Those methods as described in the article are just crap. I WANT my users to be local admin, I don't want to use scheduled tasks and disabling UAC don't make any difference 
And prais the lord for MS, how do you even want to get rid of it

A few indeed, that is the problem at the moment
I am happy I am in a large company where money is not a big issue normally. I got my Vista Business Upgrade on the launchday. At this moment I have more then 100 upgrades from XP Pro to Vista Business, got them from Dell for only 16 euros (Dell offered upgrades for machines bought between oktober 2006 and march 2007) so that is not a problem at my side.
Congratz with your 2K post

I found the first one too. But I have to re-organize some OU's before I can use it. I don't want to mess up my current enviroment too early Tomorrow I will build a new script on a new OU with this way of working. Hope that it will work. If it works I can test with a Windows XP client to be sure that runs too.

Ok, short update. It looks like there is a incompatible command in Kix. I have build a new OU in my Active Directory with just 1 policy which starts 1 kix script with a mapping to a drive. That seems to work good!
I am gonna test all my other scripts now, maybe I can find out which command is not working correctly with Vista!

Ok, this week i started deploying KIX in vista also.
A few things :
You added that user to the local admins? or added domain users to local admin?
Put your login script in the \\servername\netlogon and let the group policy logon script start from there.
Do you launch your logon script trough a cmd/batch file?
Disabling the UAC on the machine, fixed the problems i had with Vista before, for the moment i got it working with UAC turned on. (only when i trigger wkix32 directly from GPO without a batch file in between, because at that point the file runs as SYSTEM.)
SETTIME for example is one of the things you would need local admin rights for...
Also i noticed, that with the new kixforms dll(now using old version again), my form didn't really show up well, but that could be because of my crappy programming..
I hope this helps a bit, i'll be spending the next days to finalize my logon procedure..
So far for my first post

Thx Caveman, but I finally found the problem!!!
The problem is not rights, UAC, or whatever but the ADDPRINTERCONNECTION of Kix. If you try to add a printer where are no drivers for available on the Vista machine it will stop working. After the GPO timeout (600 seconds) the machine will boot further.
I don't know how to fix at this moment, I just turned of the addprinter

The addprinterconnection, where does it install the printer from?

Network Printers are installed on a Printer Server. You should add drivers for all operating systems in your domain.
Using AddPrinterConnection(), you refer in the parameters to this printer server and the share names.
A common user does not have the right to install his own drivers for a printer. He uses the ones that you foresee in your domain.
AddPrinterConnection()

How do you disable UAC in Vista? I have a system that was working fine to mount the Windows volumes served up through SAMBA off an XServe and now it won't. Help! Also, what version of Kixtart is needed to be compatible with Vista? BTW, the new adds for OSX and Vista security are great! ;-)

If no additional drives are added it will not install the printer on (in this case) Vista. So adding additional drivers to the specific printer on the printer server should solve the problem.
