TMcCann TMcCann Lurker Registered: 2001-12-06 Posts: 2 Loc: Fremont, MI	Don't seem to be able to get our Kixtart login scripts to process using a new Windows XP client. Upgraded the files in Netlogon Share to V. 4.00 (Server is NT 4.0), but it still doesn't appear that the client even attempts to process the script. Kix login scripts function fine on NT, W2K, and 9x clients. Anyone have any advice? Thanks, TMcCann

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Try this, Add the following keys under on the XP machine: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System HideLegacyLogonScripts = 0 HideLogonScripts = 0 RunLogonScriptsSync = 1 ALL are DWORD keys The above worked for me but I know it may sound silly but check that when you get the logon screen on the XP machine that you have sellected your domain from the drop down list box as I have had other people that could not get it working because they was still loggin on to the local machine not the domain. Hope this helps Jay

TMcCann TMcCann Lurker Registered: 2001-12-06 Posts: 2 Loc: Fremont, MI	Thanks for the advice. I made the changes but still no luck with script running under XP. Seems to be hung up on the "%0\..\kix32.exe" in the logon.bat we normally call. I revised the profile settings in U M for D to run kix32 and the script does run after that. Does XP have a hangup with the %0\.. syntax? Is there an alternative, since we run a few other commands in the logon.bat and require the %"0\.." for 9x clients. Thanks, Teresa

I don't know if there is a definitive answer, maybe someone with a similar XPerience can step in. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

In XP it isn't always the NETLOGON directory, which will contain your kixtart binaries and logon scripts. Possible solutions can be [list] change your logon.bat to something like: @echo off \\server\netlogon\kix32.exe \\server\netlogon\your_script.kix @echo off copy kixtart binaries to your clients f.e. %windir% directory. copy your script to your test client f.e. c:\your_script.kix run a logon_test.bat like: code: @echo off kix32.exe c:\your_script.kix @echo off greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA
