Hi,
I am a newbie here.
Before i go to my question, i will describe the network structure first.
  • We use NT Server 4.0 as our server
  • We have a PDC on our HQ (let's call it HQ) and a BDC at our branch (let's call it BR).
  • On Both places, we have clients with OS vary from DOS 5.0 to Windows XP.
  • We use fixed IP to identify our workstations and servers, 192.168.1.X (for HQ) and 192.168.2.X (for BR) except for DOS.
  • On both places, we had login script:
    HQ - NET USE G: \\PDC\DATA
    BR - NET USE G: \\BDC\DATA
  • WAN communication from HQ to BR (VV) we use L/C (only 128 kbps).
Now the question are as follows :
  • I want to grab the correct login script. ex. When i am at HQ, i want to to run login script at HQ. Somebody tell me, i can just use KiXtart to overcome this problem, and i found it really help me (I use @IPADDRESS0 to identify where am i now and use SHELL to execute the right NET USE). Everything works well except for DOS workstation since they don't have IP Address. How do i overcome this ?
  • Since the size of KIX32 is about 230KBytes, while our WAN bandwidth is only 128 kbps and we have a lot of workstation on both places, how do i tell the server to grab the correct KIX32 to save our bandwidth. ex. when i am at HQ, it will run KIX32 from HQ. How do i overcome this (i don't want to copied it to every station manually)?
