Hello,

I have a problem with logon scripts. I have 10 servers in 10 locations all running W2K. File replication appears to be operating correctly.

Kixtart Logon scripts execute correctly from 9 servers at 9 locations, however, I cannot get them to execute from 1 server. Everything else appears to be OK, and I am convinced the problem is not with the script itself, as it works everywhere else!

Incidentally, normal batch files used as logon scripts execute fine.

Any clues/ideas/tips gratefully received.

At this one location, do the clients not execute any script or do they execute the logon script from the wrong server?

Please tell us how you configure the account or policy such that the client should execute a logon script. Are these server DCs in a single domain?

To answer the questions raised so far:

1 - Permissions seem to be OK. They are the same on all servers.
2 - At the location with the problem, the Kixtart script will not run. Windows 9x users call the script from a batch file. The batch file portion runs fine, but the script does not rub. W2K users call the script directly, and no script runs.
3 - Scripts are called from the user account (not a group policy)
4 - All DCs are in a single domain.

A couple of other bits of info:

If I log on as the same user at any other site, everything is OK. The problem appears to be Server specific.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Assuming the scripts are replicated via netlogon shares (and called that way)

verify that replication has replicated the file correctly
Verify the permissions on the netlogon share for user read perms
delete the kix32.exe and replace with a known good copy (I have had a few corrupt in the past)

On an NT/W2K, or XP client, what happens when you execute (\\server\netlogon\logon.bat) in a DOS window? [Note: You will have to change the path and file name to suit your environment.]

If you execute the Win9x logon script batch file, does it execute? If not, what error or other info casn you provide?

All sorted - thanks for the assistance.

Seems to have been a corrupt KIX32.exe file, as suggested. Strange that, it should be the same everywhere, particularly as it is in the netlogon share (which I know successfilly replicates)

Thanks again
