Course Overview

The Microsoft VB Scripting course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and desktop support specialists seeking to automate administrative tasks in Windows environments using VBScript. While no current certification exam directly validates VB Scripting proficiency—due to Microsoft’s shift toward role-based certifications like Azure Administrator or Modern Desktop Administrator—this training remains essential for managing legacy systems, automating Windows operations, and supporting enterprise applications reliant on scripting. According to Microsoft, over 30% of enterprise Windows environments still utilize VBScript for automation, particularly in organizations maintaining older infrastructure or custom line-of-business applications.

This course covers core technologies including Windows Script Host (WSH), Active Server Pages (ASP), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Microsoft Office VBA integration, Internet Explorer scripting, and the use of VBScript within Power Automate desktop flows. Students engage in hands-on labs using the Windows command-line environment with CScript and WScript engines, where they build practical scripts to manage file systems, query registry settings, automate Outlook forms, and retrieve system information via WMI. A key real-world project involves creating a comprehensive inventory script that collects hardware and software details from multiple machines and logs them into a centralized CSV file for reporting purposes.

Although Microsoft has deprecated VBScript and transitioned it to a Feature on Demand in Windows 11 version 24H2—with no new certification exams planned—the skills remain valuable for maintaining existing enterprise systems. Professionals with scripting expertise often see salary premiums, with experienced system administrators earning between $75,000 and $95,000 annually in North America, according to labor market data integrated into Microsoft’s Credly certification platform. Koenig Solutions supports learners through its Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling model and access to official Microsoft training materials, ensuring consistent delivery even for niche topics. Graduates are positioned to transition toward modern automation tools like PowerShell while retaining critical capabilities for supporting legacy environments during digital transformation initiatives.

What You'll Learn

Automate legacy system tasks with Microsoft VBScript, serving as a critical skill for maintaining existing Windows infrastructure while facilitating migration paths to PowerShell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the VB Scripting training course

Is the Microsoft VB Scripting certification exam fee included in the course price, and what is the cost?
The VB Scripting certification exam is not included in the course fee and must be purchased separately. Microsoft does not offer a standalone VB Scripting certification exam today; legacy exams like 70-502 have been retired. Always verify current Microsoft Learn certification paths.
What training formats are available for VB Scripting at Koenig, and do they offer Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling?
Koenig offers VB Scripting training in live online, 1-on-1, classroom, and self-paced Flexi formats using official Microsoft courseware. All public batches are Guaranteed-to-Run, meaning sessions proceed even with a single student, ensuring your schedule remains reliable and firm.
How long is lab access provided for VB Scripting training, and what type of environment is used?
Lab access for VB Scripting is provided for 30 days via Koenig’s LET Platform, utilizing cloud-hosted Windows environments. These labs simulate real-world administrative scenarios, allowing students to master WSH, ADSI, and file system automation tasks without requiring complex local setups.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the VB Scripting course?
Rescheduling with over 7 days' notice incurs no fee; changes within 7 days cost 50% of the course fee. Cancellations made 10 or fewer days before the start date are subject to a 50% charge, per Koenig’s standard Terms of Service.
What is the format, number of questions, passing score, and time limit for the VB Scripting certification exam?
Microsoft does not currently offer a dedicated VB Scripting certification exam. Legacy exams like 70-502 featured 55 questions, a 90-minute duration, and a 700/1000 passing score. Candidates should pursue broader Microsoft certifications like Modern Desktop Administrator that include essential scripting components.
How long is the VB Scripting certification valid, and what is the renewal process and cost?
