I've been using quite a lot of VBScript for my work, which we use for general admin tasks such as transferring or downloading files, logging, or interacting with databases. Basically, stuff we need a quick and dirty script for and where creating a program would be too much effort!
VBScript, which is actually a subset of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), is actually quite handy for stuff like this, and whilst not the most flexible or powerful, it has its advantages.
