Windows Script Host object model

The Windows Script Host object model provides two main categories of ActiveX interfaces:

Properties and methods that are directly related to script execution. This set of interfaces allows scripts to perform basic manipulation of the Windows Script Host, print out messages to the screen, and perform basic functions such as CreateObject and GetObject.

Helper functions

Properties and methods for performing actions such as mapping network drives, connecting to printers, retrieving and modifying environment variables, and manipulating registry keys. Administrators can also use the Windows Script Host helper functions to create simple logon scripts.

In addition to the object interfaces provided by Windows Script Host, administrators can use any ActiveX controls that expose Automation interfaces to perform various tasks on the Windows platform. For example, administrators can write scripts to manage the Active Directory directory services.
