Powershell vs VBScript going forward
Hi folks.

Re: Powershell vs VBScript going forward
My personal opiion is to run away from VBScript and move to PowerShell. In my world, Citrix is moving to PowerShell for all management. XenDesktop 5 is based on PowerShell. XenApp 6 can be managed via PowerShell (and Group Policy). I bought the two PowerShell 2.0 books that MBS recommended and now just need to find the time to get started with PS2.0.
