Web Based Document Management Best Practices & General IT.Learning PowerShell isn't that hard, and it's absolutely worth it. Some common tasks that used to take 20 minutes manually now take 20 seconds with PowerShell.
I have created dozens of PS scripts to make my life easier. If that's the case, it's a small learning curve which makes it a viable option, especially when that person has already expressed a disinterest in PowerShell.įor the record: The future is in PowerShell, it's very capable, and um. Maybe the OP will find it useful, maybe not.įor all we know, the OP (or others that come across this thread in the future) could have used VB at some point, or have been exposed to VBScript in web development before. Rather than sound like a parrot and repeat what you and Bill already said, I decided to share another non-GUI option. Spiceworks is a place where IT Pros like ourselves can share different ideas so people facing decisions have a variety of options to choose from. The reason I didn't elaborate on PowerShell was because you and Bill did a good job of that already, and the OP stated he has already looked into PowerShell and didn't exactly seem ecstatic about it. Also, I started my comment with "Ditto on Powershell", meaning I recommend PowerShell. I said "If you are familiar with VBScript" to make it clear that I wasn't trying to suggest the OP learn VBScript if he doesn't already know it. I think you probably misunderstood my post. vbScript is great and it did a lot of good work, but the future is in PowerShell.No disrespect taken, Martin. If you're just starting out with a scripting language go with the one Microsoft is actively developing. No disrespect meant, Keith, but I disagree about learning vbScript. The last link shows the easiest method to rename a file with VBS using the MoveFile method (like cut and past from the command line, but paste it with a different name). Here's a few links that you may find useful.
Use task scheduler to run the script every X number of minutes.

If you are familiar with VBScript you could use Windows Scripts (use Notepad and save the file with '.vbs' extension). No, it's not a GUI, but in my opinion it's usually easier to read than a PowerShell script- but I've been using VB & VBScript for about 15 years- so it's safe to say I'm a little biased. However if you're looking for an alternative to powershell, you could consider VBScript.
