Domain Logon Script Advice

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi All,

I have been tasked to create/develop a domain wide logon script to map
users printers and network shares based upon which Active Directory OU
they belong to. This is a big task for me as i have not done any
scripting for this purpose, only use batch files.
I happy with deploying the script via GPO etc, it's just the actual
scripting part.

My questions are:

1. What is the best method to achieve this? VBS/ Kix etc?
2. Are there any other ways to do this for scripting dummies like
myself?
3. Is this too big a task for a scripting newcomer? (Domain consists
of many AD sites, printers etc)

Thanks in advance.

Colin.
