lawe009 lawe009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-04-14 Posts: 36	Hi I´m trigging a Motd.kix (Message of the day) at login. I've tested the script from commandpromt through netlogon and it works fine. However when I run it at logon (same cmd) I don´t get the messagebox. What am I doing wrong? Scripts below. Regards Lars From login.cmd Kix32 print-srv.kix If not exist "motd.kix" goto eof kix32 motd.kix :eof Motd.kix MESSAGEBOX ("The text I wanna show","Kixtart",64)

lawe009 lawe009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-04-14 Posts: 36	Thanx for your answer. I tried with the pause before and after "Motd.kix" and either it doesn't find motd.kix (it does find print-srv.kix) or it just ignores it. After I'm logged in I mapped netlogon on the server where I were validated and run it, the logon script, from a cmd prompt and then it runs motd.kix just fine.

lawe009 lawe009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-04-14 Posts: 36	I'm using batch because of history issues. I'm just one of several admins responible for the enviroment. I'm the only one who knows and uses Kix so I better go easy on rewriting everything. Splitting scripts is also because of the others understanding. Should there be issues with several Kix scripts? I find it strange that it works when not trigged at login the same script works fine when I'm logged on. Edited by lawe009 (2004-05-10 12:07 PM)

lawe009 lawe009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-04-14 Posts: 36	Thanx Lonkero It was a path isue and it didn't resolve the "If not exist motd.kix goto eof" to the netlogon folder until I was logged in. I switched to "If not exist %logonserver%\netlogon\motd.kix goto eof" and that solved this. Regards Lars
