Free Tools for Scripting

We're making these tools available for free to the scripting community. While many are designed specifically for VBScript or ASP, the ones implemented as COM components will work with any COM-compatible language, including JScript, KiXtart, VBScript, and so forth. Instructions for using each is included in a separate PDF file, linked below.

We're granting you a free, non-exclusive license to use these tools. However, these tools are not public domain. You should read our Free Tools Universal License Agreement, since by using these tools, you're agreeing to the terms of that License Agreement.

"Best effort" technical support for these tools is provided in SAPIEN's Support Forums. Note that you must have a free SAPIENPASS account to access the forums.

Logon Script Generator

This free tool is an HTA that generates a fully functional VBScript logon script. Now you can script without scripting! At the very least you can quickly generate the foundation of a VBScript logon script that you can further modify and extend. The HTA generates VBScript code, lets you preview it and then save it to a file. Once saved, you can edit the code in PrimalScript with the click of a button. If you don't have PrimalScript, the saved script can be opened in Notepad. Requirements: Windows XP and an Active Directory domain.
