I currently have a logon script which utilises the ifmember and goto statements to select which network drives are mapped for each user. Unfortunately this list is quite extensive and I need to find a way to streamline this. Unfortunately our workstations do not have WSH installed by default so I cant employ this technology, (as I would also need to find a way to deploy WSH to each workstation!). If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcome!

Thanks James

KIXTART is almost as powerful as WSH but doesn't need any local install. It is on the MS Resource Kit and has a huge following including semi-official support.
We have a script of about 3 pages which works flawlessly, and only a relatively small 'ifmember' part because Kix has much better syntax for this than .BAT.

Hope thiz helpz,

kixstart is designed for lenghty login scripts and its free. It is from MS but its not supported by them although you can get alot of support on the web.
A good site to start is:
