Chapter 2. Running Scripts

IN THIS CHAPTER

It is time to start running-and more importantly, editing-scripts. In this chapter, you'll learn the various ways to execute a script, and learn about the ins and outs of creating and editing scripts. You'll also have your first experience with an administrative script!

Suppose you have several scripts ready to run-what do you do with them? Do you load them into Visual Basic and compile them? How do you distribute them to your users for use as logon scripts? What about when you're ready to start writing your own scripts? What tools are available, and how well do they work? This chapter is designed to introduce you to your scripting toolbox, the bits you'll need to write, run, edit, and debug your administrative scripts.
