It can also be a timing issue. THat is why it is important to optimize protocols and provider order. Some people have been known to add a SLEEP in the script to give it time. When KiX encounters a macro or function that calls for a round trip to the DC, it does a pre-fetch of several attributes. You might want to force a call very early in the script so that it may be available later.



well the map drive line actually happens very early in the script and all subsequent @UserID calls are still blank.

here is the script:
Code:

CALL "script_news.kix"

USE F: "\\ash2\courses"
USE G: "\\asd\Warehouse"
USE H: "\\ash1\@userid"
USE J: "\\ajh2\gqapps"
USE K: "\\ash1\abingtonian"
USE L: "\\seclib1\data"
USE P: "\\seclib1\prog"
USE M: "\\ash2\musiclab"
USE R: "\\ash2\arithmetic"
USE S: "\\ash1\shared"
USE T: "\\ash2\teachers"
USE Y: "\\asd\SpecialEd"
SETTIME "\\AsH1"

CALL "script_run_extra.kix"
CALL "script_av.kix"


script_run_extra.kix --
Code:

$SERVER = "ASH1"

IF @ProductType = "Windows XP Professional"
    $Result=WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz", "NoRun", 1, "REG_DWORD")
ENDIF

IF (@ProductType = "Windows 98")
    IF (@UserID = "")
        OPEN (1, "\\" + $SERVER + "\login\check\_blankusers.txt", 5)
        WRITELINE(1, "PC: " + @WKSTA + " -- Operating System Build: " + @BUILD + " -- Date: " + @Date + " @@ " + @Time + @CRLF)
        CLOSE (1)
    ENDIF
ENDIF

SELECT
  CASE @ProductType = "Windows 95"
     GOTO run_it
  CASE @ProductType = "Windows 98"
     GOTO run_it
  CASE @ProductType = "Windows XP Professional"
    IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\IBM\Java141\bin\java.exe")
        MD "%USERPROFILE%\.java"
        COPY "\\" + $SERVER + "\login\properties141" "%USERPROFILE%\.java\properties141"
    ENDIF
ENDSELECT
GOTO end

:run_it
shell "\\" + $SERVER + "\login\regedit\update.bat"
