Press Release Body: Atlanta - December 12, 2007 - Entrigue Systems
(www.scriptstart.com), a leader in managing user profile settings on physical,
virtual, and thin-client Windows desktops, today announced the availability of
Script Start Community 2.0.

Script Start enables administrators to manage, configure, and provision user
settings on Windows desktops connected to any popular server OS such as Windows and
Linux. The solution supports any method of Windows desktop delivery including
virtual and physical PCs as well as thin-clients. Functionality includes the
ability to map drives, install printers, configure Outlook settings and MAPI
profiles, modify environment variables, adjust Internet proxy settings, configure
RDP connections, publish applications via RDP, automatically customize client
machines, and much more.

With newly added features, Script Start Community 2.0 represents the next generation
of the company's popular solution. The new version boasts a stand-alone product
architecture that installs the Management Console to a local server vs. the Web
hosted model that the company had used previously with Script Start Standard.
Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 support have also been added.

"Script Start Community edition gives the community a proven Windows Desktop
management solution. With our support for other leading Open Source technologies
such as Linux, administrators will now have an powerful option to manage Windows
desktops with a server OS other than Windows," said Jon McDonald, CEO of Entrigue
Systems. "The installation of Script Start is now very straight-forward, allowing
administrators to get up-and-running in a matter of minutes to automate Windows
desktop configuration processes that lower TCO from day one."

"The availability of Script Start in a stand-alone version has been much anticipated
by administrators and Systems Integrators," said Jason E. Smith, VP of Business
Development for Entrigue Systems. "Script Start is a must-have tool for
organizations that need to automate configuration and user settings on new and
existing Windows desktops regardless of how they are delivered."

"Organizations provisioning desktops with technologies such as Citrix, Microsoft
RDP, VMware, Symantec's Ghost, and Acronis' Snap Deploy can all stand to benefit
from this solution," added McDonald. "Once any Windows desktop has been provisioned
the monumental task of configuring and maintaining user settings is where the real
work begins. If you're not using a solution like Script Start there is a lot of
manual work involved that can be very time-consuming. The fact that this solution
supports variations of Linux in addition to Windows Server is another huge plus for
companies looking to streamline costs while retaining a flexible network
architecture."

Script Start Open Source vs. Script Start Professional
Script Start Community 2.0 is available today for use at no charge under a GPLv3
license and can be downloaded at www.scriptstart.com. Entrigue plans to make Script
Start Professional available within the next 30 days. Script Start Professional
will include priority support, inventory reporting capabilities, one year of
Software Assurance, upgrade assistance from previous versions of Script Start,
priority product updates, and access to future additional features. Script Start
Professional will be priced at $990 per domain controller with the ability to manage
all connected Windows Desktops in the same domain. Current Script Start customers
will receive an upgrade to Script Start Professional at no charge.
