I m looking for a login script which could be deployed from Active Directory 2003. The purpose of the script is to display information like IP, hostname,username and other customized information on the desktop regardless of who logs into the machine.

You help is appreciated, thanks!

But how can you implement it without going on to every new system?? I want to make sure that even if we get a computer, we need not worry about install bginfo on that

If you place the bginfo.exe in a network location, like \\yourdc\NETLOGON, and create your own bginfo configuration and place it in NETLOGON as well, you can add bginfo to your network login script.

For example,
1. copy bginfo.exe to your DC's NETLOGON location
2. Create and save your own bginfo config file, call it domain.bgi and copy that to the NETLOGON location as well
3. Add the following line to your network login script:
bginfo.exe domain.bgi /nolicprompt /timer:0
