When my win2kpro clients log in the login scripts do not run.. (they run fine for NT and 9x)... When I execute the batch file manually, it errors with:
"CMD.EXE was started with '\\domain\netlogon' as the current directory path. UNC paths are not support. Defaulting to Windows directory. Script error: failed to find/open script!"
The scripts run if users log into 9x wks (IOW: not a rights issue)... help..

Make sure you specify the path properly when calling your script:
%0\..\kix32.exe %0\..\script.kix

Post a copy of your batch file and script on the forum.
For info, on windows 2000 the black window appearing on the screen of win95 and NT computers, only appears minimized in Win2000. So maybe the script runs, but you don't see it ?
The error message you have is normal and should not stop the script working

vinings,
If that is the extent of your batch file, that is fine. However... it should be:
%0\..\kix32.exe logon.kix
Also please see MSKB (Q318689) applies to Windows XP
A Logon Script Does Not Work If %0 or %0\..\ Calls Multiple Commands (Q318689)
Also please post the version of KiXtart you're using as well as the complete script using the CODE tags so that your code is formatted here on the board. If the batch file is not the culprit then something you're calling or doing in the actual script may be the cause.

i appreciate your help in this..
1) I reference logon.bat in the user manager under the profile on each account.
2) When I execute locally: It says "Script error: failed to find/open script!."
3) i double click logon.bat from explorer..
I tried it from the cmd prompt and it says "Script error: error in USE statement!." and then right below that in red text it says "Select".. nothing else..
4) No
5) Yes, what I posted is the entire batch file. I will post the code at the end of this message.
Note: I did not write this.. I am not savvy in this 'language'.

huh??
Our Z: mapping works fine on all of our 9x clients.. and the hidden shares map as well..
are you suggesting that I need to make your changes just so our 2k clients work properly?

OK... let's take this step-by-step and see if we can figure out what is happening here.
When you tried to execute locally, you got a 'failed to find/open script' error. Try this:
1. Copy your logon.bat, logon.kix, and kix32.exe files from your domain netlogon share to your c:\temp directory.
2. From a command prompt execute the following commands (make sure you are not using a domain admin account)
c:
cd \temp
net use (one of your script-mapped drive letters:) /dele
net use (confirm the drive was deleted)
logon.bat
net use (confirm the drive was re-added)
3. This should run the local script and re-map the drive (confirming the script ran OK).
If that works, map a free drive letter to your netlogon directory. I.e. Net Use X: \\mypdc\netlogon
At the command prompt, type the following:
X: (Substitute the letter you mapped to the netlogon share)
net use (ScriptMappedDriveLetter:) /dele
net use (confirm the drive is deleted)
logon.bat
net use (confirm the drive was re-added)
Again, the problem seems to be that your 2K clients aren't even getting to the point where they run the script rather than internal script errors. (Though I'd still heed the advice given about $$ vs. $ and trying to map a directory under a share. Sometimes you can get away with bad syntax in KiXtart. It is pretty forgiving. But the $$ thing is just the way KiXtart differentiates a $ symbol from the start of a variable.)
Also, I notice you are running KiX32.exe from the netlogon share. Since we run a pure NT/2K network, I haven't had to wrestle with Win 9x and KiXtart issues. But it seems there are differences in which files need to be present, which is one reason the file(s) are copied to the local workstation and executed there. There are also significant speed advantages to running a local KiX32 executable. I don't think this necessarily has anything to do with the current problem, but you might want to keep it in mind for future improvements.
This is probably a very simple problem that will become obvious when we track it down. Sometimes those are the hardest to find, though.

sorry for the delay... anyhoo.. i copied all the relevant files to the c:\temp as instructed and it failed...
wait 22 seconds, then
"Script error : error in USE statement !.
Select" --- is in red text
that's it...
we did clean up our scripts a bit..
LOGON.KIX:
break off
; Syncronize Client's clock with NT Domain
;SETTIME "@lserver"
; Set user's home directory
USE h: @homeshr
; Set SHARE drive based on location of user
Select
Case INGROUP("Corporate")
use k: "\\server01\public"
use z: "\\server01\msds$"
Case INGROUP("Fortville")
use k: "\\fort01\public"
use z: "\\fort01\msds$"
Case INGROUP("Marietta")
use k: "\\Mar_bo01_nt\public"
use z: "\\server01\msds$"
Case INGROUP("Midway")
use k: "\\Midway\public"
use z: "\\midway\msds$"
Case INGROUP("St Catherines")
use k: "\\SC_BDC_NT\public"
use z: "\\sc_bdc_nt\msds$"
Case INGROUP("Washougal")
use k: "\\Washougal\public"
use z: "\\washougal\msds$"
Case INGROUP("Wesleyan")
use k: "\\Wesleyan\public"
use z: "\\server01\msds$"
Case INGROUP("West Oak")
use k: "\\Westoak\public"
use z: "\\server01\msds$"
ENDSELECT
; Set group drives based on business fuction
IF INGROUP("HR_Payrol")
use g: "\\serverhr\adpprog"
use n: "\\serverhr\adp$"
use p: "\\server01\HR_Payrol$"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("Marketing")
use O: "\\server01\Marketing$"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("Accounting")
use V: "\\server01\acct$"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("Executive Assistants")
use x: "\\server01\ExecAssist$"
ENDIF
IF INGROUP("MSDS")
use I: "\\mar_bo01_nt\i\groups"
ENDIF
quit
END OF LOGIN.KIX
again.. 9x clients work fine, even w/ the Z: mapping.. we havent tried the $$ thing yet, obviously... I'm not the on editing them
also again... imho its crapping out before it even parses the login.kix; it seems that way

When selecting the logon.bat from the netlogon share by double-clicking, because of the way it's processed within the cmd window, the error about script not found and unc is normal. The way the logon.bat processes from the netlogon process it should work fine. the error seems to be in the script....
