Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	also, documentation info: quote: 1. Use NewProf.exe This utility ships with Microsoft Outlook. Instructions on using it can be found in the MSDN Library, under the topic "Creating a Profile with NEWPROF". For additional information, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q145905 XCLN: Newprof.exe Command-Line Options Q148664 XCLN: Description of the Profile Descriptor File from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q306962 this actually means, you have two or three choices: 1. search the tools from exchange CD's 2. get it from outlook shipping 3. get it from microsofts support site cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet

gregb gregb Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-08 Posts: 21	Thanks but it still doesn't work during the login procedure ! Thats Roaming user profiles for you. Must be something to do with :- Quote from SEALEOPARD -"It might also be a problem with the user registry not yet fully loaded when the script is running." I think I might have to see if there is another way. Maybe through the 'startup' group.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	greg, if it works your way after logging on, you can also do: -create a script at netlogon having these lines: $nothing=setconsole("hide") sleep 3 run "%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c c:\createprf.exe @fullname -Mailbox=emailserver\@userid -default" -in your logonscript put at the end the line: run "kix.exe "+@ldrive+"\thatscript.kix" this makes the logon process to end and all other stuff gets loaded. after the three seconds the registry should be there... cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet

I have a loginscript that has only got this in it - %0\..\kix32.exe %0\..\script1.KIX In the KIX script file I have :- $nothing=setconsole("hide") sleep 3 run "%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c c:\createprf.exe @fullname -Mailbox=emailserver\@userid -default" exit --------- Is anyone out there using roaming user profiles for WIN98 machines ?

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	yeah... so, you don't have kix script! then it's little different. leave that kix-part the same but do like: start %0\..\kix32.exe %0\..\script1.KIX the point is to exit that batch file some seconds before kix starts the execution. at the kix-script you could grow the sleep to 5 or 10 to see that it really is open after the login window has finished. cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet

gregb gregb Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-08 Posts: 21	I put a START in the login script as you suggested and it WORKS BUT now I am getting an 'Illegal operation' on the WIN98 pc. "KIX32 caaused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL ..." ( If I remove the START then I do not get an 'illegal operation' but the script dosen't work) Gee If it's not one thing it's another !

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	mmm... have time to try. put this to batch: %comspec% /c start %0\..\kix32.exe %0\..\script1.KIX and what it does then? also a good try is to use wkix instead of kix as they behave differently to calling process... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

gregb gregb Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-08 Posts: 21	YES YES YES !!! Your blood is worth bottling. The WKIX32.exe did the trick. I didn't even see that version there. Why are there two versions ( KIX32 & WKIX32) and what did you mean when you said "yeah... so, you don't have kix script!" ? Thanks for your help. Greg

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I ment that you are running this directly from batch, not inside kix-logonscript. if you read the manual, you'll find out, wkix-is like windowless kix. it's more like pure windows app... well, read the manual and you will see the difference. actually, if you use wkix, you can reduce your script to: sleep 3 run "%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c c:\createprf.exe @fullname -Mailbox=emailserver\@userid -default" exit 0 and call it in the batch-file like: %0\..\wkix32.exe -I %0\..\script1.KIX then it opens without window. cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet

gregb gregb Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-08 Posts: 21	I'm back !!! It's was working fine BUT I had to do a reload of the O/S on that test PC and now I am getting an Exception error. "Fatal Expection Occurred. Error : (0x00000005/- 1073741819) " This occurs when I try to access KXRPC macros like @FULLNAME. Any suggestions ? I am begining to think is it all worth while ? I found a POST that referenced this error but they did not say anything that we are not already doing. Thanks ps. The KRPC server was also reboot - but script is working for winxp client.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	hey, does it come from that second script or the actual logonscript? also, what is the kix-build? if it comes just from the other script, I write you a script to go around that problem. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Rather than spawn another script at the end of the logon, put a call to it in the RunOnce key of the registry. Wintendos have problems with the redirector and do a smoke and mirrors with a Z: drive during logon. When the logon is finished, the Z: drive is broken down. If a script is still running, it can cause that sort of error. See also, the FAQ Topic: Sequence of events during logon _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
