Microsoft ® Windows Script Host 5.8

Microsoft ® Windows Script Host (WSH) by Microsoft Corporation is a built-in Windows component that provides a language-independent environment for automating tasks and administering Windows systems. It runs scripts written in VBScript and JScript by default and can host other COM-compatible scripting engines, making it a flexible tool for IT professionals, power users, and developers.

Key capabilities:

• Two execution modes: wscript.exe for GUI-based scripts and cscript.exe for command-line operation, suitable for interactive use, scheduled tasks, and remote administration.
• Access to core Windows automation surfaces, including the file system, registry, network resources, WMI, and COM/ActiveX-enabled applications.
• Support for command-line arguments, standard input/output, error handling, and basic debugging.
• Easy integration with logon/logoff scripts, Group Policy, and Task Scheduler.
• Common use cases include software deployment, system inventory, configuration changes, file and printer management, and “glue” automation between applications.

WSH is included with Windows (no separate license required) and recognizes common script extensions such as .vbs and .js. For security-conscious environments, organizations can restrict or disable WSH through policy and encourage the use of signed scripts to reduce risk.
