Login Script

Hello,
I know a lot has been said about login scripts and I have looked at most and have not found a solution to my problems. I am running in a mixed environment (NT4 Domain and Novell 3.x network, with Windows 9x, Windows 2k, and Windows XP desktops). With that said we use IPX, Netbios, and TCP/IP protocols. I am not sure what other info you need, but if you ask I will provide.
The problem I am having is the login script does not seem to finish and I can't figure out why or where. After the desktops have logged on to the network I can run the login script in debug mode and get no errors, I can also run it normally and it works fine. I tried copying the kix dlls to all the workstations and that did not help. I remember a while ago reading about someone else having the same problem, but I can not find any solution.
Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions would be grrrrreatly appreciated.

Re: Login Script

It might help if you post the script for people to look at.

Re: Login Script

If you are running a mixed network, you have to optimize your providers and protocols.

Re: Login Script

You need to adding logging into your script so that you can follow the scripts execution and determine the errors if any occur.

Also

IF INGROUP ("LS Read") or ("LS Write") should be:

IF INGROUP ("LS Read") or INGROUP("LS Write")

What version of KiX are you using?

Re: Login Script

oh, and remove the kix files from the workstations!
if you are not sure what you are doing you are probably just harming yourself and your workstation and network.

Re: Login Script

And if the whole thing starts from a batch file, add a
Code:

cls
exit 0


to the very end. There's a documented issue with login bathc ifles not closing under Windows 9x if the EXIT 0 is missing.
