KiXtart Environment Variables Do Not Exist After Script Runs (162850)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q162850 SYMPTOMS
Environment variables set up through your KiXtart Script do not exist after
the script terminates. When you run the KiXtart logon script on a computer
running Windows 95, the environment variables appear to work properly.
CAUSE
The Set command in Windows 95 is only active during the same MS-DOS
session. When the current session is closed, the variable is no longer in
memory.
NOTE: This is different behavior than from a computer running Windows NT
Server version 4.0.
RESOLUTION
To have environment variables for use outside the logon script, use
Winset.exe from the Windows 95 compact disc to set global environment
variables.
