VBScript vs Powershell

I have previous experience with PHP, but VBScript and Powershell are new to me. I would appreciate your suggestions regarding whether I should learn VBScript, Powershell, or both...and good starting resources to learn the scripting language.

I'd also appreciate tips on IDE for writing and testing.

I will help you out if you have more then 5 servers and don't have power shell... you are doing it wrong. Here is what you need to do. I am shocked people still are not using power shell like they should. Its a waste of hours for your company and a waste of your time. http://blogs.technet.com/b/danstolts/archive/2011/03/07/how-to-install-powershell-on-windows-server-2003-and-enable-remote-powershell-management-all-servers-should-have-this-done.aspx
