It seems like that after 30 years, the good old favorite scripting language for sysadmins is going to rest in peace.
VBScript aka Visual Basic Script was introduced in 1996 and integrates active scripting into Windows environments, and communicates with host applications through Windows Script.This was one of the favorites scripting languages for system administrators.
Microsoft announced VBScript's deprecation October 9th on it's "Deprecated features for Windows Client" article following the September announcement of WordPad end of life.
So, the plan to retire VBScript starts with it being preinstalled via Features on Demand (FoD), and in the "near future" remove it from the OS and only available has a FoD.
It had a been a long and fantastic life for VBScript. For those that never tested PowerShell, now is time to really dig into it.
Long live VBScript. :)
