SideBar    KiXtart's Origins, KiXtart Scripting Basics, 5 Tips for Scripts
Scripting power in a simple package

Logon scripts can provide a centrally controlled method for a variety of everyday administrative tasks that you would otherwise need to perform manually at users' desktops. Such a method is especially useful in a WAN environment. KiXtart, an invaluable single-source processor for advanced logon scripts, provides a much more robust environment and toolset than does Windows NT's built-in, DOS-like batch-command processor. KiXtart's many features let you return NT SAM or system information, manipulate files, modify the registry, and perform OLE automation tasks. (KiXtart is also an excellent choice as a batch-command processor. You can use the tool with Windows 2000's or NT's AT command to create extremely complex and useful server-side tools.) KiXtart provides flexibility in calling scripts and subroutines according to a user's identity and group affiliation, so you can use one script that calls other scripts as needed. This approach centralizes script control and simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance. . . .
