#119743 - 2004-05-18 02:26 PM Batch file?
dcarr dcarr Getting the hang of it Registered: 2004-05-10 Posts: 62	I have a batch file that I want to use to call a login script for windows 95 clients. The batch file resides in the netlogon share on the domain controller. The netlogon is pointing to c:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol. Within the netlogon I have placed the kix files that are required. However, when I attempt to login to the client the batch file is unable to find and open the script. Can someone please tell me what I should have for the line in the batch file? The domain controller is named nw2ohs, the script is named livscript.kix? At present I have %0\..\Kix32 %0\livscript.exe and the batch file is entitled livscript.bat and is called from the user profile within AD? Thanks

Z:\KiX32.EX Z:\Script.KiX THere are lots of logon.bat examples already posted on the board. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

dcarr dcarr Getting the hang of it Registered: 2004-05-10 Posts: 62	Les, I appreciate your comments and please be assured I have reviewed these. At present I am calling a batch file from the user profile, which appears to run but does not process the line in the script? %0\..\kix32 livscript.kix When I log on a message reads "Script error: failed to find/Open script!."???? Do I need to specify the full path? It is rather bizarre as if I bypass the error message, go to Network Neighbourhood, browse the Domain, Double click on the Domain controller, I can see the Netlogon share and I can see the scripts and the Kix files. If I then double click on the batch file the drives map as they should?

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	We ran into the same problem when we went to AD and resolved it by using Z:. I already gave an example, how hard can it be to try it. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	as long as your script and kix are both in the logonscript dir, the %0 way and z-way are fine. z:\kix32 z:\myscript.kix if it has problems with either one, check the extension of the file again. like, if you edited the file with notepad, it probably named it: myscript.kix.txt _________________________ ! download KiXnet
