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/sysublic 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.

Doug

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”.

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.

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!!

Doug
