Re: Drive mapping via login script

2011-08-09 Thread Andrew S. Baker
So far, I have yet to find out where the script doesn't work.

I still have scripts that use this and work (although I've implemented GPP
for other things)

 In this case a script doesn’t work so perhaps it is a good time for change.

 People might already have logon scripts that work, and a lack of time to
 change them.


 Not saying that change isn't good, but priorities might not favor *that*
 particular change at this time.

 Apart from things that can’t be done by GPP I don’t know why anyone with
 access to GPP would still use a logon script.  GPP is much easier develop
 and maintain and if you use security groups etc it is much easier for
 support staff to make changes.  They don’t have to have any scripting
 skills.

 We use regular .BAT files here for drive mappings, but this doesn't work
 for group-based mappings. In my past life I have used KiXtart which I
 suppose can implement here easily enough (been 3 years since I really toyed
 with it though). I have done some testing of mapping via GPO and it seems to
 add a bit of time to the login.

RE: Drive mapping via login script

2011-08-09 Thread David Lum
Nothing is broken, but we don't have any mappings assigned based on group 
membership currently so IMO it's not scalable. I wanted to get a feel for what 
others are doing and not change something to later hear hey Lum, you should 
have asked and not gone down that path If all I need to do is add IFMEMBER 
functionality then that's the path of least resistance, easily done and looks 
like a viable option. GPP also looks doable and has some cool factor to it 
though...

Oddly, it's usually paths of least resistance I usually have the biggest doubts 
about: sure I can do that, but how does that scale, or work flexibility-wise 
when a change or audit needs to happen? is usually my next question. Putting a 
user name on a folder ACL instead of creating a group and adding a user to said 
group and assigning the group is  the model I generally reference. Easy to do 
the former if you have 10 people and a couple of folders you want to manage, no 
so good if you have 500 users and 50+ different folder ACL's.

I appreciate everyone's input!

Re: Drive mapping via login script

2011-08-09 Thread Steve Kradel
I'm a big fan of GPP for drive mappings, and a huge opponent of login
scripts unless said login scripts are *absolutely necessary*.  The
reason for this is that login scripts have an almost irresistible
tendency to turn into huge, undocumented, incomprehensible masses of
copy+pasted spaghetti code, and are usually written for expediency of
doing a task and moving on (must map this folder for a subset of
finance users) rather than weighing the security, cost, time, or
fault-tolerance of how it is done.

To put it another way, how many login script authors consider the
timeout on mapping a drive to a misrouted target, or how long the user
must wait if half a dozen drives time out in succession (maybe these
could be attempted in parallel, or asynchronously to bringing up the
desktop)?  Are login scripts kept under source code control, or
reviewed by peers?  The answer is usually no...

RE: Drive mapping via login script

2011-08-09 Thread Ray
Everyone's environment is different.  We have about 6000 users, spread
around the state, with about 20 sites, most with their own servers.   Each
site has their own .bat, because it wasn't worth trying to figure out how to
map local drives and also drives back to the Home office.   

 

We have sensitive data, and we have various committees/projects with people
coming/going.  It was just easier to adjust their group membership.  When we
hire someone new, we ask who their access should resemble, and we just have
put them in the proper groups rather than trying to figure out what folders
they have access to.  

 

Haven't looked at GPP.   I've changed positions and that kind of stuff is
out of my hands now.

 bit of time to the login.

RE: Drive mapping via login script

2011-08-08 Thread Crawford, Scott
The version of ifmember that I'm using is from 2003 from a resource kit.  
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.

OK.

Well, the more-current version has replicated, and I've let minion know about 
it.

We'll see if it makes a difference, tomorrow, when he brings a new user on line.

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.

Group Policy Preferences.

Apart from things that can't be done by GPP I don't know why anyone with access 
to GPP would still use a logon script.  GPP is much easier develop and maintain 
and if you use security groups etc it is much easier for support staff to make 
changes.  They don't have to have any scripting skills.

We use regular .BAT files here for drive mappings, but this doesn't work for

Not saying that change isn't good, but priorities might not favor *that*
