Most everything I tend to post here in terms of scripts and do in general is perl. joe - http://www.joeware.net (download joeware) http://www.cafeshops.com/joewarenet (wear joeware) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 10:32 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] scripting admin sorry for what is more of a personal advice question- i'm a perl guy and i was wondering if for proper windows scripting, should i learn VBscript or can i get away with most admining with perl and activestate. i run a couple of linux and unix servers, so perl makes sense, but would it behove me to learn VBscript or even VB to effectively script my win2k ad enviorment or can i get away with perl and its integer conversion et al and be a good admin mastering only one lang? thanks in advance List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ: http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ: http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
