Windows Nt Scripting Administrator's Guide

by William R. Stanek, William R. Stane

The new Windows Scripting Host finally offers system and networks administrators a powerful means to automate many of their most common tasks. In this concise professional reference, expert author William Stanek introduces readers to this new feature and shows them how to put it to work with the VBScript or JScript scripting languages. In addition, Stanek thoroughly explains how to use the older Windows NT shell command language to automate tasks not yet possible with WSH. Parts 1 and 2 of the book introduce the reader to traditional batch scripting and the new Windows Scripting Host, a feature now found on Windows 98, Windows NT 4 Workstation and Windows NT Server 4. The book also introduces the reader to the two most-widely-used scripting languages on Windows platforms, VBScript and JScript, and shows how other popular languages, such as Perl, could be substituted. The remaining parts of the book show how to create scripts of increasing sophistication to solve common administrative problems on Windows 98 and Windows NT 4 Workstation clients, Windows NT 4 servers and networks of NT hosts.
