Hi all
I've scanned the various forums and this place seems my best bet - apologies
if it seems out of place!
I have a Win2k DC, a Win2003 DC, and a Win2003 Memb Server acting as
Exchange2003 box. All clients are Win2k SP4.
We have an outside company developing bespoke s/w for us, but they need
updates to come across in the login script from one directory on a server to
a directory locally on the client pc.
I thought I could write a batch file using Xcopy - but would this work?
Anybody know any examples I can look at? I thought I could use a date
switch, ie, if files locally are older than XYZ on our server - is that
possible? And can I create a group for the test users and do something along
the lines of 'If member of then..'

Sorry for the long post, any help would be Most appreciated!

Hi Chris,

Your question might be better asked in a vb group so you could get a nice
vbscript logon script that considers group membership + date/versions.

That said, I steal loads of script snippets from the "scripting guys" in the
scripting center at MS.com. Tor*geir Bakken has helped me many times with
vbs ideas, try using google to search for him.

Chris,

Minus the date requirement and focusing simply on group membership I might
go to Richard Mueller's web site at http://www.rlmueller.net for some free
..vbs logon scripts that do things based on group membership ( members of the
Accounting group get N:\ mapped to \\server01\accounting while members of
the Sales group get N:\ mapped to \\server01\sales and so on ). You might
also take a look at kixtart, which can do this very easily. You have
already mentioned IfMember.exe...

Scott might have the better idea - post this to a .vbs news group.

Also, Torgeir might be able to help you on this ( but I do not want to put
words in his mouth... ).
