We have an NT server and I have been using Kixtart for my login scripts on the Win 95-98 machines and it has been working great. We are now implementing Win 2000 pro on some of our pc's and I cannot get my script to run. As was sugested in a previous question, I installed the Current version of Kixtart. What do I enter under the user profile in thier login script name. I have tryed using a batch file to call the Kix script, but it did not run. How exactly to I get this to run and what exactly I enter to get it to run. Please show me an example.

The Users Profile would have logon script name: user1.bat

To run kixtart from a logon batch file:
(assuming logon scripts are in the netlogon folder and kix32 and associated files are also in the netlogon and not the local pc.)

\\server\netlogon\user1.bat
@echo off
%0\..\kix32.exe

see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q121387 for use on %0\..\

If the kixstart files are local (ie: c:\kix) then simply hardcode the user1.bat file.

\\server1\netlogon\user1.bat
@echo off
c:\kx32.exe [script]

the instructions in the Kixtart manual say to put in "Kix32". I tryed using the bat file as listed above but the script does not run

Assuming that your are using the default name for the script (kixtart.kix), you just put in "Kix32.exe"

In the future (if you get AD), you may want to consider writing the logon script in vbscript or jscript and using group policy to set up who runs what script.
