I have a Kixtart script that works fine when logging in on a lan/wan network connection, however, I cannot get it to run over RAS using the same user account(s) for the life of me. Any ideas? Please help...

Have had the same problem.. try NOT logging into windows (I'm assuming it's win95/98 because NT would run the script using RAS) before dialing in. You'll get a login-prompt right after you've dialed in, and me thinks you'll get your script after that. Make sure you wait long enough though - it takes time if you run KIX remotely. We have Kix copied locally on every client to save time...

Thanks for the replies folks. I found part of the problem - I didn't have the proper files loaded on all BDCs and I had to make sure the kxrpc service was running on all of them, too. I can log in now, however, I am still having some probs with logging in intermittently. I tried logging in from home and got nothing. Fuentes, you are correct, we are using 95/98 clients, but I'm not sure what you mean about not logging in to Windows. Please elaborate. Here is my script, please advise with any help you can muster:

USE F: @homedir
USE H: "\\server1\shared\"

IF INGROUP("WAREHOUSE") = 1
USE U: "\\Server1\whouse\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("ELECTRICAL") = 1
USE Q: "\\Server1\TFWELEC\"
USE U: "\\Server1\ELECTRIC\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("Mechanical") = 1
USE M: "\\Server1\MECHANIC\"
USe Q: "\\Server1\TFWPLMB\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("STRUCTURAL STEEL") = 1
USE O: "\\Server1\SSTEEL\"
USE U: "\\Server1\ELECTRIC\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("MACHINERY") = 1
USE P: "\\Server1\MACHINER\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("MARKETING") = 1
USE J: "\\Server1\salesmkt\"
USE T: "\\Server2\SalesMkt\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("Admin") = 1
USE G: "\\Server1\jobfiles\"
USE J: "\\Server1\DEPT\"
USE S: "\\Server1\salesmkt\"
USE T: "\\Server2\SalesMkt\"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("HR") = 1
USE J: "\\Server1\ALLDOC\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("PROJECT MGMT") = 1
USE J: "\\Server1\PROJMGMT\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("COMMENCE") = 1
USE K: "\\Server3\VOL3\"
ENDIF
IF @userid = "COMMSYNC" = 1
USE F: "\\Server3\VOL3\"
ENDIF
IF @userid = "COMMSYNC" = 1
USE D: "\\Server3\VOL3\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("SERVICE GROUP") = 1
USE S: "\\Server4\SERVGRP\"
ENDIF
IF @userid = "user3" = 1
USE M: "\\Server1\VISTA\"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP("ESTIMATING") = 1
USE O: "\\Server1\SSTEEL\"
USE M: "\\Server1\MECHANIC\"
USE T: "\\Server1\TFWPLMB\"
USE U: "\\Server1\ELECTRIC\"
USe Q: "\\Server1\TFWELEC\"
USE P: "\\Server1\MACHINER\"
ENDIF

IF @userid = "user1" OR @userid = "user2" = 1
USE P: "\\Server1\share$\"
ENDIF

? "HELLO, " @userid

SLEEP 1

EXIT

I mean: Start windows. Do NOT log in when you get the login-screen (just press ESC). Now open the dialup dialog, and make the connection to the network. You will get a network-login screen (because you where not already logged in), and now you log in. It's a weird procedure I know but the network-script doesn't run if you're already logged in before dialing in.

I predict a loginscript in your near future...

Thanks to everyone for your help. It is working now. Fuentes, you were right - when my home Internet account was having me log on, I would say OK instead of cancelling through the network logon dialog it was throwing me. Once I hit cancel like I should, it didn't cache my domain info so when I disconnected from the Internet and wanted to login to the office, the script ran fine. I don't like how that works and I wish there was a way to change it. If there is a no known "solution" instead of workaround, please let me know. Again, thanks for all the help.
