Yes, rpc is installed and running at each DC (version that came with build 99)...and the dll's are available (ingroup works for example).

All kixtart files are loaded from the netlogon directory including the service running at the DC's because kxrpc.exe is installed from that directory...that makes it easy for me to keep everything in sync. I update the netlogon directory...stop and restart the kxrpc service at each DC and I've completed the upgrade process.

This was failing with an earlier version (4.0) so I upgraded to see if the 'problem' (and I don't know that it is a problem) was changed.

Ran the script in debug mode and everytime I hit the @homeshr macro (in an if statement or in a use command) the script stops processing (doesn't lock up...just skips the rest of the logon script file)

This only happens if the @homeshr should return a null value. Everything works fine if the user has a home directory assigned in AD...the @homeshr returns the correct value and the script continues executing.

Thanks again...Gene
