Acknowledgements
I’d like to thank Jeffery, who has easily been one of the best co-authors anyone could ask for.
Writing a book can be exceedingly stressful and time-consuming, and a good co-author can
really help alleviate a lot of that. Thanks also go out to everyone at SAPIEN Technologies:
Jonathan, Alex, and Ferdinand, who provided assistance with tools and technologies that
were ancillary to the book’s main purpose, making things much smoother. Finally, a big cheer
is due all the users at ScriptingAnswers.com, whose persistence and unwavering support of
the scripting community were a primary motivation for bringing this book to market.

Writing your first book can be a daunting and sometimes frightening task. Fortunately, I had
a great writing partner. Thanks, Don, for being such a terrific guide in the strange new world
of publishing. Thanks, too, to the people at Visory Group. I truly appreciate the flexibility you
give me to take on projects like this one. Finally, I want to say an extra big thank-you to Beth,
Lucas, and Ellie. Without the love, support, and understanding of my new family (“Daddy has
to work again tonight?”), I would never have made it this far. You’re the reason I work so hard.

Introduction
When writing my first scripting book, Managing Windows with VBScript and WMI (Addison-
Wesley, 2004), I set out to create what was at the time an industry first: a book designed not
for developers but specifically for Microsoft Windows administrators with very little VBScript
experience who wanted to learn just enough VBScript to be effective. Since that book was
published, Windows administrators have become more and more skilled with Windows
Script Host, VBScript, Windows Management Instrumentation, and other related technolo-
gies. Because administrators attending conferences and viewing my Web site (http://
www.ScriptingAnswers.com) are beginning to ask questions about more complex technologies
and techniques, the time has come for a book that covers advanced topics.

In this book, my able co-author, Jeffery Hicks, and I try to cover some of the more advanced
scripting techniques that we use every day. We certainly aren’t pretending that we touch on
every topic that might be considered “advanced”; after all, scripting is as varied and complex
as Microsoft Windows itself. Instead, we try to cover the most useful advanced technologies,
recognizing that our fellow administrators are typically as practical and pragmatic as we are.
We also try to cover these technologies in much the same way that we learned about them,
by presenting complete solutions and line-by-line walkthroughs, so that you can see the final
product as well as a detailed description of how and why it works.

Personally, I’m delighted that Windows is now such a mature, stable product that we have the
time and tools to explore automation through scripting. I’m also glad that more administra-
tors are tackling advanced topics, which tells me that Windows has truly become an enter-
prise operating system, with the level of complexity and scriptability often associated with
traditional enterprise-class operating systems such as UNIX.

Jeffery and I both appreciate that you’ve selected this book for your further scripting educa-
tion. We certainly hope you find it useful! That said, we want to offer a brief word of caution:
This is truly an advanced book. We don’t take the time to explain basic scripting concepts,
and we assume that you already have medium- to high-level scripting skills. We do cover a few
basics at the beginning of the book, but only to provide a quick refresher of techniques you
might not use every day.

With that caveat out of the way, I want to wish you the best of luck with your scripting efforts!

xvi Introduction

Who Is This Book For?

This book is intended for Microsoft Windows administrators who want to take their scripting
to the next level. We’re assuming readers have intermediate to advanced scripting skills and
are looking for new techniques and ideas to expand their scripting toolbox. This book is also
for scripting administrators who want to expand their realm into products such as Microsoft
Exchange 2003 and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. If you’ve never worked with VBScript
before, then this book definitely isn’t for you. We’re not spending much time on the basics,
and you’ll certainly need those basics to understand what we’re covering here. If you’d like a
more introductory-level book, consider Don Jones’ Managing Windows with VBScript and
WMI (Addison-Wesley, 2004) or a similar title.

Conventions in This Book

This book is relatively straightforward, and there are no tricky conventions that readers need
to be aware of. However, the following reader alerts are used throughout the book to point out
useful information:

Reader Alert Meaning

Tip Provides a helpful bit of inside information about specific tasks or functions
Note Alerts you to supplementary information
Caution Contains important information about possible data loss, breaches of security,
or other serious problems
On the CD Identifies tools or additional information available on the CD that accompanies
the book
Best Practice Identifies techniques or conventions that are recognized as industry standards;
while not following these practices won’t break anything, they can make things
easier and more efficient.

System Requirements
To use the Advanced VBScript for Microsoft Windows Administrators companion CD, you’ll need
a computer equipped with the following configuration:

■ Pentium II (or similar) with 266-megahertz (MHz) or higher processor.

■ CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
■ Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
■ Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Microsoft Windows XP.
We assume you’ve installed the latest service packs, although in most cases we don’t
cover information specific to a given service pack (and when we do, we mention it).
■ Windows Script Host (WSH) version 5.6 or later. WSH is a core component of Windows
2000 and later versions, so unless you’ve taken special steps to remove this software, it
should already be installed.
