I'm very experienced with batch, however limitations such as not being able to interrogate hardware devices has me using vbs code.

Can I run vbscript directly in my batch files rather than having to shell out to run a vbs file with cscript?

Below is the code I want to use to evaluate the fixed disks in my system:

Option Explicit
set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim WshShell,FSO,Drv,Dtype,Dfree,Dtot
Dim Dname,Dpct,Dused,Dserial,Dinfo
For Each drv in FSO.Drives
  
   if drv.DriveType=2 then Wscript.Echo "Drive letter: " & drv.DriveLetter
   if drv.Drivetype=2 then Wscript.Echo "Drive type: " & drv.DriveType
Next


Any help greatly appreciated!

Status: offline 		Ok, maybe I'll strart trying to learn vbscript then......

What are the best resources for someone who is used to scripting and is new to vbscript?

I have a load of batch files that I will need to convert......

I'm assuming running external .exe's and reporting the returncode from execution is all possible?

Sudo.

Yes, you can run .exe's and get their returncode. Look at WSHShell and the Run Method.
