Win 2000 Server Resource Kit (*.vbs)

JohnNews · Sep 25, 2003

Folks:

I am interested in using the SCRIPTING process to become a better network
manager.

I notice that the windows 2000 server Resource kit has a large number of
Visual basic files (*.vbs). How can I run these scripts to get information
about my network or information about specific computers on my network.

Thanks,
John.

Download and install the lastest version of WSH from:-
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/

To run a script in a GUI environment use:-

wscript //nologo yourscript.vbs

To run a script in a console window use:-

cscript //nologo yourscript.vbs

BTW, if your PATHEXT environment variable inludes .VBS you can
just enter the name of the script:-

See the cscript/wscript help screen for info about setting the
default scripting host.
