What exactly are you looking to accomplish. There are hundreds of commands you can use in scripting. Your best bet would be to research exactly what you want to accomplish. Google is a great place to start. The amount of things you can do with scripting in a server environment is almost a nebulous concept.

You need to create them in notepad and save them as a .BAT file.

This is a good one for restarting a computer by force

Code:

shutdown.exe -f -r

C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\DOMAINNAME.com\scripts

Running them depends on what you are trying to accomplish. You can run scripts from Group Policy.
