Netlogon Command Shell Window
|
I have recently created a login script which displays user information and mappes local drives according to group membership. I implemented Kixtart by using a kix file and placing Kix32 in the Netlogon directory of the Domain controller and setting Kix32.exe as the login script. Everything has worked fine except that the kixtart script runs minimized instead of in maximized mode. Does anyone know how to run kixtart so when users log on they will see the kixtart window.

Dear,
Welcome to the board.
Use SetConsole("Maximize") and SetConsole("AlwaysOnTop") at the beginning of your script.
greetings.

Using Setconsole("maximized"), the window is maximized over the correct portions of the window and "alwaysontop" doesn't seem to do the trick. Here is a copy of the code I am using:
Code:
; Domain Logon Script
; Written by: James Ford
; Created: November 1, 2003
; Description: Displays a login screen to users
; Deletes old mappings and creates new ones depending on group membership
; Revisions
; 11/10/2003
; Enabled the script to run in maximized mode displaying content to users
BREAK ON ; Disables users ability to interrupt the kixtart script
If SetConsole ("maximize") = 0
? "Console Maximized......"
Endif

Dear,
Which environment you are running it? Are you using WKIX32 instead of KIX32?
greetings.

Re: Netlogon Command Shell Window

I am using kix32. I can only acheive the desired effect by calling Kix32.exe from a batch file. I created a batch file called kix.bat that includes the following:
START /WAIT %logonserver%\netlogon\kix32.exe %logonserver%\netlogon\kixtart.kix
exit
This batch file calls kixtart.kix which is now displayed to the user. If anyone knows an easier way to do this, please let me know.

Dear,
You can put those information into a string, which value will be displayed by the MessageBox function.

Re: Netlogon Command Shell Window

Dear,
In which windows version you are running it?
Are you trying also the statement
%logonserver%\netlogon\kix32.exe %logonserver%\netlogon\kixtart.kix to run?
We see which effect you are trying to get. Possible, that kixforms is a good extension of kixtart. Special
information about it you can find on the COM forum and the site www.kixforms.com
greetings.

Have youe set the RunLogonSync policy to enable the script to be visible? If not, check your GPO settings or search our FAQ.

Re: Netlogon Command Shell Window

Les is correct..
However, is there not a GPO that can do this as well?
Anyway - here is the post:

Kent,
Did I miss something?

Actually, I did... it is RunLogonScriptSync
