You're not a fake employee, I've seen you. :-) BrettSh, too.
It's that Stuart Kwan guy whose existence I'm doubting. (Come on, was that enough to inspire the rarity that is a Stuart Kwan ActiveDir post? Please? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ;-)) On 11/9/06, Eric Fleischman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Not that I really care if people say M$ or not, but I thought I'd comment on one thing, in the name of full disclosure…. My participation on this list has __nothing__ to do with money. I don't get compensated on any level for this. Heck, I don't even work on AD anymore, so this is like 2 degrees of separation away from anything that MS compensates me for. So, is MS out to make $? Sure. Is AD part of that money-making strategy? Sure. Does that have anything to do with MS employee participation on this list? I don't think so. Others (at least those that I can recall posting here as I type this mail) on this list fall in to the same boat. A couple of them don't work on AD anymore either. Why do I hang out here? I do it because I care about customers and about AD/ADAM. It has nothing to do with my salary. It's also why I still blog about AD, answer newsgroup questions, answer internal questions (DLs, PSS, MCS, other PGs, etc.), handle direct emails from a myriad of non-MS people (some I know, some are totally out of the blue), fix code for people that ask for help, etc. I don't get paid for any of this. ~Eric Borg #145719302 <Insert conspiracy theory here about how this whole mail is a lie and "the man" actually wrote it on behalf of the fake employee that goes by Eric Fleischman> ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vinnie Cardona Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 11:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: M$ To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: M$ I believe we all know that your statement is correct "like any other big company they are out to make $", what I inferred from what she was implying (did I get that right?J) is that although we all know that Microsoft is not perfect (…anyone want to cast the first stone?)…a grey-toned comment made on this mailing list is probably not appreciated…especially when this mailing list is used to help others.

After reading through a lot of the posts on this mailing list, I realize I could make my job easier if I knew how to script. I have no experience in scripting, but would like to know what books do you recommend as a beginner's book on scripting? Also, I don't really know the difference between WSH and VBScript, so if anyone could explain that, I'd appreciate that. After browsing through Amazon, I saw several books on WSH and VBScript, but don't know where I should focus on. I'm also open to computer based training (CBT) videos of any exist. Thanks in advance.
