vbscript

Hi Friends,

I have a Active Directory controller on a Windows 2003 server. My users use Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Novell Operating system on client machines.

I need to create a login script which is interoperable on all the client operating systems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated on how to accomplish this.

I was searching for a script which when runs, detects the target OS type and then run the related script to that OS.

Any Ideas?
