Thanks for the responses! I will look at both sites and try to solve my
problem. I do have one question. What book would you recommend for Windows

at that seems ok, but I was wondering if you had any recommendations. I have
some programming background, and would like to learn more about scripting for
network administrators in a Windows environment.
