If you're interested in learning vbscript, may I recommend this book: "Managing Windows with VBScript and WMI" by Don Jones (ISBN 0-321-21334-3). There may be newer editions out by now, but I write vbscripts all of the time, and I still find myself referring back to that book. Microsoft's Script Center is a pretty good online resource and their "Scriptomatic" tool will help you dig into the bowels of WMI when you're trying to figure out how to script something that you can't find a good example on.
