Okay, I've got an annoying one. I searched, browsed, couldn't find anything like my problem (I'm a mod on opieanthony.com, so I know the drill).... so I'm posting it.

Okay, here's the deal.

I'm no stranger to Kixtart, but I haven't played with 4.x until now.

I've written a script that really (for now) doesn't do anything too drastic. FULLNAME, LDOMAIN, LSERVER, WKSTA, some "use" commands.

The problem - Wkix32, on some 9x workstations - not all - crashes. Seems to be when it hits a macro, usually the @FULLNAME. But I acn remark that line and it still crashes, I don't recall where.

RPC service is installed on the PDC and BDC, and both servers have been rebooted since it was installed.

NETLOGON share has all the Kix files... kx16, kx32, kx95, kix32, wkix32, kxrpc.

It works fine on NT and 2000. It also works fine if I use kix32 instead of wkix32.

Does anyone have a solution? Or perhaps a link to an old thread I missed?

Also - in lieu of a solution - does anyone know how to make it so kix32 doesn't automatically minimize itself on Windows 2000? I've tried SETCONSOLE on Foreground and Show, didn't work. Maximize may be the answer but that's maximizing.. I'd like it to remain a window.

Thanks...

FollowThisLogic,

Welcome to the board!

Are your problematic W9x systems up-to-date? That is, all patches VB-Runtimes, etc. from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and/or http://www.updates.com ?

In the FAQ, there is a topic that addresses this issue - W2k - Keep the Window visible on login?

HTH,

- Kent

this wkix-stuff you could write directly to ruud (address can be found in packets readme) or just add it in beta forum.
there is allready some bugs rosen.

about minimized thing.
it's not kix minimizing but windows 2000.
don't know any short link but on forum there is all the time some link to other links and so on...
what I'm trying to say, if you search with "2000 minimized" or w2k...
and another good one "runlogonscriptsync".
these should give 'bout 50 threads on kixtart-bb.

cheers,

and again kent was faster and more specific writer than I.

but FollowThisLogic, if you might, you could also - if you deside the win9x update/patch stuff - try out what is the update that is needed.
IE, sp?

this could be really informational.

cheers,

Plus, make sure you dont have any old KXnn.DLL files kicking around in the windows directory on these bad workstations. Check the kixtart.log file in temp to see if anything there.

FollowThisLogic,
When you run WKIX32 on Wintendos, you need to hold the logon process while it is running. That means you need to launch it with Start /W because Wintendos do a 'smoke and mirrors' thing with a temporary Z: drive during logon. Ruud has documented this.

Thanks a lot folks...

My brain is a bit burned out after today, but I will definitely try out your suggestions and take a fresh crack at it on Monday.

And as far as the GPO's go.... I'm not running a 2000 domain yet, so I'll have to do it the annoying way... [Razz] Hell, might as well just have Kix do it for me! [Big Grin]

The machines that wkix32 crashed on were 98SE, I'm fairly sure. As for what updates are installed on them, I really couldn't tell ya. Unfortunately these people get quite into that "work" thing, making it tough to play with their machines.... no one cares about the lowly IT guy.. haha...

Thank you - it seems that the START /W is working perfectly (so far). I'll post again if I get any more problems... I knew this would be the place to find my answer!

Of course, had I read the kix2001.doc closer, I would have found it, huh? Oh well...

Dear,

Also a welcome to the board.

An amount of questions has specially to deal with not reading the
specific notes in the manual. During the reading of new
manual releases we find manytimes that Ruud adds or extends the
NOTE messages.
We advise everybody always read the NOTE message in latest manual.
Even for experience users it can be usefull sometimes.
Latest release contains f.e. following interesting parts:
- the requirement of kixtart DLLs and to make sure to replace all
components.
- kix32 supports DrWatson functionality of Windows XP.
- info about the influence antivirus software on kixtart.
- group-membership information and information cache.
- the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA may become a new registry hive in the
future.
- it contains already elements of new .net os.
greetings.

btw: search on the beta forum for our comment on new manual
releases. the latest one was:
http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000301
