#313 - 1999-08-21 09:54 AM Kix32 and Windows 98 Problems

We have a large Kix script for our NT and 95 users that works well...but for some reason we cannot get ANY of our 98 laptops or new workstations to take the Kix script. For some reason they either refuse the script or, worse still, it runs but errors on commands like SELECT!

I have tried the latest version of Kix32 and this has not improved things at all. Our users login to Novell and our NT Domain. Can anyone suggest how to remedy the situation - its going to be a disaster if I cannot get this sorted soon!

Thanks in advance

NB Does the If @INWIN = 2 statement work for W98 clients? I have not got far yet...but it will be quite important soon!

I'm encountering similar problems with a batch of Win98 client PCs in our NT domain environment. After entering username and password, the system hangs. Ctrl-Alt-Del reveals Kix32 and Winoldap running. Killing Kix32 from the list allows the PC to finish booting, but none of the script executes. (no drives mapped, etc.)

--OR--

Killing Winoldap produces an error of "KIX32 - Windows cannot shut down this program automatically. It is recommended that you exit the program with its quit or exit command... (YES/NO button)" BUT the script then executes.

It's also interesting to note, that once completely booted, the login script can be run cleanly by executing the script from the netlogon share. Hmmm.

Its funny but I managed to solve the problem as follows:

Get the latest version of Kix and install as per the documentation!

Make sure that the Kx32 and 16 dlls are copied to windows\system folder but do not copy the 95.dll - this I think was the real cause of the problem! Also rename Kix32 to lmscript.exe.

I then installed the latest version of the intranetware client (which has support for W98) and hey presto...it runs fine on W98 and W98 clients.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Oups...I forgot to mention that the string that searches the 95 registry for the OS version has to be extended to

.................OR "Windows 98")

Otherwise it will not recognise the OS....simple mistake...but I made it!!
