Good info Jerry. I had to ask MS about this when I couldn't find the
programming references!

In previous versions of the GPMC.CHM 'help' file, there was a section within
the Help file on programming the GPMC (the Group Policy Management Console
Reference) and a section which listed every MS provided script and it's
syntax (Group Policy Management Console Scripting Samples).
In Vista (on my PC), the GPMC.CHM file is located within the
C:\Windows\Help\mui\0409 folder. You can open it there directly or from
within the GPMC console using the Help menu. When browsing to find script
information, all you will see is a link to the 'Group Policy Management
Console Sample Scripts' link (as noted above).
Installing the scripts creates the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Group
Policy\GPMC Sample Scripts folder and places all the scripts there. However,
there is no file describing the scripts and their syntax included. There is
also no local file describing the GPMC programming interface that used to be
included in the help file.
MS removed these for Vista/SW8 and, apparently, placed them up on MSDN. Here
are the appropriate links (at least until Microsoft updates them).
