are you wanting the script to write a text file and name it with xyz???
In vbscript for the username side :

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Dim strUser
 strUser = WshNetwork.UserName

If strUse="Persons_UserName" Then
file = "xyz"  '<-- put your code here for the file name
End If

thanks Gecko thats the sort of thing i am looking for. i am basically writing a logoff script and want to split the results between staff and student.

how are you determining if they are a staff member or student member via there username ?

also what results do you want outputting to this text file and where do you want it stored and what are you going to call this log file ?

i am playing with a script i got from this forum to write internet history to an htm file. i am trying to teach myself script by making alterations to the program. at present the script dumpsd all output into one folder on the server. i want to split between staff and pupils so thought if i could determine staff(as there is less of them) i could default the rest as students.

where is the script so I can have a look at it and also need some way of determing staff from students....

i haven't started on the split stuff yet but feel free to have a look at this.

[mac_shinobi]

how are you going to determine from the username who is a member of staff and who is a student ?

Am presuming your students have 04, 05, 06, 07 etc somewhere in there username and staff don't ?

Or what exactly ?

[chalkwellstu]

not sure at the mo Gecko. all profile names are the student/staff names (legacy policy). as i am learning script as i go with this i am not aware of the all the posibles yet. first thoughts are .... if username = 'a' or 'b' or 'c' .... then goto staff else goto student

then each nest would peform the functions dumping into staff or student depending on what it had found.

as i said not quite sure how i am going to handle this yet .....

Need an example of a staff username and an example of a student username so we can decipher some obvious differences between the 2 types of usernames

ok, students profiles are both christian and surname together e.g. johnsmith staff profiles are just the christian name e.g. john

thanks Gecko

thanks Gecko

so aall staff user accounts only use there first name ( ie John ) for the username for logging in where as students have both the first name and last name ie

johnsmith or markjones

So to determine if it was a staff member we just need to match the firstname with the username ?

Have a look at Kixtart - http://www.kixtart.org/ - you could use a Kixtart logoff script to distinguish between users on basis of AD groups. Might solve your problem?

[chalkwellstu]

yeah thats right Gecko, and thanks timzim i'll give that a look as well.

Dim objUser, objComputer

ComputerName = "server_name" '<<-- alter this to your servers name

Set objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & ComputerName)

For each objUser in objComputer

wscript.echo objUser.name  '<-- this line

next

in the above code where I have commented this line

Is where you can change it from objUser.name to

objUser.Description

OR

objUser.FullName

as per the win32_UserAccount class :

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...07(VS.85).aspx

If you could test that and give me a few examples back of each outcome

ie what you get when you use fullname

what you get when you use description

etc

so that I know if it is returning any useful info ie if it always returns the word student or staff in description

If thats the case then that may be easier then trying to determine if there last name is outputted as a null string ie nothing to establish that its a staff member and if not then its a student.

you need to alter the first line to the name of your server ie

ComputerName = "MyServer" '<<-- alter this to your servers net bios name or i.p address
