We haven't rolled out the GP Prefs client. It would take a while to get it out there. We'll need a solution rather soon. How do you leverage NET USER to check group memberships? Did you mean NET GROUP, and if so, do you leverage the FIND command followed by checking the errorlevel? Thanks for your help!

You can use net user rather than ifmember if you want to use native Windows commands in logon scripts. I'd still go the Group Policy Preferences route though 2009/12/14 RM <[email protected]> My boss wants to add some intellegence to our logon scripts with IFMEMBER. I had planned to use Group Policy user logon scripts. Is IFMEMBER still kosher on modern Windows networks? I know it's pretty old technology...
