This is a good site for reference scripts. There is stuff in there that you can use to create user accounts, create directories and create shares.

I have not been able to do anything with VBScript, otherwise I might have tried it. If you know of any good sites that have stuff about it and tutorial/sample code, then that would be a good start. I have been working with the Microsoft stuff right out of the box, and has worked pretty good, other than this.
Thanks,
Terry Caleb
