I actually find perl to be much easier than kix or vb. Once you learn the syntax it is quite easy to use plus you can use it for admin type scripts as well

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
