#69723 - 2002-09-12 08:45 PM Issue with mapdrive on Compressed drive
sphinx sphinx Lurker Registered: 2002-09-12 Posts: 4 Loc: Montreal, Quebec	I used the same Kix script for two years. I tried this script in a new location... It was working fine with W2K but I was not able to disconnect and connect some network drive in NT 4.0. I found finally the problem seam to come from Compressed NTFS Drive on the file server . If the PC doesn't have any network drive mapped it will work a first time but will never work after a logout-login. It will work after a reboot only. Symptom: "use l: /delete" change the network drive to a Remote drive. I'm able to connect and disconnect drive in dos with "Net use" but I'm not able to make it work with Kix. (In scrip, manually or debug mode) Is someone already deal with NTFS compressed drive? Please Help! Config: Windows NT 4.0 SP6a server with NTFS compressed share drive. Windows NT 4.0WS SP6a.

sphinx sphinx Lurker Registered: 2002-09-12 Posts: 4 Loc: Montreal, Quebec	Hi there! You are right, I forgot the /persistent in my previous post. I tryed to enter manual command in the debug mode and I created a UDF but I always obtain the same result. Most of our station here was using Novell client in the past but we de-install them... I wonder if this may be the source of the problem... I will install a fresh NT4.0 and test it... Here is one example of the code I was using before today. :SiteMapping ; REM -- Custom Site Drive mapping routine Montreal DriveID = "K:" $PathID = "\\monmmax1\data" GOSUB MapDrive ; ** Map the ... drive to K: :MapDrive ; REM -- Map Drive (Used in DriveMapping) USE $DriveID /delete /PERSISTENT USE $DriveID $PathID IF @ERROR = 0 ? ? $DriveID " Drive successfully mapped to " $PathID ELSE BEEP ? ? "ERROR: " $DriveID " DRIVE MAPPING TO " $PathID " UNSUCCESSFUL," ? "PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR. " ? "(Press any key to continue)" GET $key ENDIF RETURN _________________________ Sphinx ------------------------ A life full of Mysteries

sphinx sphinx Lurker Registered: 2002-09-12 Posts: 4 Loc: Montreal, Quebec	Sorry I cut the $ when I removed important site related comments. I'm passing the parametter in the same way for all drives. Only the compressed drives or compressed share folders give me the problem. Other examples: $DriveID = "P:" ; ** Map the P: drive to $PathID = "$FPserver\Apps" GOSUB MapDrive Thanks ! _________________________ Sphinx ------------------------ A life full of Mysteries

sphinx sphinx Lurker Registered: 2002-09-12 Posts: 4 Loc: Montreal, Quebec	Hi There ! The Kix script is working fine on a fresh NT4 installation. I will install one by one the MS patch and custom application we have here and try to find the culprit You give me hope and the confirmation it was working somewhere else. Thanks for your feedback. _________________________ Sphinx ------------------------ A life full of Mysteries

Look up the MapDrive or YAMD UDFs in the UDF forum by using the Kixtart search function at http://www.kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=search _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
