VBScript would be something a Samba admin would know of due to VBS being used often for login scripts. Netlogon is a share you would have on your Samba server.

  “VBScript would be something a Samba admin would know of” — a login script doesn’t have to be a VBScript, could be CMD as well, or just an EXE. WSH is a general-purpose scripting environment unrelated to samba. Professional Windows system engineers use VBScript to automate their tasks, or at least they did before Win7 took off, with the PowerShell built-in. “Group policy is distributed over SMB” — SMB indeed takes part in the distribution, however LDAP protocol plays key role here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/canberrapfe/archive/2012/11/15/where-are-site-linked-group-policy-objects-stored-and-why-should-you-care.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/canberrapfe/archive/2012/11/15/where... Also it’s less important how they distributed or linked, it’s more important what they are — and AFAIK there’s no *nix equivalent.

      I ain’t trolling. Your problem is, you know almost nothing about Windows, but you pretend you do. You don’t even know there’s no VBScript in Word. The language you wrote you Word macros in 90-s was called VBA = Visual Basic for Applications. Compared to VBScript, it even have different syntax, and of course, they serve different purpose: while VBS is for system engineers, they target VBA towards office users. BTW, I coded both in 90-s.
