Ok the bat file fires upo just fine as does the kix script, it is a sporadic problem that happens maybe 1 out of 4 or 5 logons, making it a pain to troubleshoot! The scripts are replicating fine we don't have any replication issues, and the problem ONLY affects WinXP workstations, we have over 230 w2k workstations that work just fine. I'm going to move the offending PC's to an OU where no scripts run and see what happens

Cheers
