Hello Stephen,
I don't think so. AFAIK the only variables which you are
able to use during logon are the ones which are system variables on the clients
plus the %username%. Variables defined in the context of the user are not
available at this time.
AFAIK2 - the variable username is filled from the
logon-box, depends on what the user types in there. I'm not 100% sure if that's
still the case, but a long while ago I had issues that the %username% was
sometimes uppercase and sometimes lowercase, and it did not depend on the users
properties in the directory. I found out that the %username% was exactly in the
same spelling the user typed it into the logon-box.
But this was either in the late NT4 or early 2000 days, so
this behavior might have changed.
HTH,
Ulf Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Bell, Stephen Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5. Mai 2004 18:09 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: [ActiveDir] Variables allowed for creating home folders My question is this. Is there
a variable that I can use when creating user home directories that will resolve
to the “User Logon Name” just as &username& resolves to the samaccount
name or “Pre Windows 2000 User Logon Name” field? Background: Normally what I use when creating
home directories (actually allowing AD to make them I should say) is
(location)\&username& and this creates the home directory using the name
shown in the “Pre Windows 2000 User Logon Name” field (actually the samaccount
name I believe). Do to a change in naming conventions
I would like to adjust that. The new naming convention is the “Pre Windows
2000 User Logon Name” field will be a number such as 12345 while the “User Logon
Name” will be the users name. I would prefer to have the home directories
name be a little more readable rather than have people having to remember their
number. This is only an issue when going
though the GUI. I’ve all ready got the script that I use to make users in
batch mode converted over. I just took the UPN name and stripped off
everything after the @ character and used that to name the home
directories. Thanks for any
help! Steve |
