I introduced the concept of objects last month, but we skipped one crucial point: Where do these objects come from?
Some objects, such as the desktop shell, network connections or parts of the Registry, are native to the Windows Script Host (WSH). File System Objects provide access to the file system and represent drives, files, folders or text.
VBScript also supports Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI). WMI objects represent physical and logical parts of the computing system, such as IP addresses, file systems and network cards. ADSI objects represent resources stored in a directory service such as Active Directory (AD) or other supported directories, such as the Windows NT 4.0 SAM.
