- Developed to Simplify the Work of System and Network Administrators, FastTrack Scripting Host Version 6.0, the Most Thorough Rapid Scripting Tool Available, is Released Today by Binary Research International –

Binary Research International Inc. (BRI) announced today the release of FastTrack Scripting Host version 6.0, a pseudo-language designed to handle scripting needs in a Windows network. The new version features a full native interface for any operation performed on Active Directory users, groups, computers and organisational units. It continues to build on FastTrack’s cornerstone paradigm: any one operation requires only one script line. 
 
“Active Directory is notoriously difficult to script; even the ‘experts’ have difficulty producing an error-free script,” said Lars Pedersen, lead developer of FastTrack Scripting Host. “However, it can be done with the right tools. FastTrack gives the IT administrator the ability to do what was previously out of reach, empowering him to accomplish more in less time. With existing scripting tools maybe three out of 100 administrators can write advanced scripts related to Active Directory. With FastTrack, 100 of 100 can do it.”
 
For an example of an advanced script that FastTrack version 6 can automate, visit: http://fasttrackscript.com/Examples/HelpDeskApp.aspx FastTrack eliminates the need for third-party tools by allowing IT administrators the ability to develop an automated script without any programming knowledge. It’s a complete replacement for VBScript, PowerShell, Bat files, KiXtart and other Windows scripting tools. The user can easily create powerful domain logon, install and backup scripts, as well as perform administrative tasks and more via the FastTrack user-friendly GUI.
 
“FastTrack Scripting Host tries to solve one of the major problems in the world of an administrator,” Pedersen continued. “Scripting has always been a hybrid of development and administration. While Microsoft moves scripting more towards actual programming, FastTrack Scripting Host goes in the complete opposite direction. A good systems administrator is typically one that knows about infrastructure, not programming. While FastTrack is a scripting language, it’s so high-level and easy to use that it resembles configuration more than actual programming.”
 
FastTrack Scripting Host version 6 provides the simplest interface ever developed for the Active Directory by flattening the hierarchy and black-boxing all the complexities to the scripter. Active Directory business tasks can now for the first time be scripted by any IT administrator.
 
The latest version also doubles the amount of native commands, functions, conditions and collections and features a new simpler interface. It offers more graphical user interface capabilities to enable writing simple scripts that resemble Windows applications.
 
“FastTrack Scripting Hosting version 6 takes the administrator to the next level,” said Annette Dow, CEO, Binary Research International. “FastTrack simplifies the process of scripting any integration with Active Directory, making it possible for IT professionals to accomplish these tasks, saving time and money for the organisation.”
