Please, can someone recommend me a good book on Windows server scripting specifically from Windows 2000 onwards.

I am looking for ways to make my day to day and weekly admin server role less tedious such as scrpting basis task like restarting a server or service etc.

I am also looking on how to redirect a users desktop saved items to a network path etc. Thanks in advance, for your input and information. Cheerio

This rules. Look no further.

For the first one, use a batch file utilising the 'shutdown' command, for the second, use folder redirection via Group Policy

 

Very cheap second hand aswell, nice one zeb btw whats with the new avatar

 

Thanks Zeb, saw that earlier on today on Amazon.co.uk web site but didn't have a review. Thanks for the suggestion much appreciated and yes you're right would be looking at group policy for the folder redirection task etc.

I have actually manually created a script to shutdown and restart the servers via schedule task etc.
