Hi Jacqui,
(PLEASE WATCH FOR URL WRAPPING!) I do have a few I could mention, one tool you absolute need when scripting using VBScript for Ad is the ADSI scriptomatic you can obtain it here:
This tool has pre built scripts for adding object reading information etc, a tool for every ADSI programmer. A full description can be found at the link below: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url="">
Other little bits worth mentioning:
Script Center Resources: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url="">
Script Center(link that takes you straight to the scripts that you want) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url="">
Also have a look at these some other News Groups, this group is excellent with some quality members here that provide AWESOME answers. One other good adsi group is: Microsoft.public.adsi.general
If you ever venture into the world of .NET and System.DirectoryServices programming with any LDAP directory AD, iPlanet Exchange ... Let me know, there is a group that deals with that as well.
I hope this gets you started!

There are some links to ADSI and scripting resources on the ActiveDir web site:
http://www.activedir.org/links.htm
Carlos probably has more.
One link I have yet to put up on the ActiveDir web site is to Robbie Allen's code from his Cookbook. This is an excellent resource and pretty much a one-stop shop for all your scripting needs.

Oh, and the Cookbook itself is great, although it's not available yet. You can pre-order it from Amazon.

I seem to be have to report more and more information on the AD. As I am not from a scripting/programming background writing VBscripts is a little bit trial and error.
Can anyone recommend any Web resources, books etc that will help me.
The way I normally achieve my end result is by trawling the web and finding a script that does part of what I wish it to do, trying to work out what it does exactly, then amending or adding bits (usually from another script). The problem I feel I have is understanding things like the core components of a script, correct syntax say for LDAP queries and object/property names. I would really like to understand what I am doing and be able to achieve simpler scripts from scratch rather than having to rip off others hard work.
Many thanks,
