srolland srolland Lurker Registered: 2002-12-03 Posts: 4 Loc: London	I'm sorry if this is really easy, but i have read websites and manuals on this script here but i can't get it to work. It's meant to copy lmhosts from NETLOGON to the users etc folder. Can you see what's wrong? (the users have admin rights). The lmhosts is in the NETLOGON folder, it's an NT4 server with W2K clients if that makes any difference. COPY "%0\..\lmhosts" "%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts" _________________________ Huvvnae got a clue

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

Oh... HAHAHAHAHAHA
you're totally right Lonkey.
Had a late night last night... let's keep it at that [Smile]

Anyway SRolland, I do that copy option in the LOGON.KIX.

Here's a sample of my kix script which handles that part:

code:

 
Select
  Case @InWin = ("1") ;Windows NT
	If Exist (@LDRIVE + "\lmhosts.")
		Copy @LDRIVE + "\lmhosts." %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
	EndIf
	If Exist (@LDRIVE + "\hosts.")
		Copy @LDRIVE + "\hosts." %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
	EndIf
	If Exist (@LDRIVE + "\services.")
		Copy @LDRIVE + "\services." %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
	EndIf
	If Exist ("%systemroot%\system32\nbtstat.exe")
		Run "%systemroot%\system32\nbtstat -R" >nul
	EndIf
  Case @InWin = ("2") ;Windows 9x
	If Exist (@LDRIVE + "\lmhosts.")
		Copy @LDRIVE + "\lmhosts." %windir%
	EndIf
	If Exist (@LDRIVE + "\hosts.")
		Copy @LDRIVE + "\hosts." %windir%
	EndIf
	If Exist (@LDRIVE + "\services.")
		Copy @LDRIVE + "\services." %windir%
	EndIf
	If Exist ("%windir%\nbtstat.exe")
		Run "%windir%\nbtstat -R" >nul
	EndIf
EndSelect

This should be more helpful than my last post [Smile]

Greetz, Brian

BrianK BrianK Getting the hang of it Registered: 2002-10-02 Posts: 90 Loc: Amsterdam, The Netherlands	Your line: code: COPY "%0\..\lmhosts" "%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts" suggests a subfolder named LMHOSTS should be copied. Try adding the dot after "lmhosts" so it looks something like this: code: COPY "%0\..\lmhosts." "%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts." Good luck.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	rolland, the syntax looks ok. anyway, the line returns allways error, even if the execution was succesfull. this makes me ask, are you sure the file runs at all? try adding a line after that errorline with just: get $key it hangs the script execution until you press any key. this way you see does it run and if it does, it will show you the error too. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Alternatively, search the KiXtart BBS for 'lmhost copy' since the issue of copying HOST/LMHOST files form a server to clients has been discussed numerous times. Most of the threads even contain complete code solutions! Please take advantage of the KiXtart BBS Search! _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
