#98446 - 2003-02-16 08:48 PM weird issue with v4.12
RobinHood RobinHood Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-10-11 Posts: 29	Hi , has anyone had weird issues with v4.12? We're starting up an AD and were happily using the kix32.exe from v4.12. All the suddenly i received a call telling that the script no longer functioned. Bizarely the kix2.exe doesn't do anything at all anymore. Seems that the contents from the executable that was stored in the netlogon dir has been altered. The filesize doesn't show anby visible differences as long as the file is uncompressed. Compressed it's only half as big in size compared to the original as downloaded directly from kixtart.org. Anyone has a clue ( AD policies / other stuff that could've gone wrong )? All clues are welcome, Edwin

RobinHood RobinHood Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-10-11 Posts: 29	Hi, when i replace the executable with a newly downloaded one all works fine. For some wicked reason the affected executable seems to have become an empty shell. Ran it through AVP / Panda & McAfee ( all with the latest virus signatures ) and none detected anything bizarre at all. Uncompressed size is equal. If you compress them ( the new & the affected instance ) you see a difference from over 100000 bytes on the affected one. Someone playing around is almost unbelievable since only 5 persons have knowledge of the credentials needed to gain write access to the netlogon dir. With our won credentials we get a royal access denied when attemting to write anyting into the netlogon dir.

RobinHood RobinHood Fresh Scripter Registered: 2001-10-11 Posts: 29	MCA, thanks for the suggestion but the problem did not occur immediately after the install. The setup ran fine for a week and then suddenly it stopped working. This has nothing to do with the way we installed it.

It is only another way to do it and to get more information about the installation. The possible problem could be created - by a virus - when your kixtart binaries become corrupt. corrupt after f.e. bad sectors on your harddisk. Possible that you have invest the replaced file(s). greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA
