We'll I have been using Windows Scripting Host to do maintenance on the computers in our comapany. Now I'm getting tired of dealing with vbscript for windows and bash for unix/linux systems. I'd like to standardize the scripting language I use for our company's mundane tasks. I've looked at everything and PHP seems awsome. So that would mean that I am talking about the side of PHP that you run from the command line. One important task though that I use a lot in vbscript is accessing the registry. I do it for a lot of things such as change settings for applications and stuff. I definitly am not planning to access the registry via their files. That would be sort of windows suicidal.. especially with XP. Vbscript has the support built in. I didn't expect the same from php however I know their is a lot of fancy stuff out their. Maybe it would be possible through COM. I have already tried out the php and COM combo and it seems to work alright. Haven't done that before though and I just wanted to see if anyone has come up with a simple way to do it. Any comments and ideas are appreciated.
