Just to clarify - what Jim has mentioned, and what has been mentioned
previously on the list, refers to DLLs written by developers, that expose
*certain* elements referenced in the document you've quoted.
To make use of the exposed objects in vbscript, the DLL would need to be
registered on the machine where the code will be run (and it will also need
the standard wts api DLLs, also - just in case it (the machine) isn't
actually running some version of terminal services).
As you've mentioned, it's rumoured ;-) that .NET server will change this.
It would be assumptive, though, to assume that all the functionality you've
referenced in the MSDN document, would be present in the various wrappers /
DLLs that developers have written - that may, or may not be the case - the
document you've cited is reference for developers writting DLLs to expose
these API functions, as objects to other downlevel code.
FWIW, though, I - and no doubt others - have been using vbscript to
manipulate terminal server specific stuff for quite a while - it's no new
revelation. It does rather boggle belief that something was not provided,
natively, for ADSI scripters, and / or they've left it 'til .NET, but there
you go...
