#140851 - 2005-06-02 03:41 PM *USE /DELETE problem**
piotrb piotrb Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-05-18 Posts: 11 Loc: Poland	Hello! I want to clean ANY drive mappings starting logon script. (client XP prof, server NT 4.0, KIX ver. 4.23) I use: Code: use * /delete /persistent When I list current mappings (USE LIST) I see "No entries in list", but When I try to map drive I get error 1202 (??), and in My computer still are old mappings. I carefully read the manual: *USE < \| "device" \| "resource"> /DELETE [/PERSISTENT]** IMO my command schould be OK. Thanks for answer

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	In the KiX manual, 1202 lists as "ERROR_DEVICE_ALREADY_REMEMBERED". I suspect that there is a persistent mapping done outside of KiX either at the workstation or through the user's profile settings. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	hmm... this actually seems that there is something worth investigating. if I read right, he does look after issuing the use del, thus, no remembering for that user should be applied, thus there is an issue. now, is that issue of windows or kix or how they work together, is another question. but there is clearly an issue. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11624 Loc: CA	I agree that something is up with the /PERSISTENT switch either in KiX or from outside mapping. I was unable to have KiXtart unmap the drives that were set to be persistent. Code: USE "" /DELETE /PERSISTENT ? 'ER1: ' + @ERROR USE LIST USE /DELETE /PERSISTENT ? 'ER2: ' + @ERROR USE LIST USE "" /DELETE ? 'ER3: ' + @ERROR USE LIST USE /DELETE ? 'ER4: ' + @ERROR USE LIST Code: ER1: 0 Current redirections : No entries in list. ER2: 0 Current redirections : No entries in list. ER3: 0 Current redirections : No entries in list. ER4: 0 Current redirections : No entries in list. Even thought it said there were no drives in the LIST the drives were still there and I could access the remote shares still. One I removed the drive mappings and did not use the /PERSISTENT switch then KiX was able to unmap the drives. I tested with KiX 4.23 and 2010 4.50 Release Candidate 1 both gave the same results. At this point I have no method except to run maybe my own EnumNetworkDrives UDF and then for each one found SHELL out and have NET USE delete the connections. Not really sure what's up, but KiX currently does not appear to be robust with the connection removal.

piotrb piotrb Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-05-18 Posts: 11 Loc: Poland	I make small investigation. Client computer: orginal IBM PC with IBM preinstalled Win XP (Polish) SP2. only MS TCP/IP stack, DHCP client, firewall disabled. small network (100 PC), PDC and BDC with NT 4.0 SP6. No problems with network. My job is to centralize logon process. Now users have "self made" mappings and no logon script, I working on one centralized logon script for all. At the beginning I want to delete all old mappings (I want to do this with KiX) and have problem. 1. Kix-maked mappings are deletable (use * /delete /persistent from KiX or net use * /delete from command line) 2. NET USE-maked mappings are deletable too 3. Mappings maked from "My computer\map network drive\" (with reconnect at logon enabled) are deletable from command line (there is nothing on the list when I type "NET USE"), but in "My computer" I still see network drive icons. When I click on them I see:"X: goes to the not avaliable localization..." (sorry for translaton). When I want to unmap this drive with "disconnect" I see "It is not possible to find network connection". I think that KiX may have problem because Win XP have problem with diconnect. IMO this is similar with Windows 9x behavior: Code: CASE @INWIN = ("2") use * /delete if DELKEY("HKCU\Network\Persistent") <> 0 ? "error "+@error endif Thanks for answers.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	In Win9x, the solution was to delete them out of the registry. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	IIRC, one of the MapDrive() UDFs can delete all drives and makes sure that the appropriate registry entries are being removed as well. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11624 Loc: CA	Well in my testing using any of the Map UDF (without shelling to NET USE) was unable to remove the drive mapping. I still say that there are situations where KiXtart can not remove the drive mapping, but NET USE can. So to me I think KiX needs to be reviewed by Ruud to determine what is being done differently in NET USE then his code. i.e. Maybe KiX needs a FORCE switch or something.

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Did Ruud already had a chance to look into this issue or is there another solution (not being shell '%ComSpec% /c net use * /delete') ? We stumbled into this problem this weekend, thinking our centralized login script was handling this fine... NOT. We replaced use * /delete with the Shell command and everything workes fine till now _________________________ Kind regards,

TechFan TechFan Lurker Registered: 2006-04-18 Posts: 1	I don't see this on the beta forum. So, it must still be an issue. Do I need special access to post on the beta. We just are running into issues of drives not being deleted/remapped properly with use - works with "net use"

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Why was this moved to beta? IMHO, using the command without the /persistent switch is not expected to delete persistent connections. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11624 Loc: CA	Don't know who moved the post. I agree Les, however I have used it in that fashion and still had KiX not remove the mapping. I don't care where the post resides, but there IS SOMETHING WRONG with how KiX is unmapping the drives. Doing everything possible in KiX there have been times when a drive would not unmap, but running NET USE did work, so something is not up to snuff.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	If you read carefully, the problem occurs allthough the /persistent switch is used, so the move is legitimated. _________________________

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	wonder if the drive is marked as "disconnected" when viewed with net use on the commandline when kixtart fails to unmap it... _________________________ ! download KiXnet
