I'm currently use kixart for my login scripts. They work some what OK, however I have multiply remote sites with a 56K Frame Relay connection to our network. It can take 3-4 minutes to run. Would using vbscripts improve the performance or is there something I can tweak with Kixart?
 
Maybe try running the executable on the local machine might help? Copy it to c: and call it from there so it is not being downloaded to the local machine to run.
Let us know if it helps.
 
How do I do the login script purely in vb. I know the code but where do I put and how do I call it.
 
In a domain environment, put it in the user profile.
In a workgroup you could place it in the start menu on the workstations.
To use kixtart with slow connections, consider copying it out once to the workstations, and then use something like robocopy to copy out only if the original script has been changed.
If you use win2k or XP you have more possibilities with a good vb-script than you have with kixtart. owever Kixtart has a very nice user-interface for the non-programmer.
