(If you??™ve already
updated your batch files to work in Vista, they??™ll also work fine in Server Core.)
Even with the limitations of a batch file, however, you might be surprised at the number of ways
that people use them. For example, if you find that you??™re constantly forgetting how to perform
tasks at the command line, create a menu system with your favorite commands. That way, you only
have to look up the command information one time. The following sections describe the programming
features of batch files and provide you with some sample batch files.
Finding Code Online
I??™m a code hound. I have more links to online code than I care to think about because all of these links are
useful in some way. This chapter contains batch file examples that help you understand basic principles
and perform some essential tasks at the command line. However, if you??™re like me, you??™ll want more;
you??™ll want examples that show you how to perform more tasks than I could ever include in a single
book. You can find a wealth of batch files for performing administrative or other essential tasks at the
Rob van der Woude Web site at http://www.robvanderwoude.
