Even so, how do plan on deploying Kix to 200 machines?

Neither of which are FREE, which kixtart is.

Altiris and SMS are a few way to package and deploy applications and
updates.

Using the scheduler brings up a non kix related question then. How do I put
a schedule for this task on 200 computers remotely and in 1 shot. The idea
is to not have to visit/VNC and set them all up by hand.

Setup a scheduler to application at a specific time regardless of the user
who is logged on. Even in the case where a user may not be logged in.
The AT scheduler is built into NT and 2000.

The not user dependant was dealing with the registry.
The audit program needs to run only ONCE per week PER computer. Getting it
to run on a certain weekday is easy, but I only want it to run ONCE on that
computer. We have numerous computers where 4 different people may login
within 2 hours. I don't want the audit programming running every time they
login if today is the day the program runs.
So back to the user dependant comment. If the registry key I used was in
HKCU, when User1 logs in on audit day, the audit will run and it can write
some keys to HKCU. Now if User2 logs in on audit day and it tries to check
registry keys to determine if the program has ran today or not, it would not
find the keys, because they are in the other users HKCU keys. Thus using a
non-user dependant registry key.
But anyways, I've still not come up with the ideal solution.

He could also use kix for it, let the script determine the current day /
machine variable. It's pretty easy to get that working....I just wonder
why he goes on the "not user dependent"..........he just needs a script
that runs every so often on certain computers.....look at kixtart.org
for many examples.

If you need to copy a file to or from a server everyday you could write
a script to do this from a remote pc and not have to do anything on the
servers, or am I missing something here.

It needs to run once per computer, not per user. Sorry about that. So
thats why I said a registry key not user dependant (which HKCU is).
I could use the scheduler, but than I need to modify the scheduler to
add the task and drop a bat file onto the computer (the program runs
over network via UNC path) would I not? Is kixtart capable of modifying
scheduler and adding a task? That way I could have the script add a
task to every computer and copy off a small .bat file.

I'm not sure what you mean by user dependent. Is this something that is
going to run for all users, or run one on the server per day regardless.
If it has to run once per day and only once I would recommend that you
schedule the task with the scheduler and then you don't need to mess
with the registry key. If it need to run once per user you would put it
in the HKCU key. You can make up your own keys. I usually do this in
HKCU\Software and make up my own key with the company name.

Yes, it would be so that the program is only run ONCE on that particular
computer and only on 1 specified day of the week. The registry idea
sounds like the best bet, but that requires a registry key that the user
can write to to set any flags/dates/times, and it has to be a key that
is not user dependant.

I think that he only wants it to run once a day per user, and only on
certain days. I would suggest either creating a registry entry to check
or create a file and looking at the files creation date.

Never touched kixtart before so hoping someone can give me a few
pointers on what I wnat to do.
Basic script which executes commands based on a given day of the week.
something like if @day =3D "monday" seems to conver this part of the
requirement.
The second requirement is that it only runs the commands ONCE that day.
