Hi. It seems that the login script does not run after upgrading my workstation to XP SP2. Am in a WinNT domain, using Ver4.0 with simple script line kix32.exe listing_01_4.kix. Is there a setting that needs to be changed in XP ? Thx.

You need to be more specific... "does not run" is insufficient data.

If you are having a problem with bluescreens and reboots, then that is a known issue and the answer can be found on this board.

Very simply, before SP2, I startup computer, the task bar shows script in command window, drives are mapped, etc. Now, no script in task bar, no drive mapping, no nothing.
Hope this is enough info.

No, it is not.

That simple line, is that in a BATch file or in the user's profile?

New Info. I get the following error inside a command window."CMD.EXE was started with above path as current dir.....defaulting to windows dir." Also at Kix32.exe line an error " kix32.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command...or batch file." Seems like the script doesn't run at all. This may even be before SP2.

Sounds like your user's aren't getting their HOMEDRIVE mapping.

Actually, I would like a simple XP script command to run xp workstations in the NT domain, just to get started. Any help would be appreciated.

k, re-reading what you have said.
you have logonscript set as "somelogon.bat"
and in your somelogon.bat you have line:
"%0\..\kix32 %0\..\somestuff.kix"
or:
"kix32 somestuff.kix"

now, what is there?

Might be time to read the FAQ Forum.

Are you in a Windows NT 4.0 Domain or a Windows 2000 Active Directory?

Regardless... either in User Manager for NT or Active Directory Users and Computers MMC for Active Directory for the LOGON SCRIPT use only the following command.

WKIX32.EXE listing_01_4.kix

Make sure that in the NETLOGON directory on the Server that you have both WKIX32.EXE and listing_01_4.kix

That will find and run the script unless you have something very odd going on. That is a rather odd name for the script but that doesn't really matter at this time.

Run that and let us know how it goes.

NOTE: This method will not work for Windows 9x, only NT/2000/XP/2003

I have a xxx.bat file. Am in a WinNT domain, using kixtart Ver4.0. Inside this bat file is line kix32.exe listing_01_4.kix. NEW INFO: removed this line and put in the following line: %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\kix32.EXE %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\listing_01_4.kix. This works however does not work at startup. Works when bat file is called from START...Run line in xp workstation.

My guess is that it is not the call line but rather that the BATch does not even kick at logon. Put a marker in a test.bat and see.

Well there are FAQs and many many topics here on the board as to how to properly call the batch files.

Remember though that unless you still support Windows 9x clients then you DON'T need to use a batch file and are better off not using one.

As for the version of KiXtart I'm sure it has nothing to do with your issues, but there have been many updates and fixes since your version.

2001-11-19 - 4.00 final version (build 62) released

Might not be a bad idea to update to the latest version 4.22
