Introuction to Scripting

Here I will be discussing about the scripting related to system administratiion only. you may wonder why this is targeted towards you. Every system administrator
knows that knowledge in Scripting is an essential skill, but why most of them are not in? Reason is simple.

Everyone thinks like Scripting is really hard and time consuming. You may have heard the acronyms like WSH, WMI, ADSI, COM, ActiveX, ADO, CDO etc. and thinking like Bluescreen err codes are far better than this. Most of them is thinking that Writing code is not an admin task. There are Software engineers to do that. Why should I?

The primary purpose of this blog is to clear up the wrong concepts about scripting and related technologies. Anyone can write scripts, its pretty easy, you may wonder why I am simply telling like this. Me is the best person and example to explain about this.

Let me tell you, I am not a graduate and I never attended any training sessions for scripting or VBA. I am not good in English, but I learned scripting with the help of microsoft sites and other supporting sites. Now I am thinking to share my limited knowledge with you. If you find anything wrong in any of my posts, please make a comment or mail me about that. I am always open to correct it and if you can help me to learn new things, I will be very thankfull to you.
-----------------------------

There are many scripting technologies are there. But here I am mentioning about VBScript only. Mainly 2 reasons are there for that. First one is I dont know any other scripting languages other than VBScript. Second reason is VBScript is very easy to learn and use.

In this blog you may not able to find much technical terms and details as I am focusing in practical way of scripting only. If you want to learn in deep level, Please visit Microsoft Script Centre.

So from my next post we are starting to learn Basics of VBScript.

Welcome to The Scripting guy!

I have learned something about Scripting, VBA and some related content as part of my profession with the help of many sites and my own experiments.

I am thinking to share the things which I have learned from here.

You may not feel the content in this blog as very much new to you. But from by experience, I know many of IT Pros especially System Admins are strgling to get some idea about scripting to automate their simple administrative tasks.

If you are a scripting expert, you may feel like its simple and nothing. But for a beginner it may be very valuable information.

If anyone want to learn the basics of Scripting, VBA or VB. You are welcome!
