can't find/open script file

Hello,

I'm new to Kix and I just installed Kix on a
windows 2000 Domain controller in the path
\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts.

I'm calling a batch file with the following commands:

@ECHO OFF
%0\..\Kix32.exe Script1.kix
EXIT

All my Kix files and scriptfile are in the
\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts path which is the netlogon share for Windows 2000.

when logging on with a win98 client, it says
"can't find/open script file". Help !!!

Re: can't find/open script file

I just tried that and i'm still getting a
"cannot find/open script file error.

Here's my batch file that I just tried:

@ECHO OFF
%0\..\Kix32.exe %0\..\script1.kix
EXIT

My script1.kix file is in the same directory as my kix files.

Re: can't find/open script file

Does that script fail on all clients?

Re: can't find/open script file

Dear,

Try also:

\\server\netlogon\kix32.exe \\server\netlogon\script1.kix

greetings.

Re: can't find/open script file

Dear,

btw: are you using
\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts as subdirectory in your \\server\netlogon share?
YES.
Command such something like

%0\..\kix32 %0\..\Sysvol\domainname\Scripts\Script1.kix
or
\\server\netlogon\kix32 \\server\netlogon\Sysvol\domainname\Scripts\Script1.kix

greetings.

Re: can't find/open script file

Howard,

I'm getting this for all my clients:

windows 98 and windows NT machines.

I'll try the suggestions from MCA.

Re: can't find/open script file

Can you see both Kix32 and your script if you execute:

dir \\servername\netlogon

Re: can't find/open script file

Howard,

when I do a dir \\server\netlogon, I can see the my script and kix32.exe files. I also have my other kix files in this directory.

Re: can't find/open script file

At this point I'm a little baffled.

Go to an NT computer, open a DOS window, and execute:

\\ServerName\netlogon\kix32.exe \\servername\netlogon\script.kix

Does it execute properly? If so, then the script is OK and the logon script CALL is suspicious. If not then your script or Kix32 file seems problematic.

Re: can't find/open script file

Howard,

Thanks for your help. For some reason, my script file was corrupted. I tried a simple display message and it still wouldn't work so I just created another script file and things are fine now. Weird. Thanks agains !!!!
