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 technologies.
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 administrators
are tackling advanced topics, which tells me that Windows has truly become an enterprise
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 education.
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!
