I'm fairly new to Kixtart and I'm having a bit of a problem with INGroup and Windows 9x systems. We have a Windows NT 4.0 domain. Last week all appeared to be working as desired. This is no longer the case. Windows 9x systems are once again unable to establish automatic drive mappings based upon domain group membership. KixRPC service had been (and still is)installed on one of my backup domain controllers. It appears to be active and alive (no errors). A kixtart.ini file was placed within the NETLOGON share of all other domain controllers. This INI file simply points to the BDC that's running the KixRPC service. It's contents are as such:
[KIXRPCMapping]
{NT1SF} = \\{SFBDC1}
Default = \\{SFBDC1}

The users assigned profile points to a batch file called "kixscript.bat". It reads as such:
@ECHO OFF
%0\..\Kix32 %0\..\KIXScript
EXIT 0

The called kixscript.kix file reads as such:
CLS
If SETTITLE ("Kixtart Login") = 0
Endif

SETTIME "\\SFPDC1"

If Exist ("J:\WTSRV") =1 goto ("End")
EndIF
IF INGROUP ("WIN2KSHARE")
CALL "WIN2KSHARE.kix"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP ("SF-MIS")
CALL "SF-MIS.KIX"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP ("SF-DECNOW")
CALL "SF-DECNOW.KIX"
ENDIF

IF INGROUP ("IESEC01")
CALL "FCOMP.Kix"
ENDIF

:END

I'm at a loss to understand why this has ceased to function since nothing has been modified (that I'm aware of).
Any assistance / recommendations would be appreciated.

JohnBoy -

Remove the curly braces from your Kixtart.ini file.

Dean,
Thanks for your recommendation. Unfortunately, my problem still persists. My current KIXTART.INI file contains the following:

[KIXRPCMapping]
NT1SF = \\SFBDC1
Default = \\SFBDC1

Check your KIXTART.LOG for errors. Maybe you need to reboot the DC. Most ppl put the KXRPC on all their DCs.

My Kixtart.log file is indicating that it's having a problem locating a KixRpc server. Does anyone have a valid (functional) copy of a kixtart.ini file that I could perhaps view ?

JohnBoy,

Do you have KXPRC installed on your DCs and started as a service?

Our KIXTART.INI has:
quote:

[KXRPCMapping]
DOMAIN=\\SERVER1,\\SERVER2
Default=\\SERVER1,\\SERVER2

HTH,

Kent

All,
I think I've found the root cause of my Ingroup problem. The villian turns out to be a Network provider registry setting that needed to be modified. This was the result of our present utilization of Netware and Microsoft clients on our workstations.
Thanks for your assistance.
