Using the Scripting TemplatesUsing the Scripting Templates

The scripting templates provide a framework for developing scripts that run against one or more remote computers. In many cases, you can take a script designed to run against a single computer (such as the scripts found in the Script Center Repository) and – by copying code from that script and pasting it into the template – quickly and easily create a script that runs against, say, all the computers whose names are listed in a text file. You can browse the template categories below and/or click the above link for more information on how to use the templates.
