Scripting Windows Management is one of those good ideas that you might not have gotten around to trying yet. Perhaps you're not sure what you could accomplish with a script that you can't accomplish from the graphical interface.

VBScript (Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is often dismissed as being "just" a scripting language, the implication being that a scripting language is of little use to a system administrator faced with managing hundreds or even thousands of computers in an enterprise setting. However, when used in combination with technologies such as Windows Script Host (WSH), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and Active Directory Service Interfaces (ASDI), VBScript becomes a powerful language for system- and network administration purposes.
