February 02, 2004More on Windows Script Host (WSH)Andrew Clinick pointed out an article he wrote on MSDN about Windows scripting with WSH. Entitled "Providing a Secure eXPerience", he covers most that you would want to know about WSH in XP, stuff which I wish more people knew. As someone who was responsible for writing WSH in the past, Andrew hopes the FBI will take WSH off the list so he can sleep easier at night. For those at the FBI reading this, consider checking out his article and passing it on to the right people over there. Maybe some good will cover of that. Eric Lippert commented that Software Restriction Policies are available in Windows 2000. So there should be no excuse for not using them correctly across all NT5+ core systems. Eric has stated that he will expand on my tidbits about SRP in a future blog entry on his MSDN blog. Appreciate that. So there you have it. Happy reading!

Actually SRP is not in Windows 2000: From TechNet [*]: Software restriction policies are a new feature in Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Server 2003. This important feature provides administrators with a policy-driven mechanism for identifying software programs running on computers in a domain, and controls the ability of those programs to execute. Software restriction policies can improve system integrity and manageability—which ultimately lowers the cost of owning a computer.

Thanks for pointing out and confirming my suspicions Peter. Posted by: SilverStr at February 2, 2004 09:46 PM |
