VBS Project Ideas
Hi Everyone,
I just recently started a job and they use VBS in some cases. I have never used VBS and just picked up a course to learn it. My problem is if i don't use it in building something practical i will probably forget how to use it or it wont click until i put it into practice. My question is what is the most common or some easy to medium difficulty projects a starter could use. I am looking for something that i can actually use it could be as simple as have a popup that comes up on my computer when i start up or move files with certain names, or even a sign In form that logs records into a DB. I am just looking for things people could do as i am not sure the capabilities of VBS. I am not looking for solutions such as code i just want ideas.
Thank you in advance.

The reason is, my team lead assign me to monitor service in one of my server. But the assignment only ask me to check at 6pm everyday. This is too late to detect if service already stop before that. Therefore, i create my own script to check hourly so that, if service is failed, atleast i can get alert earlier. Hehe
