Help needed where the help file just confuses

[Guest]

By looking in the help file I found out that for the Post User Batch Procedures the following parameters are given:

%1 - name of the directory being created (the home directory exactly as entered on the User Profile dialog).

%2 - name of the newly created/modified user

%3 - name of the server sharing the directory, without leading backslashes.

%4 - name of the home directory share

%5 - name of the directory path following the share name. For example, if the home directory name is \\server\sharename\directory, then this value will be “directory”. If the home directory is \\server\sharename, this value will be “NONE”.

%6 – path to the root share representing the home directory. For example, if the home directory name is \\server\sharename, then this value will be the root share path to the “sharename” share, such as D$\users\directory.

BUT I GET

%1 ADD
%2 Server with \\
%3 Username
%4 \\Server\Share
%5 Server without \\
%6 Share
%7 NONE
%8 Same as %4
%9 Date and time in quotes

Can someone please tell me what information the parameters are supposed to give me.

I'm useing version 4.0.1 on Windows NT 4.0

Actually, the best way to know is like you have done in Echo-ing them to the screen.

The reason for the difference is you are dealing with 2 different areas in Hyena. The Help information you mention is for the After creating home directory run... box on the Home Directory Template.

The information from your results apply to the Batch file to run for all user changes (add/modify/delete) on the User tab under Tools->Settings.

One is run only if Hyena creates a home directory, the other is for user changes such as add/modify/delete.

But surely there must be a way of finding out what each one is!!! or???

Re: Help needed where the help file just confuses

This information is documented in Hyena's Help file, under:

Configuration and Customization
Options and Settings

Go down to the "User Settings" section, and click on the setting for "Batch file to run for all user changes..."

In the Help File, the information you found is for the setting on the Home Directory template, and you can search for the help on Batch file to run for all user changes to find the settings for the other option.
