No, but you can 'roll your own' ...

There are several techniques you can use :

1) Use pre-exec to run a server based script and 
generate a per-user (or per machine) logon script 
at each logon. You then have access to everything 
the host (Linux/Unix) system knows about the 
user/machine.

2) Use the basic batch file commands to test for 
various things and call other batch files as 
required - search the archives for ifmember.exe 
which is useful for this. You then have every 
machine/user use a common logon.bat and take 
runtime decisions on what to do.

3) Use a client side scripting environment such 
as Kixtart and write much more complex scripts.
