Now I have another question. What happens when the KiX RPC service on the DCs are of different versions as the KIX32.exe? What happens then? What about if we want to upgrade versions of KiX? How do we upgrade the KiX RPC service? I'm thinking more in the long run, when we will need to upgrade the KiX engine. Wouldn't there be an extra thing to do now?

First off, the KXRPC is not updated with every KiX release. On the rare occaision it is, it is backwards compatible so you update it first. A 5 minute job.

A better solution is to get rid of all the Wintendos and hence the need for KXRPC.

And if you would take a look at the KiXtart package, you would see that it contains a batch file to remotely install the kxrpc.exe on your domain controllers. You don't even need to reboot the systems.

Also: Just because something works, doesn't mean that it works correctly, you might have just been lucky.

I wish we can get all Win9x PCs off the network, unfortunately, it is not that simple.

Dear Lonkero,

Of course, also the other kixtart files are important.
Of course KXRPC doesn't have a meaning for NT-based systems, but in his
first line he was talking about windows9x machines, His logon script
doesn't work on those machines.

We advise him to follow the step Kix upgrade: what are those new features? can upgrade be done without any danger?

Upgrading clients can be done very easily with f.e. kix420update.exe upgrade package.
greetings.

sure MCA,

but like said, I never have needed those files nor the service.
not even in the networks that had windows 3.11, 95 and 98

OK... I just finished installing KiX RPC on all the DCs. Hopefully this will solve our problems. I have my fingers crossed. I will keep you guys updated on the situation.

[Lonkero] I am curious about how you implemented KiX without the need for KiX RPC. Are you running on a NT4 domain or W2K domain model?

nt4.
neither I did copy the kix executable to clients... nor I do that now either.

there is nothing awesome in that.
the need for kxrpc is for some special stuff only and that special stuff is not needed for basic domain logon.
and complex domain logon I denied from win9x clients [Wink]

now, we don't have those anymore and I don't need the batch-file anymore either! [Big Grin]

happy happy, joy joy! [Razz]
