ScriptAhead

ScriptAhead will help you to create scripts that can automate tasks on a Windows computer or network. With ScriptAhead you can pick from a vast collection of pre-written scripts that cover a wide range of tasks. Using an easy-to-use interface you can combine and configure them to suit your needs precisely. Then, with the click of a button, you can compile your new script. It is a quick and easy process to create standard windows scripts that fulfill your needs.

You may use scripts created by ScriptAhead to monitor and manage different aspects of the local or remote computers on your network. For example, you may create scripts to monitor services, to kill processes, to backup or clear event logs, to send email, to read or modify registry settings, to manage files and folders, and much more. All of the time-consuming and repetitive tasks that required your human intervention can now be automated using plain scripts.

ScriptAhead creates production quality, error free, fully documented scripts using standard technologies. The scripts produced are in VBScript and utilize the power of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Perhaps best of all is that you can create complex and useful scripts in minutes without any scripting knowledge required. Give it a try!

While a number of automation tools exist in the market, ScriptAhead differentiates itself by not tying you in to a proprietary technology. That is, you don't come up with an obscure "script" that needs an underlying application to act as a "player" or "agent".

Rather, ScriptAhead translates the task you build into a standard VBScript file that runs under the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) and utilizes standard Microsoft technologies such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to manage one or more, local or remote computers on your network.

ScriptAhead comes with more than 130 tasks that, in combination, let you automate virtually any aspect of your computers and network. However, since ScriptAhead generates a well-formed, fully-documented VBScript file you can always edit and extend the final script in the unlikely case that your needs exceed ScriptAhead capabilities.
