Great question. Technician Console scripts can be written in and deployed using any language the operating system can execute. For example a script can be written in a batch file using Visual Basic, or it can be a software package.
Some of the examples I provided are probably about as simple as you can get. All I did is use the command you would use at the C prompt and paste it into Notepad and saved it with a ".cmd" extension.
Perhaps a good place to start is using basic commands. Try Googling "command prompt cheat sheet" and that should get you started.
Does anyone have any resources for scripting which they have found useful?
Hey Rob,
I've included below some links to some of the best sites I've come across for scripting purposes.
www.ss64.com - if you're looking for the syntax you need to get your script going. (has some examples)
www.robvanderwoude.com - probably one of the best scripting sites with examples.
Also, we usually have a folder on most PCs we support with various Sysinternal tools, so when we need to run scripts we can also use those. There are online version of the tools now but we haven't really adjusted our scripts to use those versions.
With your and the rest of the community's help I hope we can make a really good collection of scripts available.
