Back in 2001, I created DotVBS on Blogger, a specialized blog focused on Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server (2000 & 2005), VBScript, and PowerShell for Windows Systems Management. It was a way for me to share some information with other Windows professionals, offering a blend of practical solutions, scripting insights, and troubleshooting tips.

Though I stopped posting to the blog in 2012, I’ve kept it online as a resource for anyone seeking solutions and insights in managing Windows systems.

Highlights:

  1. Reading the SCCM Client GUID (March 27, 2012): Discusses how to read the SCCM Client GUID using VBScript, WMIC, and PowerShell.
  2. How to Troubleshoot SMS Client Install Errors (November 06, 2008): Offers advice on troubleshooting SMS client installation errors.

  4. SMS SQL for Last Discovery (August 01, 2008): Provides an SQL query to determine the last discovery date for a computer.
