We are running VFP 5.0 on about 40 clients connected to a Novell server. Client OS include Win 95, 98, NT, and 2000. We are getting ready to move the database to a Win 2000 server and would like to implement login scripts on all of the clients to map a server directory among other things.

I am a little wary of running WSH on all of the clients because I think it opens the door to viruses and worms. That said I would like to hear suggestions on the best approach to a standardized login script for all clients.

For instance:

1) DOS commands. Can we accomplish what we need on all machines?

2) WSH.

3) KiXtart. Does this run on Win 95/98?

4) Perl (possibly using Perl2Exe).

5) Other ?

TIA for all suggestions.
