\\servername\users
Client is NT v4 workstations
is it possible to do in kixtart during user login to pc

You can use kixtart as a logon script. Just use the copy command in it. If the only thing in the logon script is a simple copy procedure, then I doubt you'll need kixtart to do it. Just use a batch file.
For future reference check out They've got a manual for download giving all commands and such. They also have a pretty nice forum for more complex questions. ________________________________________

From kixtart.org....

COPY
Copies one or more files.
COPY "source" "destination" [/h]
Wildcards are supported.
If a file already exists at the destination, it is overwritten without warning.
The /h option can be used to include files with the hidden or system attribute set in the copy.
(This is the same syntax used in DOS btw)

Are you familiar with how to run kix in a logon script? If not I highly suggest you do some reading at kixtart.org.

Again though, if all you need to do is a copy a file via logon script, then just use a batch file. If you want to use kix though then it'll be a nice learning experience.
