#47707 - 2003-11-11 10:41 AM Help with script in Netlogon folder
Mfarah Mfarah Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-24 Posts: 27 Loc: London	Hi all I would really appreciate some helpe here. I have a Kix script which I intend to use for mapping network drives based on group membership. Here is the script. code: ;INI File [DOMAIN\TestGroup01] N=\\Server\testshare01 O=\\Server\testshare02 code: For Each $group in Split(ReadProfileString('groups.ini','',''),Chr(10)) If $group AND InGroup($group) For Each $drive In Split(ReadProfileString('groups.ini',$group,''),Chr(10)) If $drive $resource=readprofilestring('groups.ini',$group,$drive) $rc=execute('$$resource='+$resource) Use $drive+':' /delete /persistent Use $drive+':' $resource ;Use $drive+':' ReadProfileString('groups.ini',$group,$drive) EndIf Next EndIf Next I have tested the script by running it locally and it works fine. I then placed the Kix files, script and INI file in my Netlogon share on the domain controller (This is an NT Domain). In the logon script path, I have tried all of the following, kix32 \netlogon\script.kix kix32.exe \netlogon\script.kix kix32 script.kix kix script.kix None of these commands seem to work at all besides for; kix32 \netlogon\script.kix Which deletes the existing drive mappings but does not create the new ones. Does anyone have any ideas ?

I might have manually deleted them yesterday. I still have the same problem however. [ 11. November 2003, 12:57: Message edited by: Mfarah ]

This starts by explaining how to run KiXtart scripts locally, and then goes on to explain how to run them as logon scripts. If you have Win9x clients be sure to read the warnings and the alternative method (batch file) of running login scripts. If you still have problems, post an update.

Mfarah Mfarah Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-24 Posts: 27 Loc: London	Hi Richard Thanks for the reply. I have read through this section. I have tried inserting just; kix32.exe in the login script path and have renamed my script to kixtart.kix. I have tried logging on from an XP and W2K Workstation and still have the same behaviour. Any ideas ?

Have you got any debug lines to ensure that the script is running?

How about adding some status information, so that you know that the INI file is being read?

I'd change the INI file path, as the reference will almost certainly fail.

This version will set the INI file path to the correct place, and display comments as it is doing the mapping:


; Set location of ini file, depending if we are logging on or testing.
If @LOGONMODE
        $sGroupINI=@LSERVER+"\NetLogon\groups.ini"
Else
        $sGroupINI=".\groups.ini"
EndIf
 
For Each $group in Split(ReadProfileString($sGroupINI,'',''),Chr(10))
        If $group AND InGroup($group)
                For Each $drive In Split(ReadProfileString($sGroupINI,$group,''),Chr(10))
                        If $drive
                                $resource=readprofilestring($sGroupINI,$group,$drive)
                                $rc=execute('$$resource='+$resource)
                                Use $drive+':' /delete /persistent
                                "Mapping drive "+$drive+": to "+$resource
                                Use $drive+':' $resource
                                If @ERROR
                                        " ***ERROR***" ?
                                        "["+@ERROR+"] "+@SERROR ?
                                Else
                                        " OK" ?
                                EndIf
                        EndIf
                Next
        EndIf
Next

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	I don't think there is anything wrong with your KiXtart script. In your NTLOGON.BAT, you would typically do something like: code: kix32.exe %LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\KIXTART.kix Here is a M$ Tech Artcle on this too. A Logon Script Does Not Work If %0 or %0\..\ Calls Multiple Commands While this is geared for XP, there are some great insights for NT, 9x as well. Kent [ 11.

Mfarah Mfarah Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-09-24 Posts: 27 Loc: London	I left the script as is. Created a batch file NTLOGON.BAT In this file I set the path code: kix32.exe %LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\KIXTART.kix And it works !! Thanks a million Kent.
