Re: Drive Mapping Script Based on Group Membership Fails Due to LD

Ok, I logged on locally and ran the script locally under three scenarios.

The first attempt I logged on locally using my administrator login that is a
member of both the Local and Domain Admins group; The script runs to
perfection.

For the second scenario, I logged in as a user who is a member of the local
administrator group, but only a member of the Domain Users group (not Domain
Admins). The outcome resulted in the following error message:

WINDOWS SCRIPT HOST
Script: \\smrserv1\scripts$\MapLocalPublic.vbs
Line: 9
Char: 1
Error: 0x80005000
Code: 80005000
Source: (null)

For the third scenario I logged in under a roaming profile who is a member
of the Domian Users group (not Domain Admins). The resulting error code is
as follows:

WINDOWS SCRIPT HOST
Script: \\smrserv1\scripts$\MapLocalPublic.vbs
Line: 9
Char: 1
Error: Object not a collection
Code: 800A01C3
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

I also inserted a Wscript.echo line that returned the strUserpath variable
and it returned the fully qualified LDAP user path. So my thinking there is
that the GetObject command is failing (for some reason), but have so little
experience scripting and with active directory, that I have no idea why.

I appreciate all of the time and effort you have put into helping me resolve
this.

Poor word choice on my part. Logon on to the machine and run on the local

The script I am running is located on a network drive with read/excecute
priveleges granted to members of the Domain Users security group.

I am more interested in running the script as a domain user rather than a
local user. I have tried running the script using a raoming profile and a
local profile (both with non-elevated permissions.) I also tried using
the
ADSIEDIT.MSC tool to grant list and read priveleges to the Domain Users
group; however, the only thing that seems to work is adding the user to
the
Domain Admins security group. I must be missing something...

The easiest way to test to see if a script can be run as a local user is
once logged on run it locally. I see no special calls in the script you
pointed to that require special rights.

Where is the script located that it is failing in the logon script?

I recently tried to deploy a logon script using VBScript that uses an
LDAP
query to gain knowledge about the currently logged on user's group
membership. The script then maps drives based on the user's group
membership.

The problem I encountered is that when I try running the script as a
user
who is not a member of the Domain Admins security group, the script
fails.
When logged in as an administrator, the script runs to perfection.

What specific security setting can I change to allow members of the
Domain
Users security group permission to run the script?

Here is the URL of the article containing the script:
