Question : I'd like to make a batch file that would map network drives, add printers, add files, and install software...

How do I approach making a batch file that does the above and makes this happen the first time a user logs on to an SBS2000 domain with a windows XP sp2 machine?  If a batch file is not capable of doing this what kind of program language is?

Many Thanks,

Ellsworth
