Hi SRolland...
I use the LOGON.BAT to copy the hosts, lmhosts and services to the local Windows dirs. That is where the client looks for it.
Here's my batch file:
code:
Cls
Echo "Copying files. One moment please..."
@Echo Off
:KixDir
If not exist c:\utils\kix\*.* md c:\Utils > NUL
If not exist c:\utils\kix\*.* md c:\Utils\Kix > NUL
If (%OS%) == (Windows_NT) goto CopyNT
:Copy9X
If Exist C:\Utils\Kix\kix412.ok GoTo Logon9X
XCOPY %0\..\kix412\KIX32.EXE c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\kix412\KX16.DLL c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\kix412\KX32.DLL c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\kix412\KX95.DLL c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %0\..\kix412\KIX412.OK c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
:Logon9X
C:\Utils\Kix\kix32 %0\..\sLogon.kix
Goto End
:CopyNT
If Exist C:\Utils\Kix\kix412.ok GoTo LogonNT
XCOPY %LOGONSERVER%\NetLogon\kix412\KIX32.EXE c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
XCOPY %LOGONSERVER%\NetLogon\kix412\KIX412.OK c:\utils\kix\ /D /H /I /R /V > NUL
:LogonNT
C:\Utils\Kix\kix32 %LOGONSERVER%\NetLogon\sLogon.kix
:End
EXIT
As you can see, the batch file also takes care of different OS's.
Hope you can use it.
Greetz, Brian
