It's only doable for 2003 server systems, AIUI, with the latest version of
ADSI.

Actually, it's not.
You can't do it with Windows 2000 systems via ADSI, unless you're using API
calls wrapped by COM object (ie you can't do it natively).
So there's no true difference - but in fairness, my advocacy was for Kix
more for login script type activity - which this type of thing isn't.
I've written many WSH / ADSI scripts for terminal server users manipulation
and migration, including modifying things like the terminal server profile
path and home directory - my stance isn't against WSH / ADSI - it's merely
using it where it's most suited.

I would imagine there are numerous admins on the list using WSH / ADSI for
admin type tasks - the debate on advocacy was more about login scripts.

AIUI, it's merely now included as a property you can manipulate via ADSI (ie
actually included in the interfaces, as opposed to being additional objects
wrapped, and needing including as an additional DLL).
