Guy's Scripting Ezines - Back Issues

What to expect from Guy's Scripting Ezine?

My speciality is getting people started.  Once people are up and running I like to support them with simple scripts, which are annotated with learning points and notes.

Each article has at least one script which you can copy and paste, moreover, I hope that you will be able to use the notes and examples to modify the code to suit your environment.

For the last year I have switched from VBScript to PowerShell, consequently the ezine now features PowerShell cmdlets rather than VB scripts.
