Yes, this is true.

You can't store each line of the script in a seperate value of a
multi-values attribute because there is no ordering - and one would
assume a script's execution depends upon order.

But you can cheat.  

Define an attribute to store the script,  if you don't have an OID I'm
willing to define one for you - since this sounds like not a half-bad
idea.

Write the script and insert it into the attribute - it will be encoded,
but not big deal.

You could use a preexec script to copy the LDAP attribute content to a
file in the netlogon share, as say, {username}.bat. And then it will get
executed.

If you change the script in LDAP it will get pulled out next time the
person logs on, so you effectively accomplishing your goal
