Problem is that AIDA32 is a win32 gui which when launched from a script will
run seperatly to the command prompt !
Try using
START /WAIT <rest of command line to launch AIDA32>
Doing this will cause the AIDA32 process to start and the logon script to
pause until it completes !

Using Aida32 on each client. I tell the client to run the locally
installed aida32.exe, and to save the report to a server-share.
