Hello All,
Well my issue is my inventory script which I have made from other peoples
scripts and modified for my own use is having some issues on our desktops.
Little about our environment, Windows 2000, SP3 & SP4 with most patches
applied.
And worm patches etc. mostly our users aren't & can't be local
administrators of there machines.
Anyway I originally had a VBScript which did the inventory but I was having
the following problems so I tried making a KIXTART Script which also made
the exact same problems as described below.
1) Logged on as a normal user the PC's Internet Explorer 6 w/sp1 works first
time then you close the app and open it again and it says "Detecting proxy
settings" and just sits there forever and you have to reboot again for it to
work. If you're lucky.
2) After the internet explorer starts playing up I can't get into control
panel its like the whole "explorer" craps out.
3) The Computer generally becomes unstable, App's play up Outlook doesn't
work media player etc.
4) If I load a patch on the machines which is MS04-011 Latest updates.
(May/June) I think it is, and make the user a local administrator everything
's fine. If I load this patch and don't make the local user an administrator
it still doesn't work properly ie: Media player doesn't load internet
explorer and explorer still has issues.
Making all our users local Admin's isn't an option for us. So I'm guessing
it has to be something with the script which is causing the hassle.
Or something I'm doing somewhere, So I had my kix script checked out and its
fine apparently and the VB Script works perfect on a number of machines but
then I hit a number of pc's which It doesn't work and causes the problems
above. But once you disable to script at logon. The machine is perfect so it
's defiantly something strange when running these scripts but the scripts
are fine..
All the scripts basically do is some WMI Queries and other Reg Queries
nothing real hi-tech but it seems to make the machine unstable..
If any of you can think of anything that might be contributing to this issue
please let me know! Btw: I'm using kixtart 2001 4.21 and I've tried updating
to Windows Scripting host 5.1 I think the latest, Still the same problems.
Thanks,
Quenten
