Quick and Dirty Scripting

Hi. My name is Brian Denicola and this is the first post for what I hope will be a weekly blog that focuses on scripting for system administrators. I have working in the IT world for the past 10 years and have been automating tasks for most of them. This blog will focus on getting things done using any language available. But I'll mainly focus on Windows batch scripting, Bash scripting, VBscript, Perl, and Powershell. Every once in a while I might throw in a how to script for ASP.NET or SQL. I I won't be going into too much theory of the language, rather I hope to show how to get things done in Windows, Linux, or even VMware ESX. And I hope this will become a site where others can post how they do things as well.

Well that is all for now. Next time I will be show you how to send e-mail via powershell. I'll start simple and go from there.
