As I understand the things written, it will only work with =
windows2003???
Who is runnign w2k3?, I'm not and I don't know anyone who is.....so =
maybe in
the near future this will be a blessing but now it's just a nice very
welcome addition we needed at least two years ago.
Sorry to be so cynical but I've been looking for a tool like this too =
long
already, and now this is like we say "make someone happy with a dead =
bird"
'cause none of my current customers will upgrade in the next year...so =
I'm
stuck with the uselessness of the curent tools.
...pffff, letting of steam after a hard day at work......
And for the kix / wsh comparison, kix I use for login scripts and wsh =
for
administration scripts...so the compare is not relevant for me at least. =
Greetings and have a nice evening or working day.

Jeff,
Thanks for the great tip This is really great stuff. I had a lot of=20
problems with the terminal server profiles, and I tried to look into=20
adsi and scripting. But the older version of the adsi api didn't expose=20
the ts profile path property. I believe that this is an example of the=20
superiority of WSH and scripting vs KIX. There had been a long=20
discussion about this topic in the previous day. I am happy to find some =
other administrator that is using wsh to create administrator scripts.=20
http://www.winnetmag.com/WindowsServer2003/Index.cfm?ArticleID=3D26365
This article is about windows server 2003 that is actually shipping with =
a specific dll for terminal server.
