I followed a Sample script that was posted on another site, and now this script does not work right...
Some users aren't getting their S drives, some aren't mapping the alternate group mappings...and others work fine if I browse to the Netlogon share and run it manually. Workstations are a mix of 9x, w2k and xp, AD domain. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to this either.

You should metion which version(s) of KiXtart you are running on the clients, and which version(s) of the RPC service you are running on the login server(s).

As a start, after each "USE", check the value of @ERROR and report an error if it is set.

To reduce the amount of work (and make it easier for yourself in the future) use UDF's for common tasks like drive mapping and updating the message text. This will simplify the script, make it less prone to error and save you a lot of aggravation when you need to make changes.

For example, you could pass the group, drive letter, mapping and display comment to a UDF. The UDF will do the INGROUP check, display, mapping and checking of the success in one neat area.

Something simple like:
code:
Function MapDrive($sGroup,$sDrive,$sUNC,$sComment)
   If InGroup($sGroup)
      $sComment+@CRLF
      Use $sDrive /Delete /Persistent
      Use $sDrive $sUNC
      If @ERROR
         $=MessageBox("Cannot map "+$sDrive+" to "+$sUNC+@CRLF+@SERROR,"Map drive failure,48)
      EndIf
   EndIf
EndFunction
You can now simplify your code to:
code:
MapDrive("Admitting","S:",$server1+"Admitting","Mapping departmental drive")
MapDrive("AidsCare","S:",$server1+"AidsCare","Mapping departmental drive")
MapDrive("CTS","R:",$server1+"CTS","Mapping additional drives")
And so-on.

In your drive mappings, you could have one simple -

code:
CLS
At (13,30) "Mapping Departmental Drives"
The section "Mapping additional Drives" is not really necessary, is it?

For example, you could cover this with -
code:
If InGroup ("Medical Records")
  Use k: $server5 + "Apps" /persistent
  Use L: $server5 + "Apps" /persistent
  Use m: $server1 + "3MHIS" 
  Use s: $server1 + "MedRec"
EndIf
Note: persistent is not persistant.

Also, with your IF INGROUP testing, you could simplify this with a SELECT..CASE INGROUP..ENDSELECT. The catch to this is that if you have any users that share multiple groups the SELECT..CASE.ENDSELECT will exit on the first true condition.

Please post you code using the "Code" button on the posting window.

Thanks,

Kent

If the script runs every time when launched manually after logon, then it can't be the script. Well, not quite, the is the issue of Wintendos and HKCU. See the FAQ section.

As for 'SetTime $Server3', in an AD environment, you must not intervene. AD does it's own timesync.

You also failed to post the logon.bat file you use to launch KiX, nor do you mention if KiX is run locally or from the \NetLogon share. It is also important to know if you have any other protcols and clients like NetWare.

One additional thought from the KiXtart Documentation -

quote:

On Windows 9x clients, INGROUP works on local groups only if the KiXtart RPC service is running.
Again, this is covered in the FAQ Forum on this website.

Why would you map a drive Persistent in a logon script? I mean, it maps on every logon. Additionally, if you map persistent, you also need to delete using the /Persistent switch.

Thanks for all the suggestions, obviously this needs work, and I am still a bit new to this. The version of kix is 4.20, kxrpc is 4.1.0, I have a batch script running now to deploy the rpc service to the 9x machines.
I guess I should look more at UDFs to simplify things first, alot of what is in here is from what someone else was doing in a .bat file, so I just duplicated it here (timesync, persistent mappings, etc).
Where is the best place to get more info on UDFs? I'm not exactly sure how they even work at this point...

Thanks again.

Please read the FAQ Forum. Teh KiXtart RPC Service needs to be installed onthe domain controllers, not the clients. This is documented in the KiXtart Manual and the FAQ Forum. Please read them as they contain valuable information for your situation and they will answer a lot of the questions that will come up. So, be proactive.

Why does the FAQ forum suggest that the rpc service can be installed on EITHER workstation or Domain controller? Does it just need to be in the netlogon directory, or do you need to regsrv the DLLs?

Please provide a link (and maybe a quote) to the alleged FAQ.

THe KXRPC service does not go in NetLogon and NO you do not register any DLLs.

KXRPC is an program that runs as an NT service. It does not require the KX??.DLLs.

The KXRPC service is best if installed on your logon domain DCs, but can be installed on an NT workstation if you direct the Win9x clients to this device. This is discussed in the KiXtart Manual.

Win9x clients query domain information via the kx95.dll which communicates with the KXRPC service. You have various methods to configure the client to tell it where the KXRPC service is located. KiXtart will look for the KXRPC service on the logon server by default. Again see the manual.

Win9x can run an NT service anyway.

OK, I had my files confused, I currently have the kix32.exe and the required DLLs being copied to the windows directory on the 9x workstations, and to the systemroot of nt systems. I also went back and RE-READ the manual and found the info on installing the RPC service(Way in the back of the manual). So the RPC service is currently running on the logon servers. This alone should help with some of my issues.
What I'm not clear on from the manual, is how to deal with group memberships in 9x environment, Will the rpc service allow me to use my Domain group names for mapping 9x systems?
Thanks again...

As is mentioned in the manual, the KXRPC service is not needed for Domain Global groups, only for Local groups.

So you tell us what you have in your script, Global or Local groups?

There are other factors such as protocols and provider order that can cause InGroup() to fail so you need to test and validate.

All my groups are global, we do have some workstations with Novell client running IPX. We are in the process of migrating from Novell to W2K.

Sad that this thread had to go to 14 posts before that info was drawn out of you. Once again, I refer you to the manual where provider order is discussed. Feel free as well to search the VERY FINE board as this has been discussed here often.
