I've seen numerous topics on the failings of @USERID. I've researched the fixes and none seem to help. I thought I'd provide more details. The KIXTART files (EXE, DLLs) are on all user's C:\WINDOWS. We are running Win95 clients, Kix 3.61. This is a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network running NT Server 4.0 SP6a.

We seem to have 2 overall problems:

1. Some PCs cannot report @USERID while ran through the login script, but once logged on, it reports fine.

2. Some PCs do not report the @RSERVER at login

I was hoping my samples would not wrap, but here it is anyway:


Date Time @WKSTN @USERID @ADDRESS @LSERVER @RSERVER WinVer HDFree

Do you have Kxrpc running on your PDC & all BDCs? Is it the correct version (the one that comes with 3.61) of kxrpc running on all domain controllers? Are you replicating the netlogon share to all BDCs? Is replication working? Are copying in the DLLs from version 3.61 before you start executing kixtart?

The traditional fix for this sysmtom is the RPC service which is working on all BDC's and PDC's. Of the 3 PCs we have experiencing this problem, 200 other PCs work 100% of the time. The most same version of the KIX files is one every PC. I will have to double check the versions of the KXRPC service on the servers.

Sorry my sample log didn't display in fixed width columns like I had hoped. Thanks for the response.

I didn't fully understand your log but nonw that I do, it is likely kxrpc is working on all machines (some variables supplied via Kxrpc seem to be set properly). I would put some debug statements in my script & try to track down the conditions that cause the failure. This does seem strange. My best guess (& it is only a wild guess since I have never had this problem) is a DLL problem - try installing DLLshow, DLL versions, & DLL Walker on the machines & try looking to see which DLLs are being envoked.

FYI for those watching this for resolution. We are still researching possible problems with the DLLs.

On all Win9x Pc's you need to use the latest MSNET32.DLL, which can be optained from:

Hey!

I have finally fixed the problem on my system! I removed the KXRPC-service on the servers and deleted the KX95.DLL on the Windows95-clients, and everything is OK!!! If I restart the service, nothing happens. But when I copy KX95.DLL to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM, the problem is back! It doesn't matter what version of MSNET32.DLL I'm using either, it seems like the problem is KX95.DLL.

We are running Windows 95 B, and Kix v3.62.

Does this fix your problems too?

Regards,
Malboro
