Dear Serdar,
We migrated from Novell two years ago to Win2k. As you know, Novell had good instructions for writing logon scripts for different OS mapping and deep-level mapping. Win2k is not as easy. What is a good tool for logon scripts if you don't know Csript, Wscript or VB?

| Tip of the Week: |

It is also something of a chore to schedule defragmentation cycles with the program without the use of a third-party script or utility. Read about some of these alternatives in this tip. |
