Seems like there's not much happening in the KiX world anymore?

Are you guys still KiX:ing, or have you migrated to other languages? \:\)

I still use Kix. But don't manage logon scripts anymore. Mainly use it with kixforms to build useful little apps for the small company I work for now.

Powershell only when I absolutely have to, otherwise always Kix.

Most of my Kix scripts are IT utilities and now I'm converting that into VB

Most of the logonscript has been replaced by GPO, but the remainder is still Kix.

What's powershell? ;\)

Kix almost exclusively, except for web-based apps.

I am sticking with Kixtart. There is nothing to install, it allows a much faster logon than group policies which are so slow in comparision and I like the fact that its not a Microsoft virus prone scripting language.
The big one for me, is that the kixtart language is very user friendly. It is the perfect program for running logon scripts which is what I use it for.
Also a great advantage of kixtart is the very friendly environment on the kixtart board. Its a positive joy to come online onto korg.

KiXtart for logon scripts, PowerShell for everything else and VB.Net for the heavy stuff \:\)

VB.Net for the heavy stuff


Must be some heavy stuff - Microsoft Exchange uses PowerShell to do all the heavy stuff.

Well if I need multiple resources etc. then I'd rather build a VB project and split it up instead of having 1 big page full of code.

Never used KGen or the Kix Development kit then, eh?

My large Kix projects are made up of many small, logical files that KGen assembles into a final script. Makes using Kix for large projects a breeze.

Yes Glenn's KGen is a great idea/tool but does have a learning curve to it.

Comes easy to Glenn as he designed it and has worked with it probably at least monthly for the past 10 years.

If you are doing large projects or multiple project files in KiXtart then you might want to give it a try as it can be a time saver.

I've left the world of sysadmin, so I don't get to touch KiX on a regular basis. Did make an "automated installer" a couple of years back, but that was one day, of many :(.
