I've got a question I'm wondering about for some hours now.

I created a script to do a simple share mapping (without drive letter). This mapping has to be there when the server reboots before the logon.

I used srvany from the resource kit to call the cmd file which start the kix script.

All seems to work fine, no errors generated.
The only issue is that (at least I can't see it) the share is not mapped.

When I do the same manually it maps fine.

Am I missing something, does anyone know how to let a service startup a cmd file which calls a kix script to map a share.

env. TSE4 SP6 / MF18 SP3
Kix363

any thoughts are welcome
Thanks

Why would you even want to let systems map drives???? . Logon scripts are extremely handy for this, and i thought KiXtart was all about this in the first place. Use the netlogon share (or sysvol /ad) for finer results.

SO in your case:

-provide the service with credentials who has rights (->from a remote computer this can be done by the XNET utility)

-use Ftp with -s: option as an alternative
-"Trust" the server when you have a W2K domain (dsa.msc -> computers /dc's -> properties)
-check out the service (program should be in "parameters"-section) if you want it to interact with the desktop, assign a reg value of 11 (-> HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Services\ServiceName\ "Type=11"
-when using cmd files, note that the system doesn't know about shell extensions yet. Consider using cmd /c "%path%\FileName.BAT"
-As a last resort, you could the system make perform an automatic logon HKLM...\SOFTWARE\MS\W..NT\WINLOGON\entries:
*DefaultUserName=account with (restricted) access
*DefaultPassword=your_pass
*AutoAdminLogon=1
*DontDisplayLastUsername=0

Grrrippp!

I want to map a share because of the application packages that are on there.
The system is the only one needing permission to access this share.
