#36629 - 2003-02-19 01:15 PM Problem launching script from batch file
Mike Brown Mike Brown Lurker Registered: 2003-02-19 Posts: 2 Loc: UK	Hi, Am trying to launch kixtart script from a batchfile, without success. Netlogon structure: \kix32 contains kixtart program \uk contains script calling using batchfile line: %0\..\kix32\kix32.exe %0\..\uk\test.kix but test.kix will not run unless I copy it to the root of the netlogon share. Any ideas? Thanks _________________________ -- Mike

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	What have you set to be the logon script in user mangler for domains ? be aware that it is the best practice to place the batch directly in NETLOGON and state only the script name in the appropriate field (without any path statements !) ... speaking of NT [ 19.

There are also examples in the KiXtart Manual and the KiXtart Starter's Guide in the FAQ Forum. [ 19.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I too am having a problem calling Kixtart from my logon batch. I am testing this batch on my 2000/NT machines: code: rem NT/2000/XP KiXtart check for v. 4.02 If Exist %windir%\kix402.ok Goto bothOS If Exist %windir%\kix32.exe Del %windir%\kix32.exe If Exist %windir%\system32\kix32.exe Del %windir%\system32\kix32.exe copy \\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\tools\kix32.exe %windir%\. /Y > NUL @echo KiXtart v402: installation completed > %windir%\kix402.ok rem launch KiXtart interpreter for system logging info, registry setting, time sync %windir%\kix32.exe \\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix When I run the script, I get the failed to open script in the console window. Yet I can type this line at the command prompt and run the script??? Does anyone have a suggestion on this? [this is just a snippet of the entire logon batch file, there is a "bothOS" tag later on in the script.] [ 13. March 2003, 18:56: Message edited by: Kellar ]

Secondly, the script will only work correctly if all users have local administrative privileges. Login scripts have been discussed ad nauseum and standard examples scripts have been posted. Please use the KiXtart BBS Search to retrieve those threads. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I haven't found any threads in a hour that discuss being able to type the line in at the command prompt and have it work, and yet not have the identical line run in a batch file. I'll have another look before I post my own thread on this.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	there actually is tons of posts about this for last 10 years. faq forum has also example logon.bat anyway, as short answer, change the calling line to: %windir%\kix32.exe yeg05.kix and it should work just fine with NT&w2k _________________________ ! download KiXnet

#36642 - 2003-03-14 05:47 AM Re: Problem launching script from batch file
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Thanks for the link Lonkero, I read the post in full. NTDOC, I saw that script in some other post and used parts of it in my logon script. Not sure if you wrote it, thanks for passing it on just the same. Since I am testing this script on my machine as admin., and I am sure that there is no problems that way. The problem that I have had from the outset still remains. This line: %windir%\kix32.exe \\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix can be typed from the command prompt in windows, and works fine. When I place this line in a batch file, I get a message that states that KiXtart cannot find or open the script... Having said all that, I really do not want to post anymore in this thread as I'm pretty sure sealeopard is reading this andshaking his head at the fact that I'm still posting here and not following proper board etiquette by a) doing a thorough search before posting and b) not posting in an unrelated thread. This is the first time I have tried calling a KiXtart script from a batch in NT/2000, and first time with 4.20. I'm sure I am overlooking a very small detail here; it'll take a little time to go through the suggestions presented here and look through the board for other posts. Thanks.

The folowing is a batch file to test your line:

code:

ECHO OFF
ECHO Content of the WINDIR environment variable
ECHO WINDIR = %WINDIR%
IF EXIST "%windir%\kix32.exe" ECHO Found "%windir%\kix32.exe"
IF NOT EXIST "%windir%\kix32.exe" ECHO Cannot find "%windir%\kix32.exe"
IF EXIST "\\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix" ECHO Found "\\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix"
IF NOT EXIST "\\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix" ECHO Cannot find "\\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix"
ECHO Calling "%windir%\kix32.exe" "\\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix"
PAUSE
%windir%\kix32.exe \\yeg01-nts-02\netlogon\yeg05.kix
ECHO Error %ERRORLEVEL%

Give it a try and report back.
