AutoExNT on Win2K SP4

[MR-KEN]

Windows 2000 Server SP4

We are trying to run AutoExNT on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine with no luck.
The same directions that we follow work on WinNT 4.0, but when we start the
service on the Win2K machine, the autoexnt.bat does not seem to map the
drive. If the commands from the bat file are type directly into the command
prompt, the drive is mapped, but starting the service does not.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

I understand that you want to run AutoExNT on Windows 2000, but it does not
work. You are not able to run the commands in the autoexnt.bat to map a
drive. Can you run other commands in the batch file?

Please refer to the following article first, then check if you run AutoExNT
based on the steps outlined in the article.

How to Run a Batch File Before Logging on to Your Computer

ze/startw2k.mspx

In addition, you may want to use the following steps to troubleshoot the
AutoExNT service:

================================

1. Check the startup script file (Autoexnt.bat). Make sure that the
commands in it can be executed successfully.

2. Check the credential of the AutoExNT service. Make sure it is run under
the "Local System account".

3. The AutoExNT writes the Application log. Start -> Run -> eventvwr. If it
fails to start, we can get the error code from the log.

I hope this information proves helpful to you. If you have any questions
or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to be of
assistance.
Have a nice day!

Thanks and regards,

Looks like the issue was that we were testing this via Term Services. When
logging directly onto the console, the mapping worked.

Thanks for the reply.
