[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 770056, member: 37647"] Not only are scripts used by Microsoft during automated maintenance, but they are also used when they provide support. For instance, I had a problem a couple months ago with Office 365, I was on my 30 days free trial, and the MS support rep made a remote session with me, in the course of which the rep tried to run a script that used wscript. Maybe it was VBS, I don't remember. I tried frantically to turn off my advanced protection, and reassociate the relevant file type, but the rep just gave up and told me to reinstall Office LOL. So the moral of the story is that scripts, including powershell scripts, are quite convenient to MS. I don't think they want to give that up so quick, especially since they can sell script protection to businesses and make money. [/QUOTE]
