Much more difficult to master initially, but there is much more support out there for it and it can do all that KixTart can do, including ingroup

I was originally thinking of copying all of the needed files to the desktops using a batch file, then calling the .kix script from within the batch file. Installing the RPC service on the win2k DC's and then for the user's profiles entering the script.kix in the logon script path in AD account properties. The other question is I would like to have as few scripts in my netlogon as possible. Is it feasible to have 1-5 scripts for all of my corp users. Keeping in mind that there would me many dept. and each one would need specific drive and printer mappings. I am sure it is possible, but is it efficient to have all of the users running such a large script. Are there any performance issues? -------------------------------- Rob Weatherly -------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Lum, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 9:37 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: KiXtart Good suggestion Steve. I use WKIX32.EXE as well, although for some scripts I've found using Windows 95 (and not 98) and WKIX32 will make the client hang. Additionally, a KiXtart editor is invaluable. I use http://www.kixscripts.com/editor.asp and I highly recommend it for scripts that are more than a few lines length, our primary script is a 500+ line file. Hmmph, it started out so simply...

I set this as the Logon Script of the users account and this works well.... It will try to run the kixtart.kix script file - I then use the CALL command to shell out to different scripts depending on groups etc etc.... I also use a SUB ROUTINE: so you can use the command GOSUB CLEARSCN Just remember to have a QUIT before the sub routine.... ;********* Script Sub Routines ********* :CLEARSCN cls small color b+/n box(0,0,25,80,FULL) ;set background color box(0,0,24,79,chr(176)) ;set background color b/n box(2,5,22,76,chr(176)) ;Shadow color n/n box(1,4,21,75,DOUBLE) RETURN Hope it helps Steve ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%%
