I have tried to incorporate all the issues that I have found. Many of these tips are found in the manual.
Things to watch out for.
1. Variables longer than 14 characters will be truncated in the kixtart script
2. Watch out for long files names for batch files. Remember DOS sees 8.3 characters.
3. Use the SET command in the batch file. This forces the kixtart program to be executed on specific NT Servers that have the KIXRPC service installed.
SET KXRPC=\\Server_name1, \\Server_name2
4. Create an KIXTART.INI file and place it in the C:\Windows and NETLOGON directories
[KXRPCMapping]
;MyDomain=\\MyServer1,\\MyServer2
\\YourDomain=\\KXRPC_NTServer
Default=\\KXRPC_NTServer Default= is used for all unknown Workgroups or Domains to a specific KXRPC server
5. No spaces in the User Manager account details profile.
6. Copy KIX??.DLL to the C:\Windows directory and also include KIX32.EXE. Will speed up login script performance and corrects timeout issues.
7. If you had previously installed Novell Client on the workstation, do the following:
Change the Primary Network Load Order to Microsoft Client in Control Panel\Network
Modify the following in Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSNP32\Network Provider CallOrder[00 00 00 40] to [00 00 00 20]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NOVELLNP\Network Provider CallOrder[00 00 00 20] to [00 00 00 40]
8. Use WINSET instead of SET
9. Install the KXRPC service on all NT Servers that are connected to the Domain
10.Make sure that you are using the correct version of DLL's, KIX32.EXE and KXRPC.EXE
11.NETLOGON directories are not setup as shares
12.DirSync is not working properly, so the script and batch files are not replicating correctly.
