I found some code to do this out on the net the other day. I’ve modified it a little, and added the part that checks environment variables.
It probably isn’t too efficient, as it creates a new object and then kills it every time the function is called, but it’s fine for my purposes.
‘Error Handling
On Error Resume Next
‘Calls the isMember function with the specified group to see if the current user
‘ is a member of that group.
If isMember(”TypeGroupNameHere”) = “False” Then
‘do something
Else
‘do something else
End If
‘ *****************************************************
‘This function checks to see if the passed group name contains the current
‘ user as a member. Returns True or False
Function IsMember(groupName)
If IsEmpty(groupListD) then
Set groupListD = CreateObject(”Scripting.Dictionary”)
groupListD.CompareMode = TextCompare
ADSPath = EnvString(”userdomain”) & “/” & EnvString(”username”)
Set userPath = GetObject(”WinNT://” & ADSPath & “,user”)
For Each listGroup in userPath.Groups
groupListD.Add listGroup.Name, “-”
Next
End if
IsMember = CBool(groupListD.Exists(groupName))
End Function
‘ *****************************************************

‘This function returns a particular environment variable’s value.

‘ the value of %username%.
Function EnvString(variable)
set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( “WScript.Shell” )
variable = “%” & variable & “%”
EnvString = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(variable)
Set objShell = Nothing
End Function
