Hi

I know this type of problem has been posted many times but here we go again.

I have 5 NT4 Domain Controllers running KIX3.63, with no KIXRPC service. I have 200 Win95 clients who run the logon script from a DC. The logon script runs OK until the final stages where the log files are created.

During the final stages an illegal operation occurs, I have checked that all DC servers have the same KIX version, I do not believe I need the KIXRPC service, has anyone got any suggestions for possible workaround.

Kix batch program 'fhdckix.bat' below
code:
  
@ECHO OFF
%0\..\kix32 %0\..\fhdc.kix
exit
Kix Script 'fhdc.kix' below
