I am working on my login script using Kixtart2001 version 4.11.0.0? Two problems I am having with Kixtart..
My login script works when ran from the user profile options however I don't get a GUI interface.

Second, when I try to using kixtart at the OU level assinging the login script here. I get an "error message that says cmd.exe was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are nto supported. defaulting to windows directory". I have all necessary files in the script policy folder for that OU. [Frown]

Is it possible to run kixtart at the OU level and not have to put a path in at each user's profile field?

KiXtart does not have a GUI interface. You will have to investigate KiXforms for that.

The error you listed about UNC paths is a DOS thing and should not affect the execution of your script. Does your script execute from the OU level?

Since calling KiX from a bat file is only required for wintendos and since wintendos can't run GPO scripts, there is no point in calling KiX with a bat file. You do not need to put anything in the Users' profiles to run a GPO script.

No, it does not execute. It stops at that error message.

what is difference between the standard console-based and the windows version? When not using my login script at the OU level it works but everything is ran on one line accross the screen in a cmd.exe screen.

I would like to see a regular login screen similar to just a regular bat file used for login scripts in NT.

Here is a copy of my login script
SETTIME "DOMAIN"
"Greetings " @userid
"Welcome to " @ldomain " domain"
"Today is " @day @date
"You are attached to the " @lserver " server"
IF INGROUP("ITSTAFF")
use i:"\\mbgserv02\users\IT" /persistent
Endif
IF INGROUP("ResearchStaff")
use t:"\\mbgserv02\apps" /persistent
Endif
Use g:"\\mbgserv02\users\homedir"
use p:"\\mbgserv02\apps" /persistent

SETTIME "DOMAIN"
? "Greetings " @userid
? "Welcome to " @ldomain " domain"
? "Today is " @day @date
? "You are attached to the " @lserver " server"
IF INGROUP("ITSTAFF")
use i:"\\mbgserv02\users\IT" /persistent
Endif
IF INGROUP("ResearchStaff")
use t:"\\mbgserv02\apps" /persistent
Endif
Use g:"\\mbgserv02\users\homedir"
use p:"\\mbgserv02\apps" /persistent

This should atleast make the lines break for you.

I dislike the persistent connection switch.

pet peeve:
Assuming the script always runs, remembered connections are at minimum redundant and possible in the way when needing to change letter assignments.

Explanation:
The '?' creates a new line in the command window. Thus, your outputs show up on separate lines.

You shoudl also update to the latest verson of KiXtart as 4.12 had some bugs, the latest stable release is 4.12 adn we also have 4.20-RC3 to offer.

Finally, be aware that Windows 9x/NT do not deep map. you're using deep mapping in the mapping of the I: drive.

You should also read the FAQ Forum, especially Kixtart Starter's Guide , KXRPC - Everything you wanted to know about KXRPC , and How to use UDFs
