Well...I *thought* I had read where Kixtart would use the default directory, which I *thought* was NETLOGON, as one is logging on.

I made the change you suggested. And it works. That's the *good* news. (Thanks! )

No, no *bad* news. Exactly. But I do wonder...

My logged data goes to a share I map, temporarily, just to grab the data. So I can't put my "switch" files there, as the share isn't available until I map it, and I don't want to map it if I'm not going to run the script.

So I used the domain controller, the NETLOGON share. But I only test for my switch files on *ONE* controller. And isn't the idea of multiple controllers to share the load, not just be a spare in case one barfs? So what happens when the controller I've coded in my script is too busy to authenticate me? And I get pushed off on to the other? Does my script hang until the controller it's looking at gets to me?

I don't know the answers. I'm just asking. Perhaps I need to find a better location to place my switch files. Somewhere that's always available. (Well, unless the server barfs, that is.)
