I have a batch file called logon.bat and it contains a unc path to the kix32.exe and to the script. So my config should be very similar to the original poster. Only difference is, mine works and his doesn't.

when you say you copy to c-drive, where in c-drive you copy the executable?
I am even further thinking this is an issue of trust. your unc is not recognized as local intranet zone and thus gets blocked. might be way of this, but nobody has checked on this yet.
in the batch file i just run a copy command that copies the exe and the .kix file to a folder on the C drive from the DC. where might the trust setting be on windows 8.1?

alka, in your case I would look do you even have NETAPI32.dll
there is a NETAPI32.dll file located in the netlogon folder. however, it seems to be a older version. can anyone tell me which version of NETAPI32.dll i should have?
it would work fine for Windows 8 Pro, and Windows 7, but not Windows 8.1

running the wkix32.exe directly from the DCs using a UNC path causes that error i posted above, but changing the logon.bat file and having the kix32.exe copy to the c drive first and then running it, works. now, it could be the version of NETAPI32.dll i have on the dc. just bothers me that it works on Windows 8 pro and Windows 7 without any issues.

Well... my next logical question is... why is the NETAPI32.dll in the netlogon directory? Have you tried just renaming the file to see if the problem corrects itself? In my logon folders I have nothing but the kix32.exe and the scripts.
Also of note, I do not use wkix.exe.
I'm not sure how this relates, but here is a (very old) thread that shows what Kix is looking for in terms of DLLs. http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=96858#Post96858. I have never once added these files to a machine, so obviously they are part of a standard Windows release.

Sadly... neither poster has come back to post their results.

Allen and Lonkero - I think kixtart is working correctly. I believe my issue is now figuring out how to get wireless devices like laptop and tablets to make valid network connection before the domain user logs in.
In Event Viewer, on the Windows 8 tablet, I am seeing errors for "no domain logon servers available" - so that points to the wireless connection not being ready and connected before the user logs in. That also explains why the kixtart script can be run manually after login, since the wireless connection is then established.

Allen - yes, I have found a few sites with info referring to accessing the advanced setting of wireless adapter and enabling Single Sign-on and other such settings, but my HP laptops with Windows 7 64-bit and Qualcomm Atheros drivers did not have those settings.
I have also seen a forum post where you can create a registry value in the Current Version\Run key to auto-connect wireless immediately, but that didn't work either.
I did look for updated drivers, but didn't find any yet. Any other suggestions.
Thanks for all the help.

Yeah, I saw that post about adding the registry setting and running a profile. Too bad that doesn't work. Here is the only other one I found that might be useful.

Allen - okay, thanks, I hadn't see that webpage before. Unfortunately, the poster mentions changing encryption to WPA2-Personal to fix his problem, which is what I already use.
Also, he mentions having his Windows 7 computers set to All Users wireless profile or whatever, which I'm pretty sure I have set on my Win7 laptops, but I'm still having network connectivity problems before users login to domain.
I'm using HP ProBook 4540s laptops, Surface Pro 2 tablets, and Ubiquity Unifi Long Range wireless access points.
