Kathy, let me apologize on behalf of the members of the board for any negativism you perceive.

Since we are detached from your particular situation, we can not feel all the stress that you do. This thread has been progressing for some time and it could be interpreted by some of the posters that some of the advice is not being implemented or that you have been slow in coming up to speed with KiXtart. Not knowing that your efforts have been spread across such a large project (18 servers Novell->NT), could have fed into some of the responses.

Adding some incidental information about the lack of time you may have to completely resolve some KiXtart issues once you post could go a long way in managing our expectations when we spent our time trying offer problem solving advice.

Don't give up on us yet. [Smile]

Being Netware for the past 15 years and now being not really "forced" put Win2K the product of choice by the higher ups has put a lot of stress on us to get up to date on all the Win2K, Citrix and Exchange technology. Going from NDS to AD, etc. is a trip. Thanks for your help. At least I know that "nested shares" are not allowed. Another thing I know is that Netware is a much more reliable product and easier to work with. Oh well, job security. Thanks again..

I am not sure I agree with you regarding your Novell to NT comparison. [Wink]

I left Netware long ago. Once you learn the details of how the NT family of OS's function and master the new toolset used to manage your new environment, you will be very comfortable and enjoy your job once again.

Yes, Microsoft products do have some issues, but they also do other things very well. Time will tell in your case.

I changed the script to put the mappings at the very first 4 lines that the script runs and just to \\tx-fs1\marshall and it is not mapping on my Win98 PC. Any ideas why?

use h: /delete
use g: /delete
use g: "\\tx-fs1-marshall"
use h: "\\tx-fs1-marshall"

Users use to g and h drives we are trying not to confuse them.

What is this?:

use g: "\\tx-fs1-marshall"
use h: "\\tx-fs1-marshall"

should it be :

use g: "\\tx-fs1\marshall"
use h: "\\tx-fs1\marshall"

Kathy: Let me apologize, too.

Anyway, have you solved the mystery of the login script slowness?

It might also help to run just parts of the script at a time in order to identify the bottleneck.

Kathy,
If I may make a suggestion...

Write small scriptlets and test them in isolation before including them in the main script. That cuts down on the calls that puts everyone in fire-fighting mode and frustrates the users. You can test them first without logging out/in by just dragging and dropping them onto KIX32.

Then what you do is to have a JoeBlow account that is set to use a different logon script (say, test.kix) called from another bat file (say, logon2.bat). You take the scriptlet and test it with the JoeBlow account during logon on a variety of OSes. Once you've work out the proof of concept, you take the production script, include your new code, save it as test.kix, and test it up the ying-yang. After the problems are worked out you put it in production.
