Ok, I'm still having this problem where Win2K boxes aren't properly processing the KIX script. It looks like it runs, but the mappings aren't happening. Someone suggested I use the %0 stuff for the 2k boxes, but this had no effect. Here's a little more info: The script ran fine for 2k boxes until the NT domain name change. Logging onto the same box with a new userID, the script runs fine, but when loggin on as the original user, who has logged on before in the previous domain name, the script doesn't run. Anyone?

Well, you can use the murder approach.. -- murder the old user profile on each Win2k PC.. but that might disturb some of your users. [Smile]

What may be happening is that the stored logon name for your mapped shares may be incorrect and not updating.. I'm not sure how to fix this other than manually mapping drives and then unmapping them and trying the logon script again.. There may be an easier way to do this.

Perhaps in your script you could use something like:

code:
USE E: "\\server\share" /user:"domain\@USERID"'

I don't know if this is the problem or not, but it's something you can try.

The 'murder' approach works. Whacking the profile corrects the issue, but yeah, that would piss a bunch-o-people off. What is it, burried in the ntuser.dat or something? Doing persistant mappings & then deleting them doesn't correct the problem, tried that. Don't realy see the userID & password solution as that, a solution, because of the frequency passwords change, and the number of users I have.... Any other ideas?

Can you post an example of how the script is failing, including code, how it is ran, and any other relevant info? Need more to go on.

I didn't say put the password, but just the userid with full domain name. The password shouldn't be needed as long as the user has permissions normally.

Oh. Uh, still though, maintaining the userID list in the logon script would be a headache.

How it is failing, like, with debug on or something? It literally is just skipping thru the script, with no sign of errors. It's a simple logon.bat, calling the .kix, and the .kix is using ingroup/use commands. Like I said, it works on the same system if a different user logs onto the workstation. And no, musical workstations isn't acceptable either! heh-heh!

Hmm. You don't need a USERID list in the logon script to map drives. Here is the code I posted again:

code:
USE E: "\\server\share" /user:"domain\@USERID"

The whole point of this is the "domain\@USERID" is the current user on the new domain. I would guess that when you do:

USE E: "\\server\share" it is probably using the default username of olddomain\userid instead of the NEWdomain\userid.

The code posted above will NOT require anything additional to run properly. @USERID is a macro that is determined from the currently logged on user.

Now, having said that, I haven't tested it. But, IF the problem is that it's trying to map using the username on the old domain (which is what I suspect), this should fix it.

I work for a company that has recently divested itself from another company. We went through our own "domain" change. A possible cause for this is legacy persistent mappings. Have you ruled this out?

Ok, ok, I got it! Gee, I feel dense! Anyway, think I'll try that, see if it works.

Persistant mapping, naw, one of the first things I tried was deleting the mappings, and ones that didn't have them, creating a persistant, and then deleting them, see if that would do it, which it didn't....

Still would like to somehow remove the cached or remembered drive info....
