#20234 - 2002-04-19 05:12 PM How to point to nearest BDC?
Cheshire Cheshire Lurker Registered: 2002-04-19 Posts: 1 Loc: Chester, UK	First - great forum We have a PDC and over a dozen BDC to cover a large geographical area using a netlogin share which is replocated across BDC's. To call a kix run and script from a batch I use a line as follows: %0\..\kix32.exe %0\..\Scrnsav.SCR my understanding is that it will try to run the kix and .scr from the same folder as the calling batch? I want to send a batch file to logged on users which when run will envoke the kix and a script however i want the machine to go to the nearest BDC to run the replicated kix and script from there rather than solely from where the calling batch file was located. Is there a command line to do this instead of the %0\... etc? grateful for any help

If not, then place your script on a share on each PDC/BDC (or...the %WINDIR%\repl\export directory will replicate your script to the 'netlogon' share). The user will have already logged on using the domain controller that responded fastest, thus you could use the macro @LSERVER to point to your script.

I think Cheshire wants to control from what DC KiX and the script execute. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
