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?

*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*
