I have existing users in the domain which i have added to security groups in an attempt to cleanup my network file shares permissions etc... The users have been added to the groups for over a week not but are still not showing up in IFMember.exe for my drive mapping script. I am suspecting some sort of group membership cache on the users roaming profile. it seems to work fine when they go to a computer they have not logged in to before. any ideas on how i can forcefully refresh the Member Of cache (if one exists) on a user profile for an individual computer?

even getting me off into the general direction of what i need to do would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

n/m i changed my drive mapping login script to no longer use ifmember.exe and instead pull in the groups from ldap using the memberof attribute.

var MemberOf;
function memberOf(GroupName) {

if (MemberOf == null) {
var ADSI = new ActiveXObject("ADSystemInfo");
var User = GetObject("LDAP://" + ADSI.UserName);
MemberOf = User.MemberOf.toArray().join("\n").split("\n");
}

var find = new RegExp(GroupName, "i");
for (i = 0; i < this.MemberOf.length; i++) {
if (find.test(this.MemberOf[i])) {
return true;
}
}
return false;

}
