My drive mappings don't work on XP

I use kixstart and in my script, drives are mapped based on ingroup. This works for my 95, NT, and 2000 users; however, none of the drives map for XP users. Any suggestions?

We need to see what you are doing in order to help you. Please post your code and provide a more detailed description of the exact failure. Does the script run at all on XP? Do all drive mappings fail or just some? Has the script ever worked on XP?

This is the mapping portion. The XP boxes appear to run the script, but none of the drives map.
use i: /d use k: /d use n: /d use p: /d use q: /d use s: /d use t: /d use o: /d use u: /d
;------------------Set System Time-------------------------- Shell "net time \\tsysdc1 /set /y" ;------------------Start Drive Mappings --------------------
;use i: "\\edcfp1\apps$" use p: "\\rfcluster\public" use q: "\\edcfp1\common$" use u: "\\edcfp1\@userid" + "$"
if ingroup("NetG") ?"Mapping NetG Drive" use g: "\\edcfp1\netg" endif
if ingroup("Tech Support") ?"Mapping Tech Support Drive" use m: "\\edcfp1\mvs$" endif
if ingroup("Primavera") ?"Mapping Primavera Drive" use o: "\\tsys-p3\Public" endif
if ingroup("Network Control") ?"Mapping Network Control Drive" use n: "\\ncfp1\common" use s: "\\edcfp1\network$" endif
if ingroup("Prognosis") ?"Mapping Prognosis Drive (X)" use x: "\\edcfp1\prognosis$" endif
if ingroup("Tech Support") ?"Mapping Tech Support Drive" use t: "\\edcfp1\tech$" endif

The script works that first time that the user logs on to the XP box. It doesn't work after that.

So the real problem is not groups or mapping drives, but is the fact the script is not executing.
How are you calling the script? Please post your batch file.

I suggest that you review: Kixtart Starter's Guide
In particular the Advanced Logon.bat section. Try implementing it copy Kix32.exe local to the computer and use %0\..\script.
Does that fix your problem?

Wait a minute...
Are you running 16-bit Kixtart.exe version 2.33?

I am not sure what issues may exist between XP and 16-bit KiXtart. Is there any reason you can not upgrade to at least version 4.02 of the 32-bit version? [ 03. September 2002, 15:01: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ]

One of my coworkers previously tried an upgrade to the 32 bit version and none of our 95 clients would run the script.

{edit} All 5000 of my Win9x computers execute just fine under 4.02. [ 03. September 2002, 15:05: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ]

I'm not sure what the specific error was with the 95 clients, and unfortunately the only person in our office who does is not in today.

I would highly recommend that you you work toward upgrading. Until then...
Have you tried to execute the the logon script from a DOS window on XP?
code:
\\server\netlogon\kixtart.exe \\server\netlogon\edc.skr
Does this execute?
NT,W2K, and XP do not use z:\ when executing the logon script.
Do your XP computers display the black DOS window at all when the script should execute?

I believe your problem is that you are relying on the path=z:\ for your clients to find Kixtart.exe and the script. XP does not use Z:\ and therefore most likely can not find the file to execute.
Please review and implement a test batch file using the "advanced logon.bat" format from my previous post and let me know if your XP computers then work.

I am having this same problem. But on both 2k and Xp. It will load the first time you log on, but sometimes you will loose a drive mapping and if you just log off and back on the script won't execute. You have to completely reboot. I updated to the newest version and still get the same problem. Anybody else have this problem?

StaynZ,
Welcome to the board!
Have you applied the following FAQ?
[url=http://www.kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000024][/url]
In other words, insure that the logon script processes first before the user dives into the machine.
HTH,
Kent
