Puuuh, i'm not sure there is, most users resides in about 20 to 25 groups.
But why would you place yourself in 120 groups?
As an administrator you can get everywhere you want????

ok i have to set some of my reply right:

Non-analistic - just saw the size ; no valuation of Your work.

(we have also a logon-script firstly invented
by a KIX-crack, then ,over the Years ,disfigured by others....(23k of sheer madness)
glad to be not responsible)

please don't take me wrong
keep on scripting

What I am thinking is you are implicitly creating a new path that contains an old DLL in it or more likely you are disconnecting a path that contains a required DLL. You know the missing DLL doesn't have to be a Kix DLL either. If you are using some kind of shared version of Windows you might be disconnecting a key system DLL.

About limits to the number of groups - it seems to me that if you have exceeded an kxrpc limit its impact should be more wide spread & effect more users than just you. It is my experience that kix is very linear in the way it approaches things - it doesn't tend to load & track complex lookup tables - it processes commands one at a time and carries over nothing to the next command. Kix is much like the old BASIC interpretative compiler or like the DOS command processor. It is very hard to overwhelm them because they take such a simple & straight forward approach to everything.

Monday I'll continu testing.
I did the test on myself, putting myself in 5
groups. Now I can log on. after adding over
120 groups hte proble reappeared. Even at
other worksstations.
Next thing is to use an account of a normal
user and see in how many groups it is.
Then I keep adding groups in alphabetic order
to see at what point and if the error
reoccurs. You'll hear from me.

Jochen:
I'll keep on scripting. Problems are welcome.

Minkels:
You're right about the administrator thing.
But I put myself in all groups for testing.

JackLothian:
I don't think it has something to do with
connecting / diconnecting drives. But I'll
post my test result here.

I have done some testing myself.
At our test domain i created about 200 global groups, added my testaccount to all of them and used my standard loginscript (with some InGroup-commands). And guess what? No problems at all, the script runs, doing what it is supposed to and ends normally. I'm using Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 9x (OSR2.x) clients.

So, i wondering if your tests will show a different situation.

I'll be back.....

Greetings.

Here are my test results:

User rutten added to 124 global groups: Log on OK
User testnt added to 124 global groups: Log on OK

User rutten added to 125 global groups: Error occurred
User testnt added to 125 global groups: Error occurred

The error occurred on different workstations!!! I didn't test it on NT.
In my script I don't test for local groups. So I haven't tested this either.

Putting myself in 124 global groups and 7 local groups worked.
adding 1 global group failed.

Can anyone else do some tests??????

GertJan:
Did you wait for or force the replication of the SAM?

Our test-domain has only a primary domain controller, so an synchronize isn't necessary. The PDC is an Compaq Proliant 1500 with 256 Mb. memory and running KXRPC version 3.60.

Again i've tried to generate the error using a Windows 95 client (Kix32.exe and it's DLL's copied local) and again no problems occured. The login-procedure ended correctly (by processing all lines in the script).

It seems to me that KXRPC has no limitations whatsoever.
