Why is this project still in beta fase?

First of all, I don’t have a lot of time to spend on programming, I have a normal day job as a network administrator and I don’t want to be around computers all the time
Secondly, it’s a bit the story of the chicken and the egg. I need a lot of input about success stories and bug reports to be certain that the script is totally foolproof. Furthermore I didn’t receive many success stories or bug reports, because it’s still in beta fase. I also can’t blame adminstrators that they don’t implement beta scripts in production environments.

How free is Yet another LogonScript?

It depends, YaLS is free as in free beer, but YaLS is not free as in free speech.
YaLS is released under QPL which in short means, you are allowed to use and copy it. You are allowed to make modifications for personal use / for your work. These modifications may only be redistributed in patch form. Which means, you include a full unmodified version from YaLS and include a patch file with your modification. I may integrate this patch in a new version without your explicit permission.

Why should I implement YaLS when I have a great custom Login Script?

Most administrators are proud of there logon script.
They are proud of it because they wrote it themselfs and it is perfect for their situation. However, those administrators have a problem when something changes in there ‘windows infrastructure’ or in their corporation. They have to rewrite the logon script to fit to the corporate needs again.
YaLS offers an all in one solution. Using the Active Directory Users and Computers console, the administrator can easily change the things they want which you normally write in a logon script. And because the Active Directory Users and Computers console is object orientated it is makes complex situations far more easier to configure.
