The place of scripting
In Windows Server 2003 and to a lesser extent in Windows 2003, scripting is a
vital skill for those of us who look after the network. For the
curious there are 5 secrets to mastering scripting.
- How to write VBScript or JScript
- The role of WSH
- The models used by ADSI and WMI
- LDAP attributes and syntax
- When to use which built in commands to use CSVDE, LDIFDE or CSCript.

How to learn scripting
In listening to network administrators or techies, I discovered that they
learn by finding other people's scripts and modifying them!
This scripting section has lots of scripts, feel free to copy, change the odd
variable then run on your server.
- Map network drives with Logon Scripts
- Bulk import of users - CSVDE and LDIFDE
- Generate users with WSH
- Create and modify users with DSadd and DSmod
