    I'm just about to start work on a VBS logon script that will map printers and shares for my users on our network, I'm looking to install printers on computers based on the active directory OU that they are located and also by user group membership of my users. Im also looking to map drives based on user group membership.

    So I wondered before I started this how others accomplished this and the methods they used, maybe we could have a recourse sharing thread and post our scripts and that way we may help others working on their own scripts.

    I'll post mine later when I have got it ironed out and tested.

    Dont forget to use the code tags when posting your code in the forums

    this:
    [CODE]code goes here[/CODE]

    will look like this:

    Here is my first part, this will map 2 drives G: and H: for every user and four additional drives for two differnet usergroups "technicians" and "admin staff", now I'll add all other groups and the drives that they need to the script follwing the same format. I wont post the full script just parts of it. HTH

    That's a pretty handy script, SimonV. I have a quick question though. Do you not comment your scripts or, do you just comment your complex scripts?

    I ask because I've found that commenting my bash scripts makes it a lot easier to not only read them but to remember exactly why I did what I did a few months later.

    Impressive script, looks like it will save time messing around with batch files.

    Have you tested it? I tried to map drives and add printers with vbs but when the user logged on for the second it would throw a ‘drive letter in use’ error but I think the ‘On error’ part of the code you have added might get you around that problem. 8)

    After some testing and fine tuning my logon script is about complete, heres a copy:

    NOTE: The previous scripts will not work with users that are members of one usergroup (not including domain users), there is a workaround in this script that will rectify that.

    Has anyone got any use from this script BTW, I'll try and do a walkthrough at some point but my time is limited so it may take a while. :)

    Sorry for adding to a thread that is quite old, but.... I'd just like to thank you SimonV for sharing the script. I've been looking about today for solutions to my problems, and this looks like just the ticket.

    I'm actually looking forward to work next week so I can edit and implement this, so we can finally get rid of all those rubbish logon scripts we have at present.

    Thanks again, and rep quite rightly given.
