Editor's note: This is the eighth column in a continuing interactive series on scripting that appears monthly on SearchWinSystems.com. You can send any scripting questions to the author, Christa Anderson, at scripting@searchwinsystems.com.
Last month, we talked about how to read and modify the Registry programmatically. As with the other scripts, a Registry-modifying script that only runs on the local computer doesn't save you much time. To be really effective, you need a script that you can run from one computer to touch other computers.
In this month's column, we look at the ways you can connect to remote computers by name or as part of an Active Directory domain.
