You are correct Rick. However, I'm not sure that Evan was asking about TS
sessions, but rather the clients themselves.

A better tool to use is GETTSCIP.exe from
http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_Utils.htm. Warren has rewritten this to
work under plain old Terminal Services too, which makes it very
versatile...Thanks Warren :)

Then in the usrlogon.cmd you can add some lines similar to the following:

::Get the Clients IP address and set an environment variable
FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%A IN ('gettscip.exe') DO SET ClientIP=%%A
:: Remove leading spaces
SET ClientIP=%ClientIP: =%
::Write a permanent change to the users Environment space
SETX ClientIP "%ClientIP%"

Cheers.

Hi Jeremy,

But doesn't @IPADDRESS0 just give you the IP address of the machine you're
loggining in to?

I don't think that'd help much when the IP address of interest is the ICA
client IP address.

But the code is fine otherwise. That's basically what we do.

The only difference is we use a utility to dump the client IP address,
which kix then uses just like your example.

eg,

in usrlogon.cmd:

clientnfo > "%temp%\clientnfo.fil"

in the kix script:

$file="%temp%\clientnfo.fil
; get ICA client IP address
$ipaddr=readprofilestring($file,"WFClientNFO","WFClientAddress")


regards,

Rick

You can do it quite easily with kix...for example:

--------------------------------------------------

$ipaddress=LTRIM(SUBSTR(@IPADDRESS0, 1, 12))
$ipsubnet=join(split($ipaddress,' '),'')
SELECT
    CASE $ipsubnet = "172.16.0."
      $LocalSubnet = "Data Centre"
    CASE $ipsubnet = "10.3.16."
      $LocalSubnet = "Melbourne"
    CASE $ipsubnet = "10.3.17."
      $LocalSubnet = "Sydney"
    CASE 1
      $LocalSubnet = "Perth"
ENDSELECT

IF ($LocalSubnet = "Data Centre")
 USE T: "\\fileserver\share$"
ENDIF

--------------------------------------------------

Hope that helps.

Cheers.

Does anyone happen to do any logon scripting that checks the IP
Range/Subnet the computer is on, or, a portion of a computer name (such
as a prefix).  I'm trying to come up with the best way to consolidate
70+ different logon scripts for 70+ different offices, into one and
subnets and computer prefixes are always unique per location.

An alternative, and last case option is to check OU membership, but I
don't split up OUs by office and would like to avoid doing that.

In theory all 3 options sound like they would work just fine, but I'm
feeling them out for anyone who has done it in the real world.

I'd likely do it with KIX.
