Title: Roaming profiles vs. KIXscripts
Post by: Tue Arnkil on September 26, 2001, 05:03:51 AM

I'm almost there with my e-smith server ! I got roaming profiles working with win98- clients and KIX-script, but a problem has occured :

Logonprocess :

1. Win98-client logs on to e-smith, running netlogon.bat
2. From netlogon.bat KIX32 is started ( %0\..\KIX32.EXE kix.kix) and all my changes to the LOCAL registry is processed (ie ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\e-smith-server\ laserjet 4") )
3. The saved settings from my previous logonsession (stored in /home/.profiles) overwrites the local settings - and my printerconnection is lost !

Is there a way, to make 2. and 3. 'swap places'.
What I want is to be able to change the registrysettings automaticly with KIXtart.
All I have to do is add / remove a KeyValue in the KIXscript, and the next time a user is logging on - (WITH roaming profile), she will have access to i.e the new printer.

You could move the location of your changes.

Try calling the script from the Common (All Users) Startup folder instead - this is run AFTER the profile settings are loaded.
