Guys,

Individually in the account (profile), I normally would put the following:

kix32 login.kix.


But what if I want to place the script when users are logon via GPO. I added a GPO in one of the OUs. Then go to User Configuration --> Windows Settings--> Scripts-->Logon. I added with the same syntax (I copied the login.kix to the Logon directory of the policy).

How do I go about doing this? I am using Kixtart 2001 Release Canidate 3 (version 4) LOL!!!

Thanks,
Tnt

Not positive i know exactly what you are after, but this is one method of calling a kix script via GPOs':

1) Create and link the GPO to an OU, ensuring the USER accounts (as opposed to computer accounts) are under the OU, or you set the GPO to target a group of users.

2) Edit the GPO (User Configuration --> Windows Settings--> Scripts-->Logon) and add the path of the script. The way i do it at work is to simply add 'global.bat'. It by default checks the NETLOGON share of the Domain controller for global.bat, and launches it. Global.bat calls kix32 + the script.

Are you having any problems with what you previously described? you sort of described how to do it, and then asked how to do it. Having done what you described, is the script not launching?

Also, You copied login.kix where? do you mean.. \\domain\sysvol\domain\policies\[policy folder] ? You should probably be sticking any logon scripts under \\domaincontroller\Netlogon

ludeod,

Thank you so much for your reply. Originally I placed the login.kix at the NETLOGON and then at the \domain\sysvol\domain\policies\9113xxxx\User\Scripts\Logon.

They don't seem to work. My mistake is on the script name, I wasn't sure how to tell kix32 to initiate the script. I just place it as "login.kix" and then "kix32 login.kix".

So you basically putting a "Global.bat" at the script name? Did you have to place it at the logon folder of the policy as well?

Thanks,
Tnt

There is a FAQ on this.
