The CS.ini file provides a set of extra rules for the Gather (ZTIGather.wsf) function to process. This can include things like connecting to databases or providing logic around creating/combining new values. ZTIGather ultimately ends up creating or modifying a number of Task Sequence variables that the TS can use throughout execution. If you look at the ZTIGather.log file (or the section of smsts.log where it executes), you’ll see the variables being set in the TS environment.

As I learn more they seem to be the same. Pros and cons? -Kyle
