A number of KIX scripts we currently have, check for whether a user is a
member of a particular NT group, and then run a particular command, e.g map
a drive.

What I would like to know is whether this is possible in WSH, and whether an
example script is available.

Many thanks

It will require ADSI to be installed on each client.

ADSI is a CLIENT side piece. There is no need to install on the servers unless you are going to be running admin scripts from the server.

Today i was looking for exactly the same thing
I think 'they' do it with ADSI but i don't now if it is advisable to install it
on current NT4 servers
As soon NT5 will see the daylight in our organisation if you know how to do this
