Windows 2000 Script Host for System Administrators provides Windows 2000 administrators and programmers with a set of tools for creating scripting solutions to their day-to-day system administration tasks by utilizing Windows Script Host (WSH) and VBScript. WSH is now part of the operating system for all W2K versions, but it is poorly documented and not very well understood by most system administrators, and many Windows programmers. This book will provide the reader with some ready-to-use scripts for system administration as well as a reference for creating custom scripts.After reading this book the reader will be able to recognize those situations when creating a scripting solution to an administration task is preferable than doing it manually. Some of those tasks include:
-- Add, remove, or change an extensive list of users on a network
-- Add or remove drive and printer mappings for a group of users
-- Manage printers without having to use administrative tools
-- Make registry modifications without using RegEdit
-- Installing new programs or updates remotely on user machines
-- Copy/delete files and folders from a network without having to use Explorer.
