Hello to everyone,

i've got a problem with running (accessing) a program via the SHELL-command on a network share. The kix-script is running at startup, before logonscreen appears, configed via GPO. The GPO is also configured to wait for the network before startup scripts are running and scripts should run visible (for testing). This is all OK...the script is running and all seems to be OK.

The XPSP2 Client belongs to a W2K3 AD Domain

Now the problem:
the kix script schould run a program via SHELL command e.g.

SHELL \\Servername\Share\file.exe

The share is located on a fileserver belonging to a NT4 Domain with complete trusts to the AD Domain.

This runs perfectly when i test the script while my windows session calling it manually from the logonserver, but if this script runs while booting the Client as startup script, the script is running, but the file is'nt executed.

My suggestion was, that the permissions on the networkshare were wrong, so i've added the Domain Computers Group to the sharefolder with read permissions, but that also did'nt work.
Then i've enabled the security logging on the networkshare to see with which account the client tries to access the share, but the log stays empty! and yes, the logging is ok, cause it logs attempts accessing the share manually via a windwos session.

So it seems the script did not at all access that share. But why ???

Thanks for any answers to my Problem!
