Hi,
Can someone tell me if Kixtart is can be used for windows2000 server enviroment? Our reseller told me that there wasn't a good kix-script for Windows2000. Only for WindowsNT. Is this right? I will need kix-script for our login-scripts. Now I've made many login.bat files. Please your advice. We have the following servers: 2 Windows2000, 1 Windows-NT Terminal Server and 1 WindowsNT-4 servicepack 4. And many w95, w98, w2000 and XP clients. Thanks.

We are using kixtart version 4.10.0.0 for our logon scripts. We have both NT and 2000 servers and kixtart is great and easy to use.

kix 4+ is fine for win2k (as well as the others)
I'd suggest staying with 4.02 until 4.12 goes golden and tested under fire.
4.10 and 4.11 have some nice features, but COM is kind of broken... fixed in 4.12

Dear stukie,
First, welcome to the board.
People who are telling "kixtart" doesn't work for newer windows releases doesn't
known the product. Even the old ones work on it. Only the functionailities is a
little bit smaller. In the Netherlands there aren't much resellers knowing
the product. Mostly they are talking about Visual Basic scripts. They think is
a Microsoft related product which will get enough support.
What kind of support do someone really get from them. On KiXtart support
works. Direct feedback between author Ruud and the kixtart community can be find
on this board. In some situations Ruud presents a HOTFIX in a couple of hours.
Also a big benefit is, that this software is careware and that you don't have
to worry about copyrights with Microsoft.
It is very simple to tell "kixtart can't do the job" without showing it to you
or us. At the moment we doesn't have problems by using kixtart. Only an imple-
mentation of board suggestion makes it more comfortable.
greetings.

Dear Lonkero,

a farmer that doesn't know what he is doing, solves the problem himself... he learns or starves.
A salesman that doesn't know what he is doing, just goes on and on...

Les,
The email notification for stikie is on. So he can read the story. So he can
read that you should believe everyone on their blue eyes. Just ask the people
who are really knowing it. For kixtart it is f.e. this board.
greetings.
