Hello,<br />
<br />
We are a K-8 school district and have currently enrolled the students for the NWEA MAPS testing. After the students are finished testing for the day, we need to upload the data from our servers to theirs (NWEA). &nbsp;They have provided an Network Test Environment (NTE) Administration Tool here:<br />
<a href="http://www.nwea.org/support/article/928" rel="ugc">http://www.nwea.org/support/article/928</a><br />
<br />
Now the data resides on a shared folder named &quot;NTE&quot; on our server. &nbsp; When you run the (NTE) Administration Tool, you have to select the path where the NTE folder is stored, and then select &quot;Upload&quot;<br />
<br />
My question is if there is a way to automate this program so that it upload the data automatically instead of me doing it manually.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I can only provide you the link for the (NTE) Administration Tool. &nbsp;When you run the program, you need a specific account that I cannot provide you. &nbsp;So I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction for scripting or macros and scheduled tasks to run this.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br />
<br />

Automated script to upload results to NWEA (MAPS Testing)

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
