Review

In this chapter, you've seen how the built-in WScript, Network, Shell, and Shortcut objects work. With these, you'll be able to write effective logon scripts, utility scripts, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, you've seen examples of how VBScript can be used to call on objects that are provided by the Windows operating system. Throughout the rest of this book, you'll be building on that skill to utilize more complex and powerful objects, including ADSI and WMI, to accomplish even the most difficult administrative tasks.

COMING UP

I'll continue working with objects in the next chapter by introducing you to the FileSystemObject. Then, in Chapter 13, I'll show you how to put together everything you've learned so far: You'll design, write, test, and debug an entire script, all from scratch.
