Using KiX 4.11, I am checking MAC address of all my workstations at logon using @ADDRESS. On one, a Sony laptop running Win2K SP2, the MAC has been properly returned during script processing for months until the last few days. Now, macro @ADDRESS returns no info for this one system only (200+ still properly identified). No changes appear to have been made to the installed NICs, and script itself is unchanged.

KiX is identifying 3 NICs in the device, and their presence and order is also unchanged from previous successful executions (Nic1=NetGear, Nic2=Intel, etc.). Script is identifying the NICs by checking the registry key 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\NetworkCards', and keying off index values.

Running $TmpMac = @ADDRESS generates an @error result of 0. Length of the data string $TmpMac is also 0.

Anyone have any ideas why such a failure may be occurring, or any other trouble shooting tips to investigate what is really happening?

Thanks.

Bill

Weare not using policies as we are mixed mode. Only happening on this one system - other 200 workstations running Win9x-WinXP are returning properly-formatted results.

so, I think this comes to re-install.
my mediaplayer crashes on start up.
re-installing can't do as it says unable.
upgrade can't do as it says unable.
fix can't do as it says ...

haven't seen this error before. not even heard about it.

you can anyway allways contact ruud about this if you are willing to crack this down.
