Script help needed

[Mr_M_Cox]

Hi all,

 

I need a script that will look at the OU membership of a user logging on and then depending on which OU their account is in it runs either bat file 1 or 2.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks all

You can do this using kixscripts - do you happen to use kix already?

 

It just requires a kix udf to read the OU and then you can do a standard IF IN OU in your kixscript and run which bat you require

[Mr.Ben]

Can you not create 2 new Group policies with logon scripts included and modify the Security Filtering to only apply to the groups in question?.

[Mr_M_Cox]

We dont use Kix - I was hoping to use vbs.

 

As GPO's I dont have access to domina level group policy, only local.

Another vote for kix - I hadnt used it till recently, but wish I had tried it earlier!

For vbs this link might help?

I agree that different scripts for different OU's via GPO would work better.

Are you trying to run the script on everything in the domain?

 

If not I would go down Mr.Bens route. Create a GPO and link it in the areas you want it applied to and then use the permissions on the GPO to allow the relevant security groups to apply the policy.
