Over the years I have observed how Microsoft’s Visual Studio product kept reducing support for VBScript. The one complaint I have had the hardest time accepting was the inability to launch a VBScript from within the IDE. Turns out that feature has been there all along, I just never knew how to configure it properly.

Your hotel room is not a fortress
Over my life I have done quite a bit of travel where I would inevitably stay at a hotel. Every time I left the room I was concerned that someone could come in and rummage through anything I may have left. From this video you can clearly see how simple it is to enter a hotel room virtually undetected.

A 32-bit app in a 64-bit world
Working on a 64-bit OS like Windows 2008 R2 and trying to access files in the %windir% folder can present a challenge if you are using 32-bit applications or utilities. In my case I needed to backup the files in %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config folder and tried to use the 32-bit version of RAR. The result was an empty archive file; none of the files I could see with a simple dir command were included in the archive.

Updated my server backup script
I have recently updated my backup script to use RARLABS compression tool, named RAR.EXE, instead of NTBackup. I am posting my script with the idea that perhaps you might find my backup script useful. Included in this post is an outline of the script including the customizable options and the steps it performs.
