perform with your other tools. A WiseScript can retrieve
information about a computer, prompt for input if necessary,
and take action as a result of that information. A WiseScript

You can also create a library of WiseScripts to resolve common
problems and perform routine maintenance. In Software

Delivery task to deploy your WiseScripts on an as-needed or
regularly scheduled basis. You can add any of those tasks to a
Managed Software Delivery policy to run the scripts as part of a
larger delivery process.
