Session Summary
A powerful scripting environment is an indispensable
tool in the fight to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by automating system
and network administration tasks. Windows Script Host (WSH), when used in
conjunction with ADSI and the WMI scripting library, provides just such a
scripting environment.
In this presentation, you will learn what
scripting is, how it might be useful to you, and how to write and run a script.
You will then see the development of two example scripts. The first example
will demonstrate some useful basics, while the second example will introduce
some functionality that is a little more advanced and very powerful.
At the end, you will hear about the new resource kit System Administration
Scripting Guide and receive pointers to other useful system admin scripting
information.
This is a
