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.
