RE: [Samba] windows /bat script question

[Alexander Lazarevich]

Thanks Marc and Nat,
I can't test for existence of anything on server1, since I'm actually 
moving the storage to server2, but I can do the following (in this case 
the testfile exists on some directory of server2):

if not exist p:\testfile (
   net use /delete p:
   ifmember.exe "DOMAIN\Projects"
   if errorlevel 1 net use p: \\server2\projects
)
I still want to run the net use /delete p: command even though 
server1\projects is offline, just because I want to remove any persistant 
connections to server1, so the clients will stop asking for 
server1\projects in the future.

The only downside here is if there is no connection to p: at all, the 
script still tries to remove p:, but that's no big deal since most 
profiles allready have p: persistantly mounted.

Thanks for the help!

This is definitely a kludgy way of doing it, but if I had that problem
and wanted to solve it quickly, I would put a file named THISISSERVER1
on \\server1\projects\. This way you can do an "if exist
p:\THISISSERVER1" test. This is ugly, but it will work.

Subject: [Samba] windows /bat script question
Subject isn't exactly samba, but samba people usually know a lot about
windows bat scripting. Here's my problem:
Currently our domain login script is doing this (among other things):
ifmember.exe "WINDOWS-DOMAIN\Projects"
if errorlevel 1 ( net use p: \\server1\projects )
This works fine. The problem is I'm moving the projects storage to a
different server called server 2 (which is linux running samba 3, so
it
is samba related somewhat). The logic I need is:
If p: is on server 1, remove the persistant share \\server1\projects,
then
if p: does not exist, create a persistant share p: \\server2\projects.
Sounds easy enough, but I have no idea how to test if a share is on a
particular remote server. I'm trying "if exist \\server1\projects",
but
that doesn't work the way I want it as scripts seem to only understand
the
local drive letter names, not the remote names. I could try to spit
out
the contents of "net use p:" to a file, then parse out the remote name
string, and compare that, but that seems like a hard way to accomplish
it
and I don't want the script parsing out stuff during a login. There's
got
to be an easier way.
I could also just always remove the p:, then mount it from server2.
But
that adds an extra /delete every single time someone logs on, I'd
prefer
not to do that. I only want to /delete p: if p: is remote server1, not
if
it's remote server 2.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
