mmm mmm Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-11-30 Posts: 5	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.

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. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

mmm mmm Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-11-30 Posts: 5	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.

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

mmm mmm Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-11-30 Posts: 5	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.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	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. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	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
