brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	Have any of you run into backwards compatibility problems when upgrading any of the associated kix files? _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I just did not know how to interpret "any of the associated kix files" so figured "Yes" to be a safe answer. Would KiX32.EXE be considered "any of the associated kix files" cuz if it is, I had to change some InGroup() statements. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

OLE was replaced with COM. oh, and some behavior does change in every build. the more the change on you, what more you use the nice little shorthands of kix (like I) _________________________ ! download KiXnet

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	Thanks...that was a rather broad sweeping question wasn't it? I figured out a decent way to test though (may be old hat for you guys). I created a subfolder in the netlogon share of the DC's where I copied the new kix files to. In the user profile in usrmgr I used "subfolder name"\logon.bat. One thing that I did find is that you have to name your scripts a different name than what your usual batch file calls, if you want to run scripts from this folder using the same .bat file as the one in the netlogon directory. The batch file will apparently look in the root of netlogon first before searching subfolders. _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	We are still using 3.62. I've found that even if I rename kix32.exe in a subfolder and call it by name in the batch file, I still call kix32.exe in the root of netlogon. I'm sure it's a matter of modifying my batch file, but I haven't found much documentation on using a subdirectory of netlogon, any advice would be appreciated. Here is the line that I'm sure would need to be modified: Code: %0\..\kix32.exe _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	We have more than 20 divisions running different versions of KiX, DOS BATch, or VBS, all from subfolders under NetLogon. How hard can it be? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	Thanks for the help Les...I really appreciate it! I wouldn't think that this would be very hard at all, but apparently I'm having some type of problem that I don't understand. _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I'm sorry if I cannot grasp your problem. We have separate folders under \NetLogon for each division (BU) and each BU then calls whatever they want from the user's script path. \BU\logon.bat Within the logon.bat, you need to call KiX from the subfolder as well as pass the full path to the script. THere are several examples of logon.bat files posted to the board. Code: @ECHO OFF VER \| find "2000" > nul IF not errorlevel 1 GOTO Win2K VER \| find "NT" > nul IF not errorlevel 1 GOTO WinNT VER \| find "95" > nul IF not errorlevel 1 GOTO Win95 VER \| find "XP" > nul IF not errorlevel 1 GOTO WinXP VER \| find "98" > nul IF not errorlevel 1 GOTO Win98 VER \| find "Millennium" > nul IF not errorlevel 1 GOTO WinME goto END :WinME :Win98 :Win95 Z:\BU\KIX32 Z:\BU\logon.kix GOTO END :WINNT %LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\BU\KIX32 %LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\BU\logon.kix goto END :WIN2K :WINXP \\company.local\netlogon\BU\KIX32 \\company.local\netlogon\BU\logon.kix goto END :end CLS EXIT YMMV _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	Thanks Les. I was assuming that kix was defaulting to the root of the netlogon share. After using the @kix function I realized I was indeed using the current version. Thanks again. _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain
