I disagree, from a *login* script perspective.
Kix is significantly easier for login type scripts (checking group
membership, mapping drives / printers, writing registry values etc).
Those things are either more complex, or not as fully supported with
vbscript / WSH.
For admin type scripts, it's a different thing.

Kix and vbscript are probably on par in the ease of learning
category, but I believe you will find many more login script
specific vbscript samples out there. Additionally, when you
get into ADSI, WMI, and WSH-style coding, vbcscript becomes a
natural choice.

Hi Andrew
I would love to learn VB but I have limited time hence the
question
about sample Citrix login scripts so that may assist in me
learning
the language.. All scripting languages are different.
Some easier
than others to learn hence my question.. If people say VB
is harder
than Kix then I would obviously look at Kix as I have
limited time to
get this in and running..

To be fair, if you're struggling with the scripts you're
quite likely
to cause problems attempting to re-write them. You're
going to have
to learn vb to detemine what's going on - in which case
why not just
focus on learning vb?

Hi
We currently use AD GPO to push Logging scripts to our
Citrix Users.
The Scripts are based on VB and are very complicated (esp
when Im not
too good with VB). The Scripts effectively map network drives to
users servers and copies files to user home drive based on
AD group
membership. Im looking at rewriting the Login scripts and was
wondering how people do it. What is the best way to script login
scripts these days. Is it VB, PowerShell, ScriptLogic or
other tool?
All our Servers are Windows 2003. Also are there any
sites that have
sample login scripts so I can get some ideas on syntax?
Thanks
Ang
