Windows scripting Insights

What is Windows scripting?

Windows Scripting is a technology that allows users to automate tasks and manage Windows systems using various scripting languages. Common languages include VBScript and JScript (an implementation of ECMAScript). It's frequently used for system administration, automating repetitive tasks, creating custom tools, and managing software deployments. PowerShell has largely replaced VBScript/JScript for modern automation tasks, but the older languages are still supported and found in legacy systems.
