Hi guys, I want to make sure whether Kix32 version 4.61 is able to run on Windows 8.1? Whenever I boot up my PC, kix32 would not run successfully as the error occur as below:

Sending resync command to local computer
The following error occurred: Access is denied.(0x80070005)

But Somehow, kix32 can run successfully after a cool shutdown sometimes.
I also try for kix32 version 4.63 and 4.64 but failed also.

If you have tried multiple kix32.exes, it sounds like something is either wrong with your windows 8 install, or something is interfering with kixtart(antivirus?). All versions of kixtart work with 8.1, however it is only the latest release (4.64) that recognizes it properly when using things like @producttype.

Hello everybody.
I'm using Kix32 and trying to connect a Windows 10 Prod PC, but in my "setting.kix" (where I recognize the OSTYPE) I don't have "Windows 10 Pro".
Which is the @PRODUCTTYPE for Windows 10?

Thank you

Not solving your problem, but your code is very inefficient. Instead of executing the macro repeatedly, set it to a variable once, then test against the variable.
 Code:
PTYPE=@PRODUCTTYPE


Then, with your if statements, they all have to be executed. I think using a select case construct would be more efficient:

 Code:
Select
   Case $PTYPE = "Windows 6.1 /1"
      $OSTYPE = "Workstation"
   Case $PTYPE = "Windows 10 Pro(N)"
      $OSTYPE = "Workstation"
etc
EndSelect

Ok, thank you BradV, I optimize the script as suggested... ;-)

 Code:
$PType = @PRODUCTTYPE
$OSType = 'Workstation'    ; set default
If InStr($PType, 'Server') Or InStr($PType, 'Controller')
  $OSType = 'Server'       ; override default with "server"
EndIf
is an alternative way of processing this. All servers have "server" in the ProductType description unless they are a Domain Controller, so matching on "server" or "controller" to change from workstation to server type should be all you need.

Also - you need the latest version of Kix to identify the Win-10 product type.

With the "SELECT - CASE" statement some clients doesn't map the network drive (all the clients are Windows 7 Pro: some map the drive and some no...)

Brad's example isn't a complete set.. you need to add the rest of the cases.

Did you try my example? I use that logic extensively to restrict code to specific platform types, or to change the process depending on server or workstation. It should work as posted.

Again, you must be using Kix version 4.64 to properly identify Windows 10 platforms in your or Brad's methods. My code, since it defaults to workstation and identifies servers, will work with Windows 10 systems even on older Kix versions.

I only tried Brad's script (adding all the OS I need and more...).
It's very strange that for some Windows 7 clients it work and for other Windows 7 no... :-(

BTW -
 Code:
If (@PRODUCTTYPE="Windows Vista Server") $OSTYPE="Server" EndIf
isn't correct. This is a workstation, and is called "Windows Vista Starter edition, not "server". ;\)

Since only NT 4 and Windows 2000 use "Domain Controller" instead of "Server", you don't even have to test for that. (These platforms aren't supported on Kix 4.6x anymore). Using
 Code:
$OSType = 'Workstation'    ; set default
If InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE, 'Server')
  $OSType = 'Server'       ; override default with "server"
EndIf
is the simplest format. In fact, most of my production code uses some form of
 Code:
Global $ISWKSTN
$ISWKSTN = 1  ; default to workstation
If InStr(@PRODUCTTYPE, 'Server') $ISWKSTN = 0 EndIf
I might use the reverse of this logic to employ an ISSERVER var if that's more important to my later logic. This Boolean result simplifies later logic by allowing
 Code:
If $ISWKSTN
  ; do workstation stuff
Else
  ; do server stuff
EndIf

Take a look at this UDF post for a set of IsServer and IsWkstn UDFs.
