Hi

I am running a Win2000 prof' on Clients and win2000 server on the server. I need to convert the scripts to work with winXP:

This is my Login.bat as it looks on the NETLOGON(the users will connect to that file)

If %windir% == C:\WINNT goto Win2k
If %windir% == C:\WINDOWS goto WinXP
EndIf
EndIf
:win2k
Rem Windows 2000 Login Script
net use z: /d /y
net use z: \\mmes\public /y
z:\system32\kix32.exe z:\system32\scripts\min.scr
z:\system32\kix32.exe z:\system32\scripts\downcmd.scr
z:\system32\update32 z:\System32\scripts\login.scr
z:\system32\kix32.exe z:\system32\scripts\upcmd.scr
goto SMS

:WinXP
Rem Windows XP Login Script
net use z: /d /y
net use z: \\mmes\public /y
z:\system32\kix32.exe z:\system32\scripts\min.scr
z:\system32\kix32.exe z:\system32\scripts\downcmd.scr
z:\system32\update32 z:\System32\scripts\login.scr
z:\system32\kix32.exe z:\system32\scripts\upcmd.scr
goto SMS

I added the winXP part but so I can log on to the network but I need to disable some settings:

The question that I have got. Is any one knows how can I remover the update32.exe file called from drive Z and replace it with a KiXform that will hold the scripts together as the user logs on to the network?
I don't have the code for the Update32.exe the IT persons left and refuse to provide the code. if I take the file out I can log on to the network but Some of the scripts will not run. It seems that this file hold them and call the scripts while on the user's screen you can see the company logo and the messages like welcom to..., loading Antivirus....

I need to move this file so I can logon with winXP.

I am very desparet as I am new to KiXtart and in 3 weeks we are getting new laptops with winXP

HELP!

Have you read: http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000025 ?

Your use of the "Z:" is not recommended.

In your batch file why are you trying to distinguish between W2K and XP?

The only real significant difference that you need to determine in the batch file is between Win9x computers and NT (NT3.51 to XP). You should also be calling additional script from within the first KiXtart script. There is no need to keep loading Kix32.exe.

Without seeing the code of your other scripts, it will be hard to determine what is necessary.

We do not know what this program Update32.exe does. I would recommend that you determine what the rest of the code does and write a KiXtwart script that ties it all together.

Take a look at LOGON.BAT (the overkill version) for example login.bat files that work with all versions of Windows.

You should also install the scripts correctly, as decribed in the Kixtart Manual and NOT give your users access to the domain controllers SYSTEM32 directory as you've apparently done.

Please take a look at the FAQ Forum as it contains a plethora of helpful information.
