Can someone help me to pause my script. Something is wrong with my drive mappings, but I can't see what's going wrong because my script closes out to quick. Thanks!

Just put this line where you want to pause it.

GET $_

I use that too (GET $_), but did learn that if you "X" out of the window rather than pressing a key you get logged off of windows without being asked. So don't click that "X" when Kix is waiting for a key press. But then again it may just be me.

When testing logon scripts, I have a separate script that's not in production and set my test account's profile to it. Then whithin the script, I can have BREAK ON set and use generous amounts of GET and MESSAGEBOX() lines.
The BREAK ON will allow you to cancel the script.

Also, when testing snippets of code after I've logged on, I will spark up a DOS box first and then launch KiX from there. Then, when the script bombs (and it does often enough:( ) the error message is still on the DOS box.

Also, Since Kix is generally called from a batch file I put a pause after the call to kix so the script runs all the way through and pauses so I can see what happened. Of course in NT and 2K you can set your cmd window buffer so you can scroll up and down to see a lengthy script. I use lots of ? "this is what should happen right now" so I can identify where and what is erroring out.

Dear,

Another way to see what is going wrong can be done by our kixstrip
tool with option /debug.
At the end you only need to look at output file to see what was executed
ans what were the error status.

QUESTIONs:
- is it possible to see what is happening during a logging on session.
- is it possible to see how long our script runs.

Advice: please run your script after adding our debugging code to it.
How:
- add debugging code?
- is debugging possible without user intervention? YES
- can is be usefull by logon or script problems? YES

A way of checking your script is by using our tool kixstrip on our site
http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting
With the option /debug we add additional kixtart code, which shows
  • which line was executed.
  • what was the time of execution.
  • what was the error status of previous executed line.
So it is possible to catch the error status of kixtart statements during
a logon session.
and
it will show the last executed before script is crashing.

An example.

For changing your script with debugging code use
f.e. kixstrip input.kix output.kix /debug
Change line.4 of this new script
code:
   IF RedirectOutput("")
ENDIF

to f.e.
code:
   IF RedirectOutput("c:\kixdebug.log")
ENDIF

and commented all lines with a RedirectOutput statement.
During the execution the information will be append to previous information.
So it is possible to check the differences.

A kixstrip output example of our script os.kix (reduced version) is:
code:
                                            CLS
COLOR C+/N

IF RedirectOutput("")

When you still have problems please:
  • put some code on the board.
  • put your logon batch file on the board.
  • put the output of a debugging run on the board.
  • put a DIR list of your NETLOGON directory on the board.
  • put a DIR list of your clients on the board with contains information
    about: KIX32.EXE and KX*.DLL
Greetings.
btw: it is only some additional information about how you can debug your script.

btw: with kixstrip ? you get a summary of possible options.
The result will be something like this:
code:
