i'm working in a company with a number of branches, each branch have a diffrent subnet : 10.172.30 , 10.172.40, 10.172.50
each branch have a local file server that the branch user is maped to him with a login script that do all the job.

i don't know how they worked until now but what happening if the user going to another remote branch is still getting the map drives
of his branch server, and that causing to a big slow down in both branches.

i want to write a vbscript that will remove the maped drive if the user is not in his original branch.
the thing is i don't have an idea how the script will to the "math" and see that the subnet is not of the user.

i'm not a vbscript excpert so i will happy for help with code lines.

thanks

You can define a site in active directory and specify what subnets fall under that site....so you could name one site LA and the other one NY and list the subnets that fall under those sites.

Your script could then map the drives depending on the site name and not have to worry about IP ranges...you can retrieve the site name the machine is in with something like this.

Dim objADSys : Set objADSys = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
WScript.Echo objADSys.SiteName

Status: offline 		thanks dm_4ever

i learned something fromt his topic.

i will bring this up as an idea, but i think they look for a temp an easy solution like a script
to see if the slow down in the network come from a wrong network drive.

again if you can help with an idea to check the network drive unc and is wrong to remove it.

you know a way to extrect the ip address of the **server unc in the maped drive and compare it
to the local ip, if it's not match to remove the network drive ?



** the mapped drive go to a local server in the branch subnet

WScript.Network
EnumNetworkDrives
RemoveNetworkDrive
MapNetworkDrive
Split Function

Ping and resolve via WMI:  Win32_PingStatus (look at the Ping link in the frequently asked stuff post)
Ping and resolve via ping command:  WScript.Shell and Exec Method (also in the ping post)
