One of the IT people at my high school had a surname of "Code". He did write some code, but mainly KiXtart scripts.
Wow, I haven’t thought about kixtart in a long time!
Same. I was in high school in the 2000s. They used KiXtart for the login scripts. Some friends and I figured out that if we pulled out the network cable at a particular point in the login process on the Windows 2000 school computers, we'd have access to some things we normally wouldn't have access to, like being able to access the WINNT directory and the root of the drive (which were usually locked down). That was fun.
