Yeah, shocker, huh? :) But, he's an MVP so it's a little odd. I always read that one as him having an argument though.

Anyway, it still works fine on Win7-64. I don't believe it came as part of any OS so I'm not sure what this blog post is referencing. Note that Net User doesn't do recursive group searching like ifmember.exe does. So, if you're a member of GroupA and GroupA is a member of GroupB, Net User will not show that you're a member of GroupB, but IfMember will. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com<mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com>] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2011 2:06 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Drive mapping via login script Huh.
