The cookie method is fine, provided the cookie is dropped only on success. MCA's package will drop the cookie even if it fails to drop the binaries. KiXCheck will however, remove the cookie if it fails to find the binaries.
I tried talking MCA into updating KiXCheck to do a CRC to verify the version and/or detect trojans. I also thought a duplicate file checker would be nice. Guess he didn't like my ideas 'cause he stopped answering my emails.

KennyBoy,
Hope the taste of foot doesn't keep you away from our board. Let's have a good laugh and then carry on. NTDOC says you can run KiX from the NetLogon share. Many do, but others have reported that problems were mitigated if KiX is copied to %windir%.

BTW, Shawn really does know everything (almost) [Wink]

P.S. Welcome to the board.
