I loved Kixtart for login scripts and used it exclusively back in the NT4 Multiple Master Domain model days for mapping drives, executing netlogon, etc., in a very pretty, sort of retro EGA looking dialog that the user could see each morning when they fired up their workstation.

I too would like to see a more contemporary update since there's still things that I feel this scripting methodology has to offer - including adding and removing programs, enforcing password policies, etc.

Let us know okay?
