By: Gunter Born

Since the release of Microsoft Windows 98, the Windows Script Host (WSH) has become increasingly popular as a tool for automating routine, daily PC tasks to save time and effort.

Scripting XML and WMI for MS SQL Server
By: Tobias Martinsson

At first I found it very strange that XML and WMI are the only 2 topics discussed in this SQL Server book but now that I have the book I can’t put it down. Did you know that SQL Server ships with a WMI provider? It is not part of the install process so you have to install it from the x86\other\wmi directory and it works for version 7 or 2000. Nearly half the book is an appendix which cover the WMI schema but that’s OK, we all know how hard it is to find WMI documentation. The book comes with a CD containing lots of sample VBScripts.

Sam's Teach Yourself Windows Scripting Host in 21 Days
By: Thomas Fredell, Ian Morrish, Michael Morrison, Stephen Campbell, Charles Williams

This book tells you what you need to know to build valuable utilities with the Windows Script Host (WSH, formerly the WindowsScripting Host). He explains the WSH object model, how to write programs with it, and how to run those programs. The material on VBScript and JScript won't teach you the languages, but it provides enough information to clarify structure, syntax, and other basics for programmers who work with many languages at once.

The best parts of this book are the examples, written using an even mix of JScript and VBScript. Fredell provides explicit (and adaptable) programs that show how to use the WSH with Microsoft Office, Internet Information Server (IIS), and SQL Server, as well as for user administration tasks in Windows 98 and Windows NT 4. The book goes into great depth on the relationship between the WSH and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)--a powerful connection that's not possible to simulate with shell scripting. The inclusion of scripts that manipulate Active Directory file systems will wow Windows 2000 users (and those who plan to be).
