Windows Script Host

The Microsoft Windows Script Host (WSH) is a scripting host which allows you to run external scripts on the Windows 32-bit platform. Use external scripts to automate specific tasks or create macros and logon scripts.

A Script Host is an application from which you start the script execution. The Script Host starts a script engine which runs the script.

All scripts executed by the WSH are called Windows scripts.

NetInstall Script Integration: Scope of performance

If the script engine is installed on a client, Windows scripts can be called directly from a NetInstall package via the command CallScript.
Moreover, there are specific eScript commands which can be used inside Windows Scripts (only if these are called from a NetInstall package).

If you use the CallScript command to call Windows Scripts from NetInstall, these scripts have the same scope of performance as the scripts that are run in the Internet Explorer on HTML pages. This means that objects or methods made available by the WSH such as WshShell are not supported. You need to access these objects, for example, via WScript.Shell.
