1. The first SHELL command returns nothing, e.g., SHELL "Winset.exe USERNAME=@USERID" returns nothing, but adding it a second time in the script file makes it work.

2. There are several commands that still return nothing. For example, the following commands return nothing:

SHELL "Winset.exe DOMAIN=@DOMAIN"
SHELL "Winset.exe COMMENT=@COMMENT"
SHELL "Winset.exe FULLNAME=@FULLNAME"

3. Unless I use start /w kix32 script.scr in the batch file, I have to click Cancel to terminate the login processor.

The KXRPC service is running on my server and the DLLs (kx16.dll, kx32.dll, kx95.dll) have been copied to C:\Windows\system.

Has anyone else run into similar issues and found a solution? Even though it shouldn't matter, I am running Windows Me French and the server is Windows Nt SP6a English.

TIA

Bonjour, to the board.

Which Kixtart version you are running?

The French language will not be any problem for kixtart. Kixtart will return
the values you are requesting, but the issue about setting environment was
always a item for discussion on the board.
For using an environment variable in the current environment you need to
use kixtart command setl.

Do you get any result with f.e. following code?

code:

---

 ? "domain   "+@domain
 ? "comment  "+@comment
 ? "fullname "+@fullname
 SHELL "%comspec% /c set" 
 SETL  "domain1=@domain -"
 SETL  "comment1=@comment -"
 SETL  "fullname1=@fullname -"
 SHELL "%comspec% /c set"

---

code:

---

winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
TEMP=C:\temp
TMP=c:\temp
PROMPT=$t$h$h$h $p$g
DIRCMD=/l /o:n
USER=MCA
windir=C:\WINDOWS
DOMAIN1= -
COMMENT1= -
FULLNAME1= -

I added a line to display the @userid to your code. The user name is displayed when I run it from a DOS window, but it is blank if I run it at login time.

I am currently using version 2001 RC3, but I also tried 3.63 with the same results.

What do you me Windows ME doesn't return anything?
Don't you see something like "domain1= -" as an environment variable.
or you mean: you don't see something like "domain1=my_domain -".

It can be possible that Windows ME doesn't return anything because it is
a Windows 9x clone. Start temporarily the KIXRPC service to check the diffe-
rences.

Greetings.

Thanks for the support.
