Having been in that unenviable position in the past (but thankfully no longer
;-), I would have to suggest Perl. ActiveState's Perl implementation includes
WSH bindings, and couple that with the Win32::Lanman module, and you have
access to just about anything you need. I've used to provide an intelligent
logon script framework, used Perl/Tk to provide help desk with a GUI user
management tool for the domain controllers, and so on.
