Hello fellow Kix scripters! My boss has given me a task which I find hard to solve with my knowledge.. hence is why I am here
What I need is: When a user logs into Windows, whether it's on Windows XP or 7 the script need to determine which OS it logs into first.
If its Windows XP it needs to be directed to a profile path on one of our servers where the home/desktop folder is located.(We have created 2 folders for this purpose; one for each OS) In our AD,(at the user profile settings, Profile Path) we have disabled the profile path because we want to use it in the login script. Is this even remotely possible?
Our current login script is the following: if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto WINNT
REM Script for Windows 95 og 98 m.v. :WIN9X goto SLUT
REM Script for Windows NT :WINNT net use l: \\xena\pta /persistent:no net use n: \\xena\sabusers /persistent:no net use r: \\xena\caddata /persistent:no net use t: \\10.10.30.21\huskvarna /user:sintermetal tangokat net use u: \\storage\research /persistent:no net use w: \\storage1\fj_funk /persistent:no
:SLUT :LicenseWatch rem \\w2kmangan\lwclient\lwinstall.bat EXIT
Let me know if I am unclear about what I am asking for Thanks in advance
The part "Do win 7 stuff" etc .. I guess that's where the AD profile settings should be, right? I got absolute no idea how to resolve this though.. How to locate the profile path ? In my AD at profile path this is what we're using: \\storage1\mandatory
For Windows 7 we will be using \\storage1\mandatory_Windows7 For WindowsXP we will be using \\storage1\mandatory_WindowsXP

I would not change this using Kix. It would be better if you would set up your shares better. Use one for both, this saves you a lot of hassle. Since for Windows 7 it would create the following profile: \\server\share\userprofile.V2 For Windows XP it would create the following profile: \\server\share\userprofile This way they do not interfere with eachother. However to get this to work you need some additional tricks with NTFS and pre-creating the profile folders (and for that is a trick too) with the respective NTFS permissions.
Also keep this share separate from any Folder Redirection shares. But this is more of a AD/NTFS thing then a KiX thing.
Thanks once again for your help. Really appreciate it. As you suggested we are now looking at group policies instead of Kix. In any case, thank you for your time
