Hello Folks

I have botched and hacked a script together so I can mount drives on clients machines. The OS are varied, Win95/98 and Win 2000. I have a mixed Domain with ADS running on a few Window 2000 servers with some NT servers.

The script works fine except INGROUP is ingnored on the Windows 2000 client. What am I doing wrong.
Also, can I get rid of the

SHELL "Winset.exe HOMEDIR=@HOMEDIR"???

from the top of the script. I believe its just for the WIn95/98 clients. Using Kix2001 v4.11.00

The rest of the script is here:

I have batch script first:

@ECHO OFF
Z:\kix32.exe /d script1.scr
EXIT

Then this is the script1.scr:

SHELL "winset.exe USERNAME=@USERID"
SHELL "Winset.exe HOMEDIR=@HOMEDIR"
BREAK ON ;(re)set Ctrl-C/Break handling
SMALL
?
"HI, @FULLNAME"
? ""@USERID
?
? "Your Logon Server:" @LSERVER
?
? "Your Password is " @PWAGE " Days Old."
?
? "Home Directory Location:"
? @Homeshr "\" @HomeDir
?
?
CLS
RUN "NET Use F: \\adv***al\apps"
RUN "NET Use H: \\adv**ta\apps"
SLEEP 5
RUN "NET USE U: \\advglobal\@USERID$"
SLEEP 10
If INGROUP("Domain Admins") RUN "Net Use O: \\advmeta\o"
ENDIF
If INGROUP("Sun") RUN "Net Use S: \\advsun\sun426"
ENDIF
SLEEP 4
CLS
RUN "\\adv***bal\interchk\w95inst\setup.exe -inl -a"
RUN "start /wait \\adv***bal\interchk\savagent.exe -update -poll 3600"
RUN "\\adv***bal\interchk\run95sag.exe -update"
sleep 4
EXIT

If you can help. Much appreciated

[Razz]

Cheers

I'm making it short:

@ECHO OFF
Z:\kix32.exe /d script1.scr
EXIT

prevents the script from running on w2k machine.
only win9x has z: mapped to netlogon.

thus you should use:

@ECHO OFF
%0\..\kix32.exe script1.scr
EXIT

Thanks that worked! Cool.

Now I have another problem. I keep getting device in operation errors and some Winset errors both occur on Windows 2000 client. Any ideas?

Cheers

You might also want to take a look at the KiXtart Manual which gevies examples of properly formatted login.bat files or check the Kixtart Starter's Guide or search the KiXtart BBS for 'login.bat'

Also, WINSET is required for Windows 9x unless you're using KiXtart 4.12 beta 1 and later which has improved support for the SETx commands under Windows 9x.

Please replace the sHELL commands with USE and read Not quite everything you wanted to know about RUN and SHELL

Use
code:
?''+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
after Kixtart commands/functions to track down which commands are successful and put a DEBUG ON into the first line of your script to step through it.

I have put

RUN "NET USE "*" /DELETE"

before all the other mount lines.

This get rid of the device in use operation error. Now what do I have to do with WINSET, do I need it for Windows95/98 machine to read the commands?

Cheers

don't use run 'net use...'
use shell... run will go in it's own process and the script might bump into each other.

use shell or just 'use * /delete /persistent'

Yes, do DO need WINSET for Windows 9x (and only Windows 9x) unless you are using KiXtart 4.12 beta 1. Use
code:
if @inwin=2
  ; winset stuff
endif
to execute it under Windows 9x only.

actually:
RUN "NET USE "*" /DELETE"

is wrong.
it will only do:
RUN "NET USE "

it should be:
RUN 'NET USE "*" /DELETE'

to make it kixtart (faster kixtarts own command) replace that line with:
USE "*" /DELETE /persistent

the persistent switch removes those errors for good.

Actually, DO NOT use RUN/SHELL at all for mapping drives. Please use the build-in KiXtart USE command.

It is getting nice.

It quite warming to know our small planet can work together!

I am just altering the script and checking it.

Thank again.

Should be back in a few moments to tell you how it worked out.

Thanks guys it works!!!!

Here is the full script, you are wrote.

?''+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
if @inwin=2 ; winset stuff
SHELL "winset.exe USERNAME=@USERID"
SHELL "Winset.exe HOMEDIR=@HOMEDIR"
endif
BREAK ON ;(re)set Ctrl-C/Break handling
SMALL
?
"HI, @FULLNAME"
? ""@USERID
?
? "Your Logon Server:" @LSERVER
?
? "Your Password is " @PWAGE " Days Old."
?
? "Home Directory Location:"
? @Homeshr "\" @HomeDir
?
?
CLS
USE "*" /DELETE
Use F: \\adv**bal\apps
Use H: \\adv**ta\apps
SLEEP 5
USE U: \\adv**bal\@USERID$
SLEEP 10
If INGROUP("Domain Admins") Use O: \\adv**ta\o ENDIF
If INGROUP("Sun") Use S: \\ad**un\sun426
ENDIF
SLEEP 4
CLS
EXIT

Not quite sure if I have the correct location for

?''+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR

Cheers

Guys

I have a problem! The User drive mapping is not working on either Win98 or Win2K. Any ideas?

Have changed line to:

USE U: \\advglobal\@USERID$$

It worked when I had the line as

RUN "NET USE.... etc

What do you think?

Cheers

You probably don't need the "winset' commands. Do you have an applications or utilities that use this these environment variables? If this info is only referenced during logon, you can probably restructure your scripts so you don't need to do this.

I can confirm

RUN "NET USE U: \\advglobal\@USERID$"

Works.

I have looked at the other bbs messages, and it does seem confusing!

Can anyone suggest a good book covering scripting on Windows machines?

Cheers

Better syntax would be
code:
USE U: '\\advglobal\'+@USERID+'$'
I prefer not to have KiXtart variables/macros within a quote-delimited string.
