  Book Information

Windows Admin Scripting Little Black Book, 3rd Edition,
shows Windows users and administrators how to perform
Windows management and administrative tasks using powerful
scripts for just about every important task imaginable. It
covers techniques for working with files, input/output, text
files, and performing various network administrative tasks
through scripting. It presents the necessity of logon
scripts, the backbone structure of a good logon script, and
how to implement these scripts in an everyday environment to
automate repetitive tasks such as inventory, file
modifications, installations, and system updates. It also
provides an in-depth look into the registry and registry
editing tools including locating the important registry keys
and values, and modifying them.

The book features example scripts on every new topic covered
to reinforce what the reader has just learned. Key
scripting topics include manipulating the Windows XP file
system, using powerful third-party scripting tools, creating
scripts for installing service packs and new applications,
automating applications from the command line, and setting
up security features for Windows XP. Everything is included
in this book, and users can easily modify or combine the
scripts to perform myriad tasks. And the author has included
all the scripts on his website for easy reference.
