I have a small network of Windows-based computers, PCs running Windows XP or Windows 7 and servers running Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2. I need to roll out some changes to all my PCs, some 60+ PCs and I am wondering whether vb script could help me. The two tasks I need to complete are as follows:-<br />
<br />
1. I need to set a default wallpaper on every PC. I would ideally like the wallpaper to be a series of photos that would be copied to a specific folder on the PC.<br />
<br />
2. We have a single login script for every user so we map the same network drives for evrybody, regardless of whether they need them or not. I'd like to create a script that would map a drive based on whether they belong to a particular security group or not.<br />
<br />
I found an article on EE where someone had a similar issue and vb script was suggested as a solution <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22686588/Screensaver-and-Group-Policy.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22686588/Screensaver-and-Group-Policy.html</a>&nbsp;and I'm sure vb script can help with my secod issue but I know nothing about vb script and how to use it.<br />
<br />
Can anybody suggest where I start with vb script? Are there any good websites or books that you can recommend?

Using script to apply domain-wide settings

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.
