Thanx Richard and Witto
I will try it and Win98 doesn't work with deep mapping, i have tried it.
I have one question, i didn't quite understood this code, written by Witto:
Dim $SO
$SO = SetOption("Explicit","On")
$SO = SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings","On")
$SO = SetOption("NoVarsInStrings","On")
$SO = SetOption("WrapAtEOL","On")
$SO = DelTree("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KiXtart\TokenCache")
I mean, why do it this way ----> $SO = SetOption("Explicit","On")
when only writing this way ----> SetOption("Explicit","On")
will do the trick??

Ok, now i undrstand why i see it on the screen ;-)
Another question [if i may], right now everytime i want to see the changes or the new code i have configured in the login.kix file i have to logoff and login a computer.
Is there a faster way to run the script and to see the results?
as for now my .bat file looks like this :
@echo off
%0\..\kix32 %0\..\login.kix
what if i want to run test.kix? i have tried making a new .bat file called test.bat and configuered it like this
%0\..\kix32 %0\..\test.kix [and ofcourse made a kix file called test]
But i'm getting error message.....

that part is in the way you call it - ie there's a big nice faq for the different ways to call the scripts  You get a error msg regarding that the kix-executable can't find the script, or that the kix-executable cannot be found? map a drive against the netlogon, run it from there (ie z:\kix32 test.kix)

Code:
SetOption("Explicit","On")
shows on your screen
Code:
OFF
I do not want to show ANY information to users in an uncontrolled way. It leeds to confusion and is misunderstood.
Code:
$SO = DelTree("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KiXtart\TokenCache")
This line is just needed while you are testing and are hopping in and out groups to see if it all works. You should get rid of it as soon as you do not need it anymore. The cache will speed up mapping drives.

I more like the robust approach, but there is IMHO an error in the text about the Win9x command line. In the list to find OS's you may want to add the newer ones as you need them.
Code:
@ECHO off
SETLOCAL
REM First line will find W2K3 For Terminal Sessions
VER | find "5.2.3790" > nul
If NOT errorlevel 1 GoTo Win_NT
VER | find "NT" > nul
If NOT errorlevel 1 GoTo Win_NT
VER | find "2000" > nul
If NOT errorlevel 1 GoTo Win_NT
VER | find "XP" > nul
If NOT errorlevel 1 GoTo Win_NT
VER | find "98" > nul
If NOT errorlevel 1 GoTo Win_9X
VER | find "95" > nul
If NOT errorlevel 1 GoTo Win_9X
GoTo unknown_os
:win_NT
Call wkix32.exe login.kix /i
GoTo end
:win_9X
%0\..\wkix32.exe %0\..\login.kix /i
GoTo end
:unknown_os
:end
Now if any code fails on NT because you did not map to Z: during logon I think it is time to get rid of that coding.
This is just my opinion. Everybody has to find solutions to his own needs.

Now for testing, I don't think you have to logoff and logon every time.
If you know what you are doing, you can make a simple script that removes all drive mappings, printer mappings etc.
I presume you are storing the test login script in the netlogon share. Just start it p.e. like this:
Code:
\\domainname\netlogon\wkix32 \\domainname\netlogon\test.kix

Ya, noticed  But you're right to fix it the right way from start - but from my experience it still can be messy when trying to call the batchfile after logon.

heh, it WAS messy, until I read your link a while back and fixed it Tho, we have always based things on os-type/version.

Thanx guys,
but i'm still a little confused  . Let say i have a file named test.kix and i want to run it in order to see what it does. For example while i login a computer the file login.kix is running and shows me a command windows and there for an example it says "Installing Network Printers Please Wait..."
Now, i want to run a test.kix file that print something on the command window, how do i do it without running the login.kix file everytime, only when i will be satisfied with the code on test.kix then i will copy it to the login.kix file?

IIWY, I would get rid of that screen output. Also because just behind that screen output, you make your users wait for 5 looooong seconds.

Sorry for my late reply, i took the weekend off.
Thanx richard and witto.
Witto: anyway the have to wait a few seconds while the printers installed, i wrote that line before the actual installing code so it stays as long as it take the printers to be installed.
Richard: i will try it today.
