removing that fixed it. :P
I do wonder too, why the file was copied there in the first place...
Sorry for the late reply, i don't have a test environment and i had to make sure that nothing else was using the NETAPI32.DLL in the netlogon folder. I went ahead and renamed that DLL in the netlogon folder to .OLD and it looks like KIX32.exe is working now. I'm not sure why that .dll is in there. We've upgraded the DCs over the last decades starting from Windows 2000 Server to Server 2012, and I was only around for the last 2 DC upgrades.
Thanks for all the help.
