Windows Admin Scripts

Welcome to my scripting page. Here is a collection of scripts I've put together over the years to make my job easier and amaze people. Warning: these scripts are not always formed properly and should not be considered for a tutorial - I skip over stuff like "Dim" and "Option Explicit" a lot and error-checking is definitely lacking in places. If you find something that is done the "right way", I probably borrowed it from someone else and I'll give credit if I can remember who. I rarely write a script from scratch but usually take snippets from here and there and modify an existing script.  Remember to copy and paste with care because vbscript doesn't play well with misplaced CRs and LFs. Word-wrap confuses things too.

But the important thing:  these work for me, save me lots of time, and nothing has caught on fire... yet.

I want to give credit up front to:

http://www.robvanderwoude.com - Excellent! He explains things clearly and he does syntax right. I even borrowed his disclaimer (see below)
http://www.rlmueller.net - Him too! You can learn alot from these two.
http://www.w3schools.com
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy

I'm certain that a great deal of their code lives on here.
