Here are more scripts like the ones I presented in "Short, Sharp Scripts," January 2002, InstantDoc ID 23366. I've used this mixed bag of scripts to perform a variety of tasks over the past month: killing programs, performing folder recursion, retrieving details about all the printers attached to a PC, retrieving a list of Microsoft SQL Server systems in a domain, and starting and stopping FTP sites. You might find these scripts useful for your scripting toolkit.
Some of the scripts use freeware ActiveX COM components that you need to download to run the scripts. These components sometimes offer more functionality than I use, so check out the URLs that I provide to find documentation that can help you expand and enhance the scripts.
For each script, the computer running the script is the source, and the system that the script connects to is the target. When the source and target are the same computer, you need to run the script locally on that machine. . . .
