I have been mulling over the Idea of creating a Visual Basic Wrapper that would do the same basic functions of a logon.bat file. Here is my reasoning.
Calling wkix32 from the netlogon share each time takes quite a while. Most of our users are logging in over a wan link <384kpbs. I’m a firm believer in not wasting bandwidth, even though its only 230K. I compiled exe would probably only be less than 5K.
I personally don't like the look of using a logon.bat file, that dos box irritates me.
All the VB file would have to do is copy the wkix32 file to the local system if it doesn’t exist. Run wkix32 %0\..\kixtart.kix and monitor for the kixtart process. Once the process is finished then exit.
Has anyone ever thought\started\researched doing this. I have basic VB skills and wouldn’t mind working with others on this if your interested.
This would be a sweet addition for the next version of Kixtart.
