I am trying to create a login script that will map user drives based on the groups they belong to. I am using ifmember.exe from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. However, it appears to be working on my XP box, but it's causing my 2000 box to lock up. This leads me to believe there is an error in the script. The Groups I have are CGS, DATABOOK, PROGRAMS and ADMINISTRATORS.

The script:

net use /persistent:no

ifmember CGS

if not errorlevel 1 goto SkipU

NET USE /User:dc1\%username% U: \\dc1\HOME$\%USERNAME%

if errorlevel 1 set LS_Error=%LS_Error% U (Home)

:SkipU

ifmember CGS

if not errorlevel 1 goto SkipM

NET USE /User:dc1\%username% M: \\dc1\GROUP$\public

if errorlevel 1 set LS_Error=%LS_Error% U (Home)

:SkipM

ifmember Databook

if not errorlevel 1 goto SkipN

NET USE /User:dc1\%username% N: \\dc1\GROUP$\databook

if errorlevel 1 set LS_Error=%LS_Error% N (DATABOOK)

:SkipN

ifmember Programs

if not errorlevel 1 goto SkipO

NET USE /User:dc1\%username% O: \\dc1\Programs$

if errorlevel 1 set LS_Error=%LS_Error% O (PROGRAMS)

:SkipO

ifmember Administrators

if not errorlevel 1 goto SkipQ

NET USE /User:dc1\%username% Q: \\dc1\Software$\Apps

if errorlevel 1 set LS_Error=%LS_Error% Q (APPS)

I am not sure what the persistance tag means at the begining or the ir error the "if errorlevel 1 set LS_Error=%LS_Error%" line in the script means. So, if someone could explain those, I would appreciate it.

persistent tag simply allows you to re-establish the network connected shares for a user when they log in into your network.....this is set to either yes or no....and I think you know that part already....the errorlevel line allows a way for you to gracefully exist the script if your users don't meet the conditions set forth by which groups the user belongs to...if they do meet the conditon...it goes about allowing the user to gain access to set shares...

hmmmm...not sure...but you say that it locks up your W2K system....so you mean to say that you actually SEE the script execute when logging in....but it FREEZES at that point...so you see the login script dialog box forzen on your screen?....and that leave no alternative but to reboot?

...it happened to me when I migrated an NT 4.0 box to W2K and it caused the scripts to be unavailable...

You're not setting the variable for the LS_Error parameter

On your NET USE line you have "/User:dc1\%username%", you shouldn't need to specify the user since it will use the current account unless specified otherwise (I could see using it if you wanted to map with a different account name)

In the "ifmember Administrators" section you have "if not errorlevel 1 goto SkipQ" but don't have a "SkipQ" defined (guessing you just missed pasting it?)

Thanks guys, I got it working. It turns out it was freezing because the profile had someone got corrupt. I deleted the profile and it worked fine. I did change the script a little, don't use the one I pasted for reference. PM me if you need help and I will do my best.

    • -Drop the art style, it's cool but doesn't fit the franchise at all. -Make it a gritty single player game, like Halo -Include deathmatch and all that stuff, extraction can be a separate mode If they don't do that, it's dead on arrival IMO.
    • It's a shame because it's one of the best immersive sims ever made, even though it could have used a bit more monster variety IMO.
