Does anyone know of a way to setup a task scheduler task on XP machines
within and AD network? Either through the login script Kix32 in our
case, or batch file or WSH ?

Use the AT command. For example

AT \\WS01 23:00 yourcommand.bat

will run yourcommand.bat on the workstation WS01 at 11pm

I've used AT within a script to schedule a job (which simply write to
the screen "Lesson ends in 5 minutes - start saving your work") to run
5 minutes before periods end on all student workstations in a local
school. XP and 2000 workstations. 2003 Server with AD (though that's
irrelevant)

See help for more details and more functionality.

ALSO schtasks is (according to th help) a superset of the AT features
though I haven't ever tried it.

Hope this helps
