ScriptAhead Features
Windows Scripting is a great tool for automating your daily tasks.
Microsoft Windows provide a powerful scripting platform that helps Administrators automate their job and administer any number of computers remotely.
The downside is that you, as an IT professional, must learn and harness the power of technologies such as VBScript, WSH, WMI, COM and more. And then, you have to write your scripts, debug them, document them and deal with all kinds of complex programming concepts.
ScriptAhead writes WMI scripts for you
ScriptAhead is an application that helps you compose custom, production quality, automation scripts in seconds, without effort and without any scripting knowledge required.
Using a simple Drag and Drop interface you may:
- Choose from an extensive set of predefined tasks (such as Get Service, Stop Process, Install Software etc)
- Combine them in any order
- Configure them
And ScriptAhead will instantly generate a script to accomplish the selected tasks.
More than an automation tool.
While a number of automation tools exist in the market, ScriptAhead differentiates itself by not tying you in to a proprietary technology. That is, you don’t come up with an obscure “script” that needs an underlying application to act as a “player” or “agent”.
Rather, ScriptAhead translates the task you build into a standard VBScript file that runs under the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) and utilizes standard Microsoft technologies such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to manage one or more, local or remote computers on your network.
Unlimited Extensibility
ScriptAhead comes with more than 130 tasks that, in combination, let you automate virtually any aspect of your computers and network. However, since ScriptAhead generates a well-formed, fully-documented VBScript file you can always edit and extend the final script in the unlikely case that your needs exceed ScriptAhead capabilities.
Great Value
Since the product of ScriptAhead is a standard Windows Scripting file, you are free to copy it and execute it in as many machines as you wish within your company. No need to install agents or worry about “per machine” licensing.
