WSH objects summary
Scripting without objects is very limiting. This month's scripting column introduces you to a sampling of the Windows Scripting Host objects, how they help you perform administrative tasks and work with your environment.
The WSH objects describe the basics of your environment and the way that your scripts running in the scripting host will execute and handle data.
Next month I will focus on a script that illustrates how to use some WSH objects.
