I found the answer to this. For some reason in Win9x I have to give the full path to the Kixtart script (my netlogon.bat contains "\\corpsrv\netlogon\kix32 \\corpsrv\netlogon\logon.kix /f") for Win9x to find it.

Now if only I could get Win9x to work with groups. I found the following on the Kixtart website but can't quite parse it, so I thought I would paste it here and see if anyone knows:


Because Windows 9x, does not know how to handle RPC (Remote Procedure Calls), you have to setup the Account Groups for your users to use Local Groups e.g. ACCOUNTING_LOCAL (These Local Groups can be a member of the Global Group e.g. ACCOUNTING) and you will need to reference these in the script.


Do they mean to make a local group on the Win9x box? I didn't think Win9x had groups.

Hi all,

I have two systems using Win98 and one using Win95.  These three systems do
not automatically execute their login scripts.  I can map the network
drives manually and tell them to reconnect at login, but I am wondering why
they don't execute them.  I can log in, browse to my netlogon share (if I
make it browseable), and execute the script manually, and it works.  Well,
it mostly works, but I Think that's an issue with Kixtart.

Is there something extra that I need to do for Win9x?  I haven't really
found anything about it.

Thanks,
Misty


IMHO a lot better solution would be to use a dynamicaly generated logon script, generated by a script specified in the root preexec configuration parameter. In this way you can check the group memberships, among other things on the *nix side, which could make things to work lot more reliably.
