Most of the VBScript samples were created using Microsoft's Scriptomatic tool, the KiXtart scripts were my own "translations" of the VBScript versions, most of the other scripts were generated by my WMI Code generator.
The (XP) batch files use WMIC (only available in Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 and later).
Most, if not all, of these scripts can be used for any WMI enabled computer on the network.
