RCONSOLE for 4.11 on WIN2000?
|

| CatWoman502 2001-06-19, 12:00 pm |
| Has anyone tried getting Rconsole to work on win2000. I am having some problems. I think it has something to do with it being 16 bit; (is there a 32 bit one?) this is the first time that I have dealt with this. It also says something about an invalid startup directory, and to check the pif file. So any input would be great.
I am also posting this in other boards... | |

| I don't know, need to look up myself.
Hope someone can help. | |

Cat,
First off, I think I didnt get back to you about 4.11 Directory Entry stuff a week ago?
I got busy suddenly. Cant remember but sorry for not replying.
I have 2 w2kp workstations, both of them have no RConsole trouble at all with 4.10,4.11,5.0,5.1 - In my main tree a have 4 servers as listed. With the default mapping of z:=fs1/sys ublic I usually just do a WindowKey+R,Rconsole and it fires right up.
I have run the local copy from each server, so it does work. Occasionally under Win, as usual drive mappings get hosed, I just browse or remap to public and its no problem.
Just recentely for encryption I switched to rconj for 5.x, but I still RConsole daily to hit 15+ other 4.x boxes across the wan and using win2k I havent tweaked a thing.
You should be able to browse to it in explore.exe, poke it and its good. Heres a couple of stupid toss ins: Are you Administrator or Power User group on your local w2k sam? Has someone got a ZenWorks policy on you - any at all effective wise?
I thought stuff like this only happens to me .
Let us know and I will try to keep in the thread this time.

| Thank you so much for your help. I did get somewhere with your suggestions….BUT, now I have a different problem. I fixed the mapping problem, but now when I try and run rconsole this is what I get. In a DOS window titled [Inactive RCONSOLE]
C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYSThe system could not load overlay file _RUN.OVL. Program initialization failure - Execution terminated.
Could it have anything to do with the error that I am getting when I close Iexplore.exe
Iexplore.exe
The instruction at “0x00000000” referenced memory at “0x00000000” The memory could not be “read”.

Your welcome. I wonder if you get the same bad virtual machine problem if you run PConsole. Probably so. Is your w2kp machine an older system, an OS upgrade, or like a fresh box with a new install of w2kp?
Have you been running antiviral software from the get go, keeping it updated as well?
As result of an old install or ? do you have memory management loading in config.sys? I dont even have a config.sys and only 2 client32 lines in autoexec.bat.
Sounds like your talking about a non-w2k box in that \windows folder should be \winnt.
I dont like the symptoms your getting. Please tell us some more details about your troubled system! Sounds like an OS upgraded machine - just to make my life easier I dont do upgrades, just fresh installs.

| It is an upgraded box. I would have loved nothing more then to start from the beginning, I think I might. I just wanted to check if some accounting software we use would work in 2000 and it does, so I guess I will start over. See if that does not help some of the problems that I am having. | |

Yeah, its unfortunate sometimes with upgrades. I know some people who have upgraded since win3.1 - usually trouble crops up.
Whats really effective for me is on my w2kp box (fat32) I partition magic'ed another fat32 drive d: and run win98se on that, being both are fat32 I can copy between the 2 partitions. That way I can support 98 and not have another box on the bench. Works real well. Additionally I use a single floppy Drive Image Pro to weekly image C: and store it on D: and visa versa. Good for sub 10 minute system restores.

| Well I reinstalled win 2000 and things seem to be running much better. I can get rconsole up, but I can’t toggle using alt+F3 or F4. I will take a look at knowledge base and see if they have anything about that. Also, I have to remap my network drives every time I reboot in order for it to work. Do you know of a how to keep my mapping from changing back to its default I don’t readily see anything about this. Thanks for all your help. | |

Your welcome,
I have no problem toggling foreward and back with alt f3/f4.
In your login script, assuming a container script is used, you will get this as the default script is gonna run after the container script:
; Default mappings are:
; f: = sys:system
; z: = sysublic
If you dont want that, add this toward the top of the login script:
NO_DEFAULT
I think a user or group script doesnt execute the default.
Set up no_default and map what you want by hand.
Dont forget that you can hard map from the windows workstation side - mapping and selecting reattach on login.
Also ZenWorks can map in app objects and nuke current mappings and even not clean up after the app terminates - hosing the mappings you want. Your user object can show assoc. app objects and you can follow the trail to see if an apps property values are stomping on something - AND this can be invisible to you, i.e. a force run with "dont show distribution".
lastly a novell desktop management event (in systray) can run stuff.
Lots of possible culprits. A incorrectly mapped (incorrectly scripted) search drive could be stomping on ???? and if from Zen, it doesnt have to warn you.
Keep up the troubleshooting!!
