I originally started some work on it in May because I wasn't satisfied with the Kixtart 3.63 login script that I was using.

It first started out as a login script port to 4.0. Now I'm already using 4.0 RCx for about eight weeks in our production environment, and if you ask me, Kixtart is definitely ready for deployment (I'm not using WMI).

Then I got out of control because of the flexibility that Kixtart UDFs allow. Finally, I found the Task Scheduler command line interface and went crazy over the options presented within.

The main thing I like about my solution is that most of the work has been moved outside the standard login script, making it fast and simple. Since our computers are switched on 24/7 it's very convenient to do the serious maintenance at night.

Finally, I tried to implement most of the stuff in such a way that it does not require changes to the scripts itself. It should be sufficient to change an INI file or e.g. add a link to the LNK directory in order to have that link installed on the client machine.
