Host and Active Directory Service
Interfaces in Windows 2000
This white paper gives an overview of the scripting possibilities offered by the Windows
Script Host (WSH) and Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) components under
Windows 2000. It explains the basic concepts and practices related to WSH and ADSI.
After a WSH architectural overview, the document explains how to use this technology to
access basic Windows system components. This paper also provides a general ADSI
architectural overview and explains the basic access methods for the Active Directory.
Through several simple examples, the reader will discover how to combine WSH
functions with ADSI components in order to build a Logon Script under Windows 2000.
