Hi Joseph,
Sorry, Can't resist. I do this all with kix. And it doesn't need a huge
script ;-)

I tried to use KIX in the past but just didn't like it. =3D20
I wrote a huge VBS logon script to tame our users because most of them =
=3D
can't manage their desktops or remember printers but it does the =
following =3D
which I couldn't do in Kix.......
Queries databases for printers, sets default printer based on user and
printer preference. (in this case Sybase) Maps drives Set's up Proxy =
server
based on Group Membership Creates Desktop shortcuts Writes all user =
settings
back to the database (in this case Sybase) Office registry settings =
(default
folder) Registry changes (Maps Outlook Express files to a drive share) =
Even
plays a .wav file is wanted....
Most of this of course can be done easily now in Policies on 2000, but I =
=3D
did this 3+ years ago...

First why is Kix better? =3D20
Here is some sample code you can use. =3D20
Mapping a drive
Set WSHNetwork =3D3D WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "G:", 0, -1 WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive
"G:","\\ServerName\Share"
Getting group membership
strDomain =3D3D "Enter Domain Name Here"
Set WSHNetwork =3D3D WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strUser =3D3D WSHNetwork.UserName
adsPath =3D3D "WinNT://" & strDomain & "/" & strUser
set adsObj =3D3D GetObject(adsPath)
For Each Prop In adsobj.groups
Msgbox Prop.Name
Next

Just out of interest, why is it you wish to get away from Kixtart - =3D =
you've
mentioned the WAN thing, is it the Kixtart caching functionality that's
causing issues, or have you genuinely found performance differences in =
=3D WAN
environments between the two scripting technologies?
I honestly think, for much of login script activity, that Kixtart can't =
=3D be
beat. And anyways, nearly always the best choice is the tool you're most
familiar with.
Personally I use Kixtart, WSH / ADSI / vbscript, and normal command =3D =
files
for various things - but I honestly think that for login processing =3D =
stuff,
Kixtart is the optimal choice - especially if you know it already.
I would have thought you'll have plenty of opportuinity to use and learn =
=3D
WSH / ADSI / WMI stuff, from lots of other admin tasks you'll no doubt =
find.
