During the logon process some Windows 95 machines are locking up with Kix32 not responding. we currently have approx 48 machines out of 777 with this problem. Also potables when docked are OK first time, but after being connected via RAS they develop the locking up problem.

What is the exact error? Or does it just freeze?

Hi,

is there a special command, which stops? Or doesn't it even start? Use debug information
to find out exectly, where it fails.

This may or not be related. We use a reasonable complex set of scripts that are contained along with KIX32.EXE and the .DLLs in the NETLOGON directory on several NT 4.0 DCs.

Users complain that they have to log in more than once to get their drive mappings. These are mapped by one of the SCRs in the login sequence.

Examination with a Sniffer shows that the client attempts to lock KIX32.EXE after it has read the file. I believe that this is the action taken by SMB when trying to establish a Level II oplock. I can't see why the client would attempt to establish the lock after reading the file otherwise. At any rate, the server replies with an access violation errror and the script never executes.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has experienced this problem, particularly if you have a solution!!

Thanks

I have also had this crazy hanging situation. We are getting ready to turn on Kix and Login Scripts for over 2000 users. Everything is really working great except that on the occasional Win95 machine, kix32.exe locks up and will just stay there for ever. If you end task Kix, there is no error log created. Also, when run in debug mode, it never gets started. not a single line of text appears. I read about that file lock, but get this, I run Kix from the local hard drive. It can't be afile locking issue. Here is something else werid. If an effected running machine has been logged into at least once, then you can log out, log back in, and the script runs fine. But if you warm or cold boot, then the script hangs on these machine. It is driving me crazy!! On Oct. 4 I have to turn it on for all users for th purpose of version checking for Y2K complaince. If I don't get this figured out, then I am not gonna be a happy camper come monday!

Please help me!!

Long ago I used to have some strange drive mapping issues. Then I wrote code to ensure that any drive that I intended to map was first unmapped before it was mapped. I never have drive mapping problems anymore in a 1000+ client environment.
