INSTALL MSI PACKAGES WITHOUT YOUR MUCH INVOLVEMENT :

You all download stuff from internet, I too do it periodicallyat office we
download Microsoft updates to be installed in the systems. while installing it
becomes a pain for us to keep on clicking on next>next>Finish button at each
systems which are time consuming.
So to avid them..Just follow the below commands in the same format.

Example:
Internet Explorer setup9.exe z m
Or
Internet Explorer setup9.msi z m

Above commands are applicable only if you are going to install a update or setup
file similar to IE5,6,7,8,9 setups. This wont popup any window but just installs
them in the background.

SCRIPT TO DISPLAY OS VERSION DETAILS (VBSCRIPT):

Paste the code in notepad and save the file as Version.vbs

strComputer = .
Set objWMIService = GetObject(winmgmts: _
& {impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\ & strComputer & \root\cimv2)

Set colOSes = objWMIService.ExecQuery(Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem)

For Each objOS in colOSes
Wscript.Echo Computer Name: & objOS.CSName
Wscript.Echo Caption: & objOS.Caption Name

You cant call it a for loop but,Im just defining that for SCR1(consider as
source1) parent profiles folder im just asking it to delete the SCR2 folder
contents.
Syntax : FOR /D %variable IN (set) DO command [command-parameters]
If set contains wildcards, then specifies to match against directory
names instead of file names.
Above syntax check for the profile directory and deletes the folder or its
contents forthe set defined in the parameters.

I dont know whether u understood it but hope u get it

used is simple commands that are confusing you

There are few circumstances where you need another way.Also my script gives

and as per you its more than 100% faster
