Thanks for all your help guys.

Our PDC is also NT 4.0 SP6a and we have almost every OS MS makes running on our network. None of them have any problems running the KiXtart program.

The only problem we have with Win2k is trying to get the login DOS box come up and be visible, the script works fine, the DOS box just does not come up. See post http://kixtart.org/board/Forum2/HTML/000764.html for further details.

We are running KiXtart v3.63

NTDOC...
The dark side is quicker, easier, more seductive.
If you choose the quick and easy path, you will become an agent of evil.

What kixtart version you are running?
What is the real problem?
Are you call external programs by f.e. run/shell commands?
Please put your script on the board.
Greetings.

Ok I've gotten the script to excecute on my windows 2000 systems but heres the catch. If any of my win2x systems anyone added to any local group the script will not work. It doesnt map anything at all. Please help, heres my script. And the $nul = Setconsole does not work on win2x either.

CLS
$nul = SETCONSOLE("MAXIMIZE")
Color r+/n
big ; Display in BIG character mode
at (2,8) "Hello,"
at (12,10) @userid
sleep 2 ; Wait for 3 secs (or key)

if ingroup("AWELLEDS")=1
use w: \\posserver\wellstore
use s: \\primarynt\inpes32
endif

if ingroup("ARNAGRP")=1
use n: \\rnaserver\rnapgm
endif

if ingroup("AMASTAX")=1
use t: \\rnaserver\rnad
use h: \\posserver\mas90
endif

if ingroup("ARNAMASEDS")=1
use h: \\posserver\mas90
use n: \\rnaserver\rnapgm
use s: \\primarynt\inpes32
endif

if ingroup("AMEDEDS")=1
use m: \\posserver\medicode
use s: \\primarynt\inpes32
endif

if ingroup("ARNAEDS")=1
use n: \\rnaserver\rnapgm
use s: \\primarynt\inpes32
endif

if ingroup("DOMAIN_ADMINS")=1
USE F: \\POSSERVER\UTIL
USE G: \\POSSERVER\CAM3
USE H: \\POSSERVER\MAS90
USE N: \\RNASERVER\RNAPGM
USE P: \\POSSERVER\EVERYONE
USE S: \\PRIMARYNT\INPES32
USE T: \\RNASERVER\RNAD
USE W: \\POSSERVER\WELLSTORE
endif

use I: \\primarynt\public
use J: \\primarynt\private
use q: \\ntproxy\ltc_pharmacy
if exist(@homeshr)
@homeshr
endif
sleep 1
Color r+/n
big ; Display in BIG character mode
at (2,8) "Hello,"
at (12,10) @userid
sleep 2

code:

---

CLS
$nul = SETCONSOLE("MAXIMIZE")
Color r+/n
SMALL ; Display in small character mode for testing
at (2,8) "Hello, @userid"
?   ; add a blank line
IF INGROUP("Domain Admins") = 1
	? "You are a Domain Admin"
ELSE
	? "You are NOT a Domain Admin"
ENDIF

---

This code should work. If this code does not show saying "You are a Domain Admin" (when you are one)
then you must have some other issue related to Windows NT/2000 and not KiXtart.

Make sure you have the same version of KiXtart on PDC and all BDCs and if local, then every machine running v3.63 also.

We have look at your script and we have some remarks about it:

• we advise the usage of IF INGROUP("name") <> 0 instead
  of = 1. When an user isn't member of any kind of group
  the result will be 0.
  
• first map the general mappings i, j & q.
  (see lines 10..12)
  
• you are using the @homeshr macro to change from working
  directory, but you doesn't map it.
  Our suggestion for mapping (Y-drive is our choose to get the script
  working):
  

  code:

  ---

  
   IF (len(@homeshr) > 0)
     use y: "@homeshr" ; <-- f.e. Y-drive will be used as homeshr.
                       ; <-- you can also specified @homedrive value.
                       ; <-- by specification of both the use command
                       ; <-- will be: use @homedrive "@homeshr"
   ENDIF
  

  ---

  
  The statement of @homeshr is something like \\server\user$,
  which isn't a legal chdir statement. The macro @homedrive is
  possible but we advise using - in this case - simply Y: as statement.
  (see lines 13..18, 61..67)
  
• using f.e. use s: \\server\drive twice may abort the script.
  when users are only member of one group you doesn't need additional
  control code.
  (f.e. see lines 37, 42, 47)
  

Code can be (without debug) after reformatting:

code:

Great.
Your result show us that for group "AMASTAX" two NET USE commands

It was a pleasure to help you.
