Hi All,
I've been using kix script w/o problems for some time now, but since we moved department shares form our NT 4.0 to our Win 2000 Servers some of the mapped shares (mapped by kix (v.4) cause errors and don’t function, they are visible Explorer.
- Problem 1:
When you try to access or browse the mapped drive you get the following error :
“No access to J:\
Network path was not found.”
(It’s translated from the Dutch error “Geen toegang tot J:\. Kan het netwerkpad niet vinden”, so I don’t know if it’s the exact phrase)
Then when I disconnect the drive in explorer and then map it in explorer the mapped drive is fully accessible w/o problems.
- Problem 2:
The drive is again mapped in the kix login script. but files on them are not accessible from applications like word, excel, etc., it gives the following error:
Word cannot open the document J:\Future.doc
Word cannot open the document J:\plans.doc
Word cannot open the document J:\for.doc
Word cannot open the document J:\2003.doc
, when the file is opened from explorer it opens just fine, but when you want to save it, it gives an error that the file name is invalid, but when saved to an other share or local disk there is no problem.
We are using:
Server
Windows 2000 Server 5.00.2195 SP2
Kix32 v4, 0, 2
KixRPC v4, 00, 0, 0
Client
Windows 98SE 4.10.2222 A (Dutch)
Word 97 SR2
The shares are mapped using :
code:
;mapping w/o problem
If InGroup("COMP-DEP") = 1
$AFDELING = "\\AMSFIL0001\COMP_DEP"
Gosub "AFDELINGSSCHIJF"
EndIf
;mapping with problem
If InGroup("Directie") = 1
$AFDELING = "\\AMSFIL0001\CPY Directie"
Gosub "AFDELINGSSCHIJF"
EndIf
;mapping with problem
If InGroup("NEWBUSINESS") = 1
$AFDELING = "\\AMSFIL0001\CPY New Business"
Gosub "AFDELINGSSCHIJF"
EndIf
;map sub
:AFDELINGSSCHIJF
$POGING = 1
$DRIVELETTERS = "HJKLMN"
$TOTAAL = Len($DRIVELETTERS)
$DRIVELETTER = "Geen"
Do
$DRIVELETTER = SubStr($DRIVELETTERS,$POGING,1)
If Exist($DRIVELETTER + ":\*.*") = 0
Use $DRIVELETTER + ":" $AFDELING
$POGING = $TOTAAL
Else
$POGING = $POGING + 1
EndIf
Until $POGING = $TOTAAL
Return
Does anyone have a lead on how to fix this?
Kreetz,
Michel

Hi all,
Thanks for your reactions.
>Chris S. :
When the mapped drives did not function, but were visible in explorer, after being mapped in the login script we have disconnected them and mapped them manually in explorer, we have not yet mapped them via net use x: UNC /persistent.
>Patrick R. :
The shares are visible in explorer, but when you try to access them they give errors.
I have tried the following:
code:
$AFDELING = '"\\AMSFIL0001\CPY Directie"'
but the share still is not accessible.
The strange thing is if i map them in explorer there is no problem.
Greetinx,
Michel

Dear,
Welcome to the board.
What is the result when use are using the NET USE command.
f.e.
code:
USE N: /delete /persistent
SHELL '%comspec% /c NET USE N: "\\amsfil0001\CPY Directie" '
Possible that kixtart is using a different way of checking share names
in an USE statement.
greetings.

Thanks MCA,
it worked.
Not at first, I had to put a ‘sleep 1’ between the use’s , now it works fine, strangely enough.
I know it’s kinda messy end I will get back in to this later, when time let’s me.
This is the code in the map loop for now:
code:
Use $DRIVELETTER + ":" /DELETE /PERSISTENT
$AFD_ERR_1 = @ERROR
$AFD_ERR_2 = @SERROR
If $AFD_ERR_1 <> 0 AND $MACHINE = "MY-TOKO"
$DUMMY = MessageBox ("DELETE ERROR = " + $AFD_ERR_1 + " : " + $AFD_ERR_2 + " " + "Deleting Mapping " + $DRIVELETTER + ": ", "Mapping Errors", 64, 5)
EndIf
Sleep 1
Use $DRIVELETTER + ":" "$AFDELING"
$AFD_ERR_1 = @ERROR
$AFD_ERR_2 = @SERROR
If $AFD_ERR_1 <> 0 AND $MACHINE = "MY-TOKO"
$DUMMY = MessageBox ("MAP ERROR = " + $AFD_ERR_1 + " : " + $AFD_ERR_2 + @CRLF + "Mapping " + $DRIVELETTER + ": = '" + $AFDELING + "'", "Mapping Errors", 64, 5)
EndIf
Thanx eve,
Michel S.
