How to add an entry with a condition to hosts file?
I need to write a script to verify if one specific entry "10.1.17.21 server1" exists in the hosts file or not. If yes, do nothing, else insert that entry into the hosts file.
This script will be put in the login script to assure all users with this entry in their hosts file.
Can you help please?

Keep in mind this will need to happen with elevated user permissions on most modern versions of Windows.

Visual Basic Classic
Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

I don't think you can put it in a users login script because hosts may be protected... Unless user is an admin.
You could put it in a gpo in the Startup script, which should work.
