I'm working with a customer that has two NT 4.0 SP/6a DC's. If they get validated by the BDC the Kixtart script runs and maps the drives to both of their file servers with no error. If they get validated by the PDC then the drive mapping works but the mapping to the other file server fails with an event ID of 0 and an error that it failed to set the DACL.
If you map the drive with a NET USE from the client you can map with no problem. Have had them upgrade to version 4.21 but it still fails.
Does anyone know what the cause of the error is or what the workaround was that is part of the 4.02 upgrade where this problem was first resolved ?

Thanks!

before shooting at the actual problem you have...
there was no actual "fix"...

just a change of "methods" of doing things.
as ruud (kixtart developer) says:

btw, this is NT specific stuff.
and afaik, occured only after sp4.

my shoot is, if you don't get any solving responses, mail to ruud (at his work mail) and you will most likely get the best support [Wink]

Eurekaa!!!! This morning we have the answer to our woes.

The PDC had KIX version 4.1 which is a our DC and didn't give the drive mappings to users. On the BDC we had KIX version 3.62 and that's the DC which gave the drive mappings without a problem. When we upgraded both DCs KIX to version 4.21 none of the DCs gave the drive mappings per Microsoft's Technical Experts, the new version of KIX didn't work and made matters worse. Then this morning we downgraded KIX on both DCs to version 3.62 things went beautifully and users now are getting their drive mappings, Yippeee Kiyahhhhh Cowboy!.

My explanation for this: the Microsoft security patches which we implemented over the last weekend had some dependancy that KIX 4 and higher is sensitive too. Causing a conflict with newer versions of KIX. We will stay with Kix Version 3.62 for now? As to a fix for 4 and higher that's a question for Microsoft to answer. "Deploy and cross your fingers guys"

Questions:

Did the drive mappings not work because ...

a) You have the mappings embedded in INGROUP() statements, that didn't work

b) The NET USE itself didn't work.

Have any clue which security patch caused it ?

Hi Shawn,

Microsoft has a complete dump of all DC's, logs, conifg's. It is up to them now, we have all patches up to todate except yesterdays announcement.

All NT 4.0 SP6a patch before July 5.

good working.
although, I have no idea what causes this, it indeed was kixtart 2001 related.

I still suggest you make a little note to ruudv@microsoft.com about this and explain your situation.
not that he would directly know the answer but he might be interested and as insider talked to dudes having your logs.

anyway, cheers

I would recommend they look at MS01-048. In conjunction with 4.0.1 and 4.2.1.

In order to investigate the issue, I'd really need detailed information on the complete configuration (client OS, KXRPC service version, events logged on client, events logged on server, runtime errors (@ERROR), batchfiles used, scripts used, etc).

As for MS01-48: this is a very old (september 2001) fix, so I assume you installed this long ago, and not just this weekend?

Regards,

Ruud

MS has all the data you asked about. We are awaiting an answer. I will keep everyone posted.
