Hi

Need to learn some basic-intermediate scripting for administration of our
servers. But the only thing, never written a script in my life, nor do I
know the proper syntax of how scripts are put together.

Looking for a good-great book, with lots of examples, and a CD would help.
I don't want to get waaaaaaay to complex here, just need to get started.

Thanks guys/gals

I don't know of any good books, as I do very little scripting, myself,
but this might be one place to get you started:

Look for ADSI in www.ebay.com

Dino Esposito is pretty good. Also the ADSI Black Book pub by Coriolis.

Finally there is a Windows Scripting newsgroup:

microsoft.public.scripting.wsh

Hi,

I got started by downloading Microsofts default vbscripts and
modifying them. I have quite a few on my website for modifying AD.

I Highly Recommend the Windows 2000 Scripting Bible. It is great and
has helped me create a lot of scripts and learn how to do more complex
things.

Cheers,

Lara

A great scripting book I've used is Windows Admin Scripting Little Black
Book.

It has scripting, wmi and kixtart, along with many examples.
