windows command line/shell

Here is a post I did on this thread:

on the NT side of things that is, NT/2k/XP/Vista;

cmd, and a host of tools have long been available for scripters. in corp land this stuff is used pretty often.

large cmd scripts, vbs scripts with all sorts of wsh, or just pure wsh. there are also tons of cmd/shell based tools available for scripters, things like ifmember for parsing nt and ad groups of cusrmgr the comand line user manager.

and on the vbs/Perl side of things there is tons of native calls you can do.


this is not rocket science, windows admins have been scripting since day one. (at least good admins do)

its not unlike good Unix admins, script everything. just becuase some people did not know, its possiable in windows does not mean you can do it. there is ven rysnc for windows, and most of the GNU tools have all been ported also. things like sed, etc are all there if you want them.

sheesh....
