The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VBS Script help filterning users by security group and default gatweyway logon script

Asked by tetran_au in Shell Scripting, VB Script, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: VB Scripting, VBS Scripting, Logon Scripts, Default gateway, security group

Hi Guys i a absolute noobie when it comes to vb scripting.  It is a complete new language to me. However i have a requirement to create a logon script.   I have basically gotten the beginnings of it down packed where it will map drives according AD security group membership.

What i need help on is the next stage of this. Below is the things i would like this script to also do.

1) display a text box showing progress of logon script
2) have the display box close automatically if logon script runs successfuly
3) have the display box stay open with error message if logon script fails
4) As an extra to checking the security group membership I would like it to also then check the default gateway.  If the user is in teh correct group and the default gateway matches the ip for the site then it will map the drives.  If the default gateway is incorrect then the user will get a message stating you are not currently at your home site so network drives will not be mapped.

I am googling everywhere and looking for templates.  I have managed to get a complete re write of this script working that maps according to default gateway "OR" by security group membership.  The problem is that because i dont know this language well i am stuck with using templates found online and then i have issues with variables etc.

I have not even tried to create the display box yet because that is another hurdle on its own.  Can anyone please advise where i will be able to find some templates that will meet the above requirements or at least some webpages that will go through more and details how to complete this.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If you are feeling generous please have a stab at it yourself but if not any information will be deeply appreciated.
