Script Syntax

[Paul Banco]

All,

I am trying to map a particular drive through a login script. I am use this
syntax if "%username%"= = "xuser" net use \\server\share

For some reason I can not get this to work. Does anyone know the correct
syntax or have a place on the web that has some samples?

Thanks
Paul

Your syntax appears mostly accurate though you included a space between
the "==" function and neglected to specify a drive letter, either of
which may be the cause of your problem -

if "%username%"== "xuser" net use F: \\server\share

Dean,

I tried both of these scripts below and they did not work. She can manually
map to the drive. Does it matter that she is not mapping to the share level
but one deep.

if "%username%"== "Jlundgren" net use N: \\ob12\finance$\scanning
if %username% == Jlundgren net use N: \\ob12\finance$\scanning

Your syntax appears mostly accurate though you included a space between
the "==" function and neglected to specify a drive letter, either of
which may be the cause of your problem -

if "%username%"== "xuser" net use F: \\server\share

HTH

That depends on the client type ... what OS is the script executing on?

In addition, have you determined if the case of your string comparison
is the cause. Try this as well -

if /i "%username%"== "xuser" net use F: \\server\share

If this continues to fail, redirect stderr to a file by appending -

2>error.log

.... to the end of the net use command.

Dean,

That worked. What exactly does the if /i do? Also I posted a LPT problem
under Paul Banco. I know you are busy but if you can take a look at that as
well it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help
