First of all I'm new into MS scripting, we always used Novell scripts but now i'm testing a new SBS W2K server and want to use kixstart (4.21)
What have I done so far ? I've placed all kixstart files into the netlogon directory and copied kix32.exe to every workstation(XP), then i've made a .bat file: @ECHO OFF c:\kixtart\kix32.exe \\Sbs-dkt\NETLOGON\welcome.kix I've made a OU and in the policy i refer the logon script to the following location: \\xxx.lokaal\SysVol\xxx.lokaal\scripts\KIX.BAT
welcome.kix is just a simple script to test if it's running but i get the following error before the script runs: (i'll translate it from dutch).
CMD.EXE is started with the path mentioned above as the active foldder. UNC is not supported. The default setting is the Windows folder, this will be used.
I get this error with every script I use. Why ????
Could somebody please help me on the right track ? [ 23. September 2003, 16:36: Message edited by: pdezeeuw ]

So if I put the following line into the account it should also work? c:\kixtart\kix32.exe \\Sbsdkt\NETLOGON\welcome.kix

Well, i've tried to use the following line in the account profile/login script.
c:\kixtart\kix32.exe \\Sbsdkt\NETLOGON\welcome.kix
When the user logs on...nothing happens.
Now i'm lost... SO it's possible to run the script directly from the server ? Without placing kix32.exe on the client pc's? How can i do that ??? [ 24. September 2003, 09:27: Message edited by: pdezeeuw ]

Patrick,
Mag ik a.u.b. reageren in het Nederlands ?
Kun je a.u.b. aangeven hoe ik nu precies het kixscript direct kan aansturen en dan het liefst zonder logon.bat? Ik heb dus kix32.exe en kixtart.kix geplaatst in de netlogon. Wat moet er nu waar ingevuld worden om bij het aanmelden van XP clients het script correct aan te roepen.

kix32.exe and kixtart.kix are in Netlogon so that should be fine... Now what do I have to fill in in the client Do we mean the same thing by the way ? I use the logonscript box of a useraccount in the AD of our server...is that correct? just kix32 or kix32.exe or kix32.exe kixtart.kix And what do you mean by "button profile"?

I'm a newb, but for what it's worth('bout 2 cents) I had to add the .exe extension to get it to run on my server.

I'll try it first thing tomorrow morning and let you guys know if it works... But why do I read in every kixtart manual i've seen that you have to place the kix32.exe file on the local XP client ? If I startup the kixscript like this I don't need the local kix32.exe. or am I missing something ? [ 24. September 2003, 21:34: Message edited by: pdezeeuw ]

OK guys,
There seems to be something running when user X logs in on a XP client. I've added the following line in the user logon script line: kix32 When user X logs on I see a little black box in the bottom-left corner but it's flashing by and nothing happens, there's also a short beep ! When i open it (that's not easy) i read the following line: "error:failed to find/open script"
What the ... is wrong now ?!?
kixtart.kix is in the netlogon directory User X has read/execute rights so again i'm on a dead end... [ 25. September 2003, 16:40: Message edited by: pdezeeuw ]
