifmember logon script - eg. > ifmember of sales map shared drive to the sales share. > > I never got one to work using a batch file (not vb script) for Windows > 2003.

some of their knowledge base articles and it's been around forever. It looks strange at first but it makes sense when you think about it. If you pass parameters to a batch file, you access them with %1, %2, etc. And the batch file itself is %0 (although it's not included with the other parameters when you use "%*"). Every directory has . and .. entries, these are handy references to itself and the parent directory. Explorer and most GUI apps hide them but DIR shows them. So if you specify "%0\.." you're referencing the parent directory of the batch file. Run this script, the output might help explain it (just don't save the batch file to the root of the drive): @Echo On Echo %%0: [%0] Dir %0 Dir %0\.. Dir %0\..\. Dir %0\..\..

can run a batch command from a workstation that references the server (e.g. -\\myserver) ifmember command. I'm sure it can be done, I just have to do some testing.

This will work, unless nested groups are being used. The 'Net.exe Group'
command only enumerates the group's direct members by name, but IfMember.exe enumerates all the SIDs in your access token.
