We ran a pilot project of Kixtart for a few months with very few problems.

Yesterday we implemented it across the board and have had loads of drive mapping problems.
We have a single domain system with 1 PDC and 3 BDCs.
All netlogon directories are identical with KIX 3.62 installed. KIX RPC is running on all servers.
There are 120ish W95 w/s. When we did the pilot we ran all kix stuff from the netlogon directory. Would it make things better if I copy all W95 kix files to each workstation.

It appears that it was mainly the least busy server which did not map drives. The w/s logged in ok but there were no drives mapped. we used to get problems with this machine only logging in people as guest with Kix 3.53 but upgrading to 3.62 seems to have cured this.
I am now kind of committed down the Kixtart route and would welcome any suggestions.

Hi

Welcome to Kixtart.to

I would go with copying the required files over to the win9x boxes. Easy to implement using the batch file before the Kix script "kicks" in.

Here's a sample batch from Btran:

REM LOGON.BAT
REM =========
@Echo Off

CLS
ECHO Verifying / Updating Script Software Installation, Please Wait...

IF "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" GOTO WinNT
c:\windows\command\XCOPY %0\..\KIX32.EXE %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
c:\windows\command\XCOPY %0\..\KX16.DLL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
c:\windows\command\XCOPY %0\..\KX32.DLL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
c:\windows\command\XCOPY %0\..\KX95.DLL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
IF EXIST c:\kix32.EXE DEL c:\kix32.EXE
IF EXIST c:\KX16.DLL DEL c:\KX16.DLL
IF EXIST c:\KX32.DLL DEL c:\KX32.DLL
IF EXIST c:\KX95.DLL DEL c:\KX95.DLL
GOTO RunScript

:WinNT
XCOPY %0\..\KIX32.EXE %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX16.DLL DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX16.DLL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX32.DLL DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX32.DLL
IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX95.DLL DEL /F %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KX95.DLL
IF EXIST c:\kix32.EXE DEL /F c:\kix32.EXE
IF EXIST c:\KX16.DLL DEL /F c:\KX16.DLL
IF EXIST c:\KX32.DLL DEL /F c:\KX32.DLL
IF EXIST c:\KX95.DLL DEL /F c:\KX95.DLL
GOTO RunScript

:RunScript
ECHO Loading Logon Script, Please Wait...
%WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\KIX32.EXE %1 %0\..\logon.KIX

:End

Found on this thread http://kixtart.to/script/board/ubbhtml/Forum1/HTML/000685.html

Hope this helps.

Even thourgh it isn't finished yet I have a much cleaner version of that logonbat in the Kix Starters Guide.

Also there is a nice file replication script in there that I use to get make sure that the same files are on all domain controllers.

You can currently find it at http://www.neosoft.com/~brycel/kix

Now that i got that out of the way.... try the following.

go to a 9x computer, and logon. if the drive mappings didn't map do this.

map drive z: to the offending domain controller and run this script.

-----
if @ldomain = ""
? "can't talk to the kcrpx service in this server"
else
? "this kxrpc server is ok"
endif
-----

that should give you an idea on where to start trouble shooting.
