The script appears to run for everyone else (Hello World script) via Kix32 (4.21) but not for this one user on any machine. The user is a domain admin. The network is NT4 based, the clients are all W2K or XP. I can't seem to trap the error, it flashes by too fast and ignores BREAK ON and DEBUG ON entirely. I can run it after the logon manually and it works, but not during the logon. _________________________ silence is golden, but duct tape is silver

Wearing my shoes out doing "personal support" stuff. By the way, I had another user testing out their own Kix script with a bunch of Select Case statements. They're trying to do drive and printer mappings by user name on 350 users. THe script ends up being around 1500 lines. The problem seems to be that users more than 1/3rd the way down don't even get evaluated and the script jumps right to Case 1 at the end. Is there a maximum length or memory stack for SELECT expressions? The @userid values match up, which was evident when we moved a user up to the top and they were evaluated properly. Just curious.

I'm sure you guys know what it's like to run around to tend to 450 users screaming to their managers that IT is once again the source of all evil. I finally got a chance to sit back down at my computer and try this. The logon.bat works fine for the user. It's only Kix32 that doesn't (at least it appears that way). What do I try next? _________________________ silence is golden, but duct tape is silver

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11164 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Put the drive mappings into an .INI file based on group or usernames, e.g. code: [user1] d=\\server\share [user2] e=\\server1\share1 or similar. However, I'd avise to use groups and not users. With regards to the batch file, hardcode the location of the executable and the script like this code: %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\kix32 %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\script.kix or search the board for 'overkill' in the subject line. This will get you to a thread discussing multiple options on starting KiXtart login scripts. All these things have already been discussed before, so please use the BBS Search to retreive similar threads. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Skatterbrainz Skatterbrainz Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-10-17 Posts: 172 Loc: Virginia, USA	Ok, is there a tool out there to quickly scan and validate a kix script file for things like missing quotes or parenthesis? I'm using TextPad 4.7 for all my editing chores, but it only matches selected chars, it won't balance out a whole document to find unterminated strings. I'm open to any suggestions obviously. _________________________ silence is golden, but duct tape is silver

Skatterbrainz Skatterbrainz Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-10-17 Posts: 172 Loc: Virginia, USA	Sorry guys, I had to go home. 12 hours of running around wore me (and my ears) out. A few beers and a couple of hours of sleep and I'm back fresh again! I found the culprit! It wasnt' the script or Kix or the user profile. It was NTFRS and latency between sites. Some of the DC servers weren't updating there cache of scripts and the user was hitting a remote DC at logon for some reason. I guess it took a day to catch up, but now they're fine. The replication logs showed the delay in catching up. Oh yeah: Thanks to Sealeopard for pointing me to KixStrip !!! That helped fix the other script problem. [ 21.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	it's good to have your logonscript write out the info of what it does. like, from where it was started and what is going wrong. this way the trace is lot easier. also, as addition to kixstrip, you could check on PostPrep 1.0.2 as it colorizes the syntax, missing quotes and alike are really easy to trace. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	I agree.. Also - Ultraedit, EditPad, TextPad have KiXtart syntax schemes you can add in. These are not freeware programs, but maybe worth it. Additionally, if you want to get a neat little batch script to run KiXstrip - How do we check and format code for scripts?
