Bennett's Windows Scripting Links

Microsoft Links

• Defragmenting Disks the Windows 2003 Way  Discusses how to use the Win32_Volume class inside scripts to defrag both remote and local disks.
• Technet Script Center  Microsoft calls this "your one-stop shop for all your Windows system administration scripting needs".

Software

• PrimalScript  Possibly the best commercial IDE for scripting
• ConText  An excellent freeware editor that has been around for many years.  Supports many different languages and file formats through the use of highlighters.
• Komodo  If you are going to use Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, or Tcl, Komodo is really your best choice.  The personal version, that is not for professional use, is only $29.95.  The full-blown professional version that includes features for team development runs $295.
