Being new to Windows scripting (been doing batch files for years, but this is a bit different) I was wondering if anyone has a good scripting guide they wouldn't mind sharing. Such as this wmi = this function etc..

I am looking for a good practical book on the subject. There are so many books, its hard to know which one is best.

Thanks/Jeff Thatcher 

Hi Jeff,

Since you're starting out in Windows scripting, I'd recommend you take a good hard look at PowerShell. There are several good PowerShell books already on the market. Here are a couple that I have read and recommend:

Windows PowerShell in Action, by Bruce Payette
Microsoft Windows PowerShell: TFM by Don Jones and Jeffery Hicks

If you're looking at WSH scripting, 99.99% of what's written is (in my opinion) unfortunately focused on VBScript. I recommend JScript for WSH scripting, but there are no books on JScript for WSH or HTAs.

Regards,

Bill
