Summary: There Are Better Books Available
Comment: The code examples in this book are too short and incomplete to be of real help to a real system administrator trying to implement scripting for the first time. For example, in trying to use ADSI (Active Directory Service Interfaces) the author has you flipping back and forth between code fragments in Chapter 14 and the Appendix. In neither spot does he actually put it all together to demonstrate how you use the methods correctly. All you get are bits and pieces, with no good explanation. Your money would be better spent looking elsewhere for help.
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: I would recommend this text to anyone who would like to gain an understanding of Windows Scripting; for those that want a quick fix or an exhaustive guide, this would not be for you. Big bonus are the side by side JScript and VBScript examples. I've never seen that before. Highly recommended but not the definitive text.

Summary: Good reference, but not that usefull
Comment: I purchased this book just to add to my scripting knowledge. What I found is that the information provided is really at a very basic level, with poor examples, and a lot of omissions.
Although the author hit all of the major topics, the examples given, and explanantion of what was being done in the examples would have left me without a solid understanding of how to use them in the real world if I did not already know 90% of it. In addition, entire chapters on how to work with specific items skip the most obvious and simple methods of scripting how to work with those items.
On a positive note, the index is accurate and makes it easy to look up a specific sytax when needed.
In summary, it is decent as reference material, but don't rely on this book to teach scripting. You will be left with a lot of questions, overly complex methods of accomplishing goals, and no idea that many of these things can be scripted in ways never even mentioned.
