Nope. You only need a Vista machine to manage the GP settings, but
everything else you have is fine.

Is there a vista/Server 2008 requirement for that to work? My domain is
primarily comprised of XP SP2 and dc's are Server 2003.

You can do all that and more with the new Group Policy Preference extensions
that were added with Server 2008/Vista SP1. Will require you to push the
client side extension installer out to your clients beforehand, however.

Subject: [gptalk] Login Scripts N' Such

 

After browsing through a few of the login scripts that we use, I have made a
realization that vb scripts for logins may not be necessary. My login
scripts basically just create URL shortcuts on the desktop and map users to
specific drives. I was wondering if it's completely necessary for me to
continue using vb scripts or if it's possible for me to completely do away
with them and replace them for GPOs. I was thinking I could establish all
the shortcuts as IE bookmarks through IE Maintenance options and then have a
single vb script that deletes existing desktop URLs and copies whatever is
in the Favorites of the current user to the desktop. Does this sound like
its possible? Is it possible to setup mapped drives through GPO?
