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!

ADSystemInfo causes logon script to hang in Vista

Asked by rbichon in VB Script, Active Directory, Windows Vista

I have a logon script that was working perfectly before I made some changes. Instead of hardcoding the drives I want mapped for the various user groups, I decided to use LDAP to determine if the user had permissions to the shared resource. I have attached a code snippet with the new code. First it removes any existing network drives and then maps the new ones based on permissions. When I run the script manually, it works as expected. However, when it runs at logon on a Vista machine, the script hangs indefinitely. If I add in wscript.sleep(5000) at the top of the script, it executes fine at logon so I would assume that something is being referenced before Vista successfully finds the domain. In addition, if I restart my computer and wait for a couple of minutes before logging in, the script works without the sleep line. Can someone shed some light on this and tell me how to work around it? Thanks.
