What is a good source for learning scripting? I am seeing that a lot of potential positions that are available would like someone with scripting experience. I have had my MCSE for 2 years, yet have not been exposed to scripting. I am looking for samples, examples and basics that can be tried in a test enviorment. These should include automated updates, software pushes, logon scripts ect.
TIA

Reed,

Whilst Windows Scripting Host is a good basic scripting language. You may find Perl a more robust and beneficial language. It is very easy to learn and very powerful. The best way to learn Perl is to buy Perl for Dummies (ISBN 0-7645-0776-1) and just start playing with it.

You will find yourself writing powerful simple scripts in next to no time.
