WEXTR1: VBScript Basic Training (Bring your own Laptop) Tuesday
Don Jones
Scripting guru Don Jones takes you from "zero to scripting" in just one day. You’ll learn about the core VBScript language and how Windows Script Host can be used to automate Windows administrative tasks; you’ll also learn how to script with the two most useful technologies for Windows administration: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI). Everything’s presented in Don’s time-tested, signature style that’s helped thousands of Windows administrators learn these key technologies: Clear explanations, a touch of humor, and tons of examples (which you’ll be able to download). You’ll learn to write logon scripts, inventory remote computers, bulk-create users, perform security audits, remotely manage networked computers, work with files and folders, and much more.

WEXTR2: Windows Automation Advanced Academy (Bring your own Laptop) Wednesday
Don Jones
Take your scripting skills to new levels with leading-edge technologies You bring your existing VBScript skills (or attendance at the "Basic Training" course), and scripting guru Don Jones will "pump you up" with new technologies and techniques. Spend the morning learning advanced VBScript skills, including how to build your own command-line tools in VBScript, how to work with databases within your scripts, and many more advanced techniques. Then, spend the afternoon learning about the most leading-edge form of Windows scripting possible: Microsoft "Monad," the new shell included with Exchange 12 and released for Windows itself. You'll learn just enough of the Microsoft .NET Framework to put Monad through its paces, and you'll learn about every aspect of the Monad scripting language. You'll also meet dozens of Monad "cmdlets," which you'll use in your scripts to perform amazing administrative feats.
