Custom script files are used to configure the software settings, trigger events, etc in the
computer of a network. The custom script files can be batch (.bat), command (.cmd),
Windows Script Host (WSH) files. The WSH files includes the VBScript (.vbs), Java Script
(.js), Perl (.php), REXX, and Python files.
The important custom Script files can be stored in Inventory so that they can be used in
