The aim of this book is to describe a selection of tools and techniques that can be used to script automatic maintenance and configuration tasks. Starting with simple activities and moving to the more complex, author demonstrates how a tiny script running automatically on each workstation can load more substantial scripts from a network server, which in turn can be used to carry out virtually any administration task that you can think of.

Although author tries to give useful examples of some of them, the emphasis of this book is not so much to suggest maintenance and configuration tasks that can be automated; to a large extent.
