When you run KIX for a login script under Win2K, the DOS box stays minimized. Using the setconsole("Maximize") pops-up the DOS box but it runs down the whole length of the screen.

My question...

Is there a way to unminimize this box under Win2K that doesn't expand the DOS box to the full length of the screen?

I would like to do this without having to modify the registry if at all possible.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Put this on the first line of your code, this is what I use...

$ = SENDKEYS("~{tab}")

Thanks...

Hi there !!
I had the same Problem in my NT 4 Domain with W2K Clients.

But i found a way to go arround:

On my NT4 CLients, i added a Registry Key, to tell the Gui to pause starting untill the login-script has finished. (Microsoft Documentation)

I also tried this Key on my W2K Clients and suddenly the logon-script doesn´t run minimized: It Runs as desiered

The Registry path is the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

KEY: RunLogonScriptSync
Value: dword:00000001

After i added this Value to all my W2K CLients, the Logon Windows runs Normal and NOT minimized.

Hope it works

BYE
KST

Dear,

The problem with KST solution is that everybody must wait before
a script has completed. We like the very fast way of starting
your desktop and doing a lot of inventory logging in the back-
ground.
