Rating:  - Introduction to Scripting
This is a good book to introduce an experienced IT technician into the world of VBScript. With script, you can manage the computers on your network with less work. However, do keep in mind that you have to know how to use VBScript. And, to be honest, so far it has not been easy for me. But it is worthwhile to learn because this is a skill that any aspiring network administrator will need to learn. And this book does a credible job of introducing you to scripts.
Rating:  - Excellent reference for the IT professional
Like most reference books from MS Press, this is the Swiss Army Knife for the professional developer and systems administrator. Everything is presented in a clear and concise manner which is easy to follow. There are many examples which can easily be adapted to your needs.
Rating: - Good resource for script samples
This book does a pretty good job of starting you out in Windows scripting. I purchased it because I am a Windows server administrator and it looked like it would help - and it did.

I don't know about you, but to me a host is a machine on a network, usually a server of some kind. No, to Microsoft the Unix Boune shell is a scripting host!

Rating: - An Excellent start on my scripting education
I'm now up to Chaper 17 (of 18) and have read, highlighted and annotated my through the book. I've learned a tremendous amount, and have impressed my boss and coworkers with the great scripts I've been able tp put together with the aid of this book.
Pros: Great in depth coverage of of many topics.
Cons: It helps that I've had some minimal programming experience in college, but without ANY programming experience, this might not be the book to start with.
I'm moving ... Read More
