freddie_26 freddie_26 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2009-08-05 Posts: 11 Loc: Canada	I have written a kixscript that works well, however, when i work at different office i have to manually run the script when i log on for some reason. The thing at one office i have a static IP at the other office its dhcp. Not sure what i could do to correct this that when i log on from either office the script runs Anyway help will be appreciated

If it's the former then you need to look at the order that the logon processing takes - for example if you don't get network resources until afrer you log on (for example because your wireless authentication is based on your used id) then you'll have problems running logon scripts. If it's the latter then good error trapping and reporting in the script will help isolate the problem. Also consider looking up RunLogonScriptSync and see if that helps.

As i explain we have two offices which user frequently moved from one office to the other. Users that receive DHCP address have no issues. Users that have Static IP address and have to change to DHCP, the script does not run. It has to be manually run, then all drives are mapped. Is there something that i should add to my script in regards to IP address or domain server?

Transferring all users to DHCP should fix your issue if both IP ranges are not the same. Users that have a fixed IP cannot access the server in the DHCP office if the IP ranges do not "fit". _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

What happens if they immediately log off and back on after changing to DHCP? Using static IPs on workstations is a very poor design, and on laptops even more so. Use DHCP in both locations for all workstations and take a few moments to set up reservations at the site where static addresses are needed. Simple, effective, and the pain is limited to the 5 minutes of admin time needed to create a few reservations. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
