Résumé

IT Administrator's Top 10 Introductory Scripts for Windows helps administrators and systems engineers learn, and quickly implement, new scripting tools to increase productivity and reduce redundancy. It teaches scripting basics by explaining and breaking down real-world examples, such as how to enumerate and dump the users, groups, and computers of Active Directory and an easy-to-use tool that collects basic local computer configuration information. It does not require an invasive software installation. The book is built around 10 fully functional scripts that will help IT administrators manage their environment right"out of the box." Administrators also learn the strategies and tactics surrounding the development and implementation of these real-world scripts. Additionally, the chapters cover hypothetical, real-world business needs and explain how to map a script-based solution, including a discussion of the preferred language, tools, and technologies.
