What about the programming?

Well its been 1 year since I started in the IT field and
things look alot different outside of an MCSE book. Im
finding that I need to know alot that wasnt taught in
school. Programming is something that I will need to learn
in order to be a productive and effecient LAN admin. I was
told to start out learning VBS. Figured I get some feed
back from others in my shoes. I started looking at
Microsoft's library on VBS, any good learning resources on
the topic would be appreciated. Thanks

Jeremy,
Scripting is a very helpful tool, especially to help automate those
repetitive tasks. You will find that scripting will be worth the time you
have to spend learning it. VB Script and the Windows Scripting Host are
also pretty simple to learn. We have a new LAN admin that knows VBS and he
has been hard at work scripting most of the tasks that the previous admin
would do by hand. Before long he will be sitting back doing nothing.

http://www.bookpool.com/.x/ah22c49qri/sm/0735609314 - This book has been
very helpful to me as a reference and for the examples.

Good Luck,
Matt

You only want to learn VBS or WSH if you plan on only working with
Windows systems. They are useless anywhere else.

The best and most commonly used scripting language is PERL. It is a
very robust language and is easy to learn. It will also very
portable, so you can use it on any OS.

I use perl on Win, HP-UNIX, VMS and Solaris.
