I can buy the "wmic will be ripped out" but this is hard to believe. So many corporate crap depends on vbs. Not only that, random programs, installers/uninstallers and more lazily use it. This was the thing you used in windows before powershell was a thing (this and jscript). You can maybe use mshta but it too can't do much without vbs/js code.
I'll give you an example: most hp printer setup crap uses mshta which if I remember right uses vbs code (could be jscript too). I assume since the windows script host supports both, this would affect jscript as well.
- amanzi 3y agoI still logon scripts written in VBscript that are still very much in production. Time to finally start converting those to PowerShell.
