I haven't needed to do that in VBScript - but I used to use IFMember.exe in batch files. Apparently it doesn't work anymore, but I haven't used it for a long time.

Hi Daniel,

Very nice script. How about if I want to find out if the all domain users are members of a certain group?

Thanks.

Thanks for the great utility, however as this is vbscript you should either define TextCompare in
groupListD.CompareMode = TextCompare
or write
groupListD.CompareMode = 1

otherwise it would do BinaryCompare (without option explicit turned on) or throw an error…

It's just grabbing the username out of an environment variable: EnvString("username")

I am a bit of a VBScript noob. Here is my question. I am not seeing what the user variable is. Or can this script read all of the Active Directory??

Excellent script, this is exactly what i was looking for. I appreciate your clean scripting style.

I will call this in a terminal services logon script to map a drive for only users in a specific group.

Thanks!
