Re: Good WSH Book

I'm looking for a good WSH book that meets the following requirements:

Must cover VBScript in-depth.
Must cover WSH in-depth.
Must cover ADSI to some degree.
May include some WMI content.
Covers newest version of WSH (not a book written in 2000)

I've done a lot of looking and can't seem to find something that meets my
requirments. Does anyone have any suggestions?

FYI - I purchased VBScript Step by Step (Ed Wilson) and find that it is
close to what I'm looking for, but it is very short on WSH and it's API.

I find the best resource is "Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide".
Besides the hard copy, it is available online at:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sagsas_overview.mspx?mfr=true

Covers VBScript, WSH, WMI, ADSI. I find no books written since that are
better. In truth, the only things added since that I can recall are some WMI
and AD attributes.
