By The Scripting Guys A long time ago, even before any of the Scripting Guys were born, people used to walk from one place to another. Not for exercise or recreation, but because they had to get somewhere. Those who were fortunate enough to have other forms of transportation could move along a little more quickly on their horses, camels, elephants, or whatever the local pack animal happened to be. (And to those of you still using any of the preceding as your primary mode of transportation—we’ll be thinking of you the next time we’re stuck in traffic.) Then this thing came along known as the horseless carriage. Many people laughed. They said things like “It’s just a fad,” “Why would I ever want one of those?” and even “That looks too dangerous.” Then there were the very few visionaries who said, “Wow, cool, I want to try one of those.” These last people were the ones who recognized not only how much fun a car could be, but how it could someday save them hours, even days, of travel time in getting from place to place.

(yes, all the way back to step zero) and talk about what scripting is. Scripting languages besides VBScript. With Microsoft Windows. See VBScript.

People today have experienced some of the same reactions to scripting as those people had to cars all those years ago. “Why would I want to script?”; “Scripting is just for those fanatics who don’t want to run their systems like everyone else does”; and even, “Scripts are dangerous.” But actually, you don’t need to be visionary or adventurous to try scripting.

You just need to be the type of person who wants to save some time. (It’s still only the fanatics who think it’s fun though.) Scripts not only make your work go faster, they can make your job easier. And once you learn the basic rules of the road, they’re not all that difficult to operate. (And there are very few traffic jams.) Step 1. Code C: >cscript test.vbs This is the very first thing you need to know to start using scripts to manage your Microsoft Windows systems. Well, okay, technically it’s the second thing you need to know.

The first thing you need to know is how to find the Script Center, but since you’ve obviously done that, we decided to leave out that step. On the Script Center (and possibly elsewhere on the Internet, but we can’t vouch for anyone else), you’ll find a lot of pre-made, ready-to-go scripts. A script will look something like this.

There are probably some of you out there saying, “Hey, this didn’t work! What’s the deal?” Don’t worry, you’re not alone. A common misstep in following the instructions we just gave you has to do with the Save As functionality. If you select Save As in Notepad and type a filename in the File Name box, Notepad will helpfully append a.txt file extension to whatever name you give it.

So, if you type in test.vbs, you’ll end up with a file named test.vbs.txt. There are two easy ways to prevent this, it’s your choice as to which way is easiest for you: • Surround the filename with double quotes. Instead of typing test.vbs in the File Name box, type “test.vbs”. • Select All Files from the Save As Type list box before clicking Save. Perform these same steps and you can run just about any script you’ll find in the Script Center.

What is all this scripting stuff anyway? Oh, you want to know more? Okay, let’s step back a moment (yes, all the way back to step zero) and talk about what scripting is and why you might want to use scripts.

Scripting is just a way to automate getting information to and from your computer (and other computers). Our first script did this: we gave a sentence to the computer and got the same sentence back from the computer. This may not seem like an especially useful feature, but this was just a first step, and one step doesn’t even get you all the way across the room, let alone out the door.

(Okay, one of the Scripting Guys did once live in an apartment where one step could get you across the room. But, for various reasons we won’t go into [something about ice and giant spiders], that apartment wasn’t much more useful than our first script.) There are a number of scenarios where scripts start to get really useful. Here are just a few: • You have to perform a series of system administration tasks on a regular basis • You have to perform a series of system administration tasks on several computers • You want to consolidate and organize the output you get from the computer • You want to run tasks when you’re not there to interact with the GUI • You need to ensure the exact same actions are repeated each time a task is run If you think about some of the work you have to do as a system administrator, you might already be imagining tasks you want to script.
