Hi all,

we have a very simple script with kix4.02 running on our domain with W95,98,NT4 and W2k clients. All is good so far, maybe not perfect (for others) but it's working...

One problem we have now is to map to a Samba Share on a Unix machine, using the usual command for mapping a drive:

SHELL "%COMSPEC% /C net use T: /DELETE /YES >> c:\login.log"
SLEEP 1
SHELL "%COMSPEC% /C net use T: \\SERVER\SHARE >> c:\login.log"
SLEEP 1

In a DOS-Box all is working fine, drive is mapped, or it's not mapped with a non permission error (groups don't exist on our NT4 PDC/BDC). So all is fine so far.

When running this map from the server side login script, the script simply hangs, the window stays open, nothing else (errors are hidden from users).

This is because the map to samba when executed from the server side asks for a password which he won't ask when executed from the DOS-Box.

Guess there is a difference in some kind here between the DOS-Box when already logged on and the server side script when not completely logged on.

Anyone experienced a similar problem maybe and is able to give me some help?

Thank you kindly,

Pete
