Microsoft has a decent scripting book. You can also check out the scripting webcasts. The "Scripting Guys" have quite a sense of humor. adam |---------+----------------------------> | | Steve Parr | | | <sparr@metroland.| | | com> | | | Sent by: | | | thin-bounce@freel| | | ists.org | | | | | | | | | 01/20/2005 09:11 | | | AM | | | Please respond to| | | thin | | | | |---------+----------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'" <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | | cc: | | Subject: [THIN] Re: Download Pick of the day: Scriptomatic 2.0 now availab le | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Looks like it may be time to learn scripting. Can any one suggest some good reading material to start learning this stuff? Sounds like Scriptomatic would be helpful for a scripting beginner as well? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Kenzig http://thethin.net [mailto:jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 7:41 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Download Pick of the day: Scriptomatic 2.0 now available Microsoft has released a new version of Scriptomatic, a utility that helps you write WMI scripts. See: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=09dfc342-648b-4119-b7eb-783b0f7d1178&DisplayLang=en Scriptomatic 2.0 Utility that helps you write WMI scripts for system administration. Overview A completely new version of the famous Scriptomatic, the utility that writes WMI scripts for you. (And, in the process, teaches you the fundamental concepts behind writing WMI scripts for yourself.) Unlike its predecessor, Scriptomatic 2.0 isn't limited to writing just VBScript scripts; instead, Scriptomatic 2.0 can write scripts in Perl, Python, or JScript as well. In addition, Scriptomatic 2.0 gives you a host of new output formats to use when running scripts, including saving data as plain-text, as a stand-alone Web page, or even as XML. Scriptomatic 2.0 handles arrays, it converts dates to a more readable format, and it works with all the WMI classes on your computer; on top of all that, it also writes scripts that can be run against multiple machines. System Requirements · Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Professional Edition , Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows XP, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows XP Home Edition , Windows XP Professional Edition , Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2 Microsoft Windows 2000 or later.
