outradgus outradgus Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-25 Posts: 14 Loc: Baltimore	In usmgr I have a bat file called log.bat (contents below) %0\..\wkix32.exe %0\..\hello.kix This calls (hello.kix) from the netlogon shares from all DC with RPC loaded as a service Kix ver 4.20 HELLO.KIX contents----- ------------------------------------------------- SHELL "winset.exe HOMEDIR=@USERID" IF INGROUP("pro\G-Linthicum_Users") USE G: "\\PMDUSLINFILE01\@USERID$" USE M: "\\PMDUSLINFILE01\share" USE W: "\\PMDUSLINFILE01\WINAPPS" ?"print this statement" ENDIF ----------------------------------------------- Its just a small script mapping some drives according to a Win2k Domain - When logging on to Win98- Its says loading login script but no mappings ever occur- But- when going to the same win98 pc and opening Network Nei to the DC netlogon share and running the BAT file manually IT WORKS FINE> DOes anyone have any suggestions on why this is? Thanks Dave

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	WKiX is async and as such will not hold the logon.bat file. Wintendos do a smoke and mirrors thing with a Z: drive to overcome redirector limitations. If the logon.bat is not held, the redirector will tear down the temporary Z: drive resulting in errors. For that reason, it is necessary to hold WKiX with Start /Wait. This issue has been documented before. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

outradgus outradgus Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-25 Posts: 14 Loc: Baltimore	I edited my log.bat file that should be call to Log.bat ------------------ start /wait z:\wkix32 z:\hello.kix ____________________________________ I think this is your suggestion, but this did not start the script either. Also now when I run it manually it doesn't run either. Am I typing this correctly? DO I have to set a variable up for Z:/ ??? THanks for all the help.. Someday I hope to get this thing running.. :-) Dave

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Forget the Z: stuff. Did you not read what I said? The redirector sets up the Z: drive during logon and tears it down afterwards so of course it would not work if you test it manually. For Wintendo, try: Start /Wait %0\..\wkix32.exe %0\..\hello.kix _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

outradgus outradgus Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-25 Posts: 14 Loc: Baltimore	I go this part to work using ---------------- START /WAIT %0\..\wkix32.exe %0\..\hello.kix ------------------------------- Thanks for all who looked at this-- my next problem is that WINSET is not setting the variable so I can use IN GROUP command. Can someone look at my script above and give me a clue?? WHat I did is REM'd out the IN Group to test it and the drives mapped. When I put the USE ... commands within the IN GROUP loop it doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution?? I think its something with the WINSET command not loading Any insight is greatly appreciated!!!! thanks

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	You don't need WINSET with KiX 4.20. You need to test if/why INGROUP works/doesn't. Also, try formatting the line like this: USE G: '\\PMDUSLINFILE01\'+@USERID+'$$' _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	jens, I have to agree! and watching the logon.bat... he will have some problems elsewhere, that's sure. so, back to manual. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

outradgus outradgus Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-25 Posts: 14 Loc: Baltimore	Thanks for all the quick response- I did change the environment accordingly. Kix on W98 is still having issues. I have installed kix32 ver 4.20 on my Win2k domain and copied dll's kx32,kx16,and kx95 to the c:\windows dir locally. I installed all other dll, exe's on the netlogon shares of all DC's in domain. I did a kxrpc -install and have the service running for RPC on all DC's. I ran kix32 script.kix /r=elir (tried them all) - Made INI to registry keys with no luck. When I log into the W98 pc, the login script runs but nothing that's in the IN GROUP loop will execute unless I go out to the netlogon share and do it manually (this works). I do get (Failed to load KX32.dll) in the KiXtart.log file, figuring it can't find RPC server which I pointed it to with the /r=L switch. Below is a test environment. I hate to keep asking and I read the manuals which I tried their solutions, but I look for superior knowledge of the pro's. ------log.bat----- START /WAIT %0\..\wkix32.exe %0\..\hello.kix /r=il -------------------------------- --------hello.kix--------------- SHELL "winset.exe USERNAME=@USERID" IF INGROUP("PRO\Administrators") ?"print this statement" sleep 5 ENDIF IF @ERROR=o ?@ERROR ;(this always prints 0-no errors) ENDIF ------------------------------------------------- -------KiXtart.ini---------------------- [KXRPCMapping] PRO=\\pmdusrepdc01 Default=\\pmdusrepdc01 ------------------------------------------------- W2k Works fine and again W9x works fine when manually run from Netlogon. Thanks for all your insight Dave KiX amatuer..

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	First of all, get rid of the DLLs on the local computers. Secondly, is the KXRPC.EXE in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 and is the service actually running? Then put the KIX32.EXE, KX*.DLLs and WKIX32.EXE into the NETLOGON folders and check whether you have replication enabled. Then create a simple batch file calling the KIX32.EXE and the KiXtart script. Check whether KiXtart is actually running. Verify each step. code: %0\..\KIX32.EXE %0\..\login.kix code: ? 'KiXtart v'+@KIX ? 'Press any key' get $a _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Are you running any extra protocols like IPX or NetBEUI? Any other clients like NetWare? Double-check the versions on the DLLs. KX95.DLL is the one that talks to the RPC service. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
