Chapter 32. WMI and ADSI Scripts

IN THIS CHAPTER

Although I've shown a dozen example scripts for WMI and ADSI, you may still feel like both technologies are a bit complex-they certainly look complex. My goal here is to provide some examples that will help take the mystery out of them.

WMI and ADSI both come across as incredibly complex. It's not surprising; the official Microsoft documentation doesn't help make them any more approachable. However, I've found that a few generic WMI and ADSI scripts can show you how to do just about anything with either of the two technologies. That's what this chapter is all about: providing you with some templates that you can use to write your own WMI and ADSI scripts to do anything you need.
