VBScript or JScript that is hosted by Windows Script Host. VBScript is of course a SubSet of the Visual Basic Language without the Graphical User Interface (excepting simple message boxes) and is Interpreted by its' Host in exactly the same way that Dos Batch Scripts are interpreted by the Command Processor.
JScript is Microsofts' flavor of JavaScript. Both have their strengths with VBScript being the choice for most Admins (probably due to familiarity with VBA which is the language of MS office Apps) and JScript being used where more interaction with Html is required. Scripts are much more powerful, having the ability to interact with the filesystem and operating system in the proper security context.
