Pech: The 'no problem' is not an issue. An issue is that you should rather use the KiXtart-native USE statement than SHELLing out again. What's the point of using KiXtart if you do everything with non-KiXtart commands anyway.

You should also not hard-code the call to your login server, it is not considered 'best practice'.

Why do you manually sync the time if there's the build-in Time Server service? The recommended setup for Windows 2000/XP is to synchronize the time automatically through the time server. There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for ordinary users to manually sync time or even sync time through the login script because you will have to adjust security permissions to actually give ordinary users the right to change the system time.

Why do you want to make it more complicated if there's an easy solution?
