Objectives Your company is currently planning to automate many different system administration tasks. Your manager has asked you to research a system administration task and implement it using VBScript.
In addition, your manager would like to see both a proposal that describes the system administration task and a complete VBScript solution with sample output runs.
In today's technical environment, IT professionals often are dislocated from their managers and peers, however, it is important to retain strong communication channels using technology.
Some workers work alone (telecommuters) while some may be on a team (virtual teams). Regardless of the modality, being able to get information to the right people is key.
To simulate this requirement, you will also be asked to create virtual presentations for your manager (instructor) using VoiceThread. You will also be asked to critique and question your fellow students by reviewing at least two presentations in weeks 3, 6, and 7.
