Encrypt your Vb scripts before using with SCCM

Encryption of VB script:-

vb scripts are the sole for deployment we use vb scripts every where from MDT to SCCM there are various codes written in vb scripts which requires a password for the accounts we are dealing with.Few days back i created a vb script to set the local admin password according to the location of the machines but the only requirement for the script to get into production was to encrypt it & then use it.so,here is the process which we have use to encrypt our scripts.

For the encryption of vb script we are using a 3^rd party tool called Windows Script Encoder.

We need to install the application on the server. The default location where the application gets installed is:-

C:\Program files\Windows Script Encoder.

 

We need to browse to the app installation folder where the file screnc.exe is present and execute the following command.

Screnc.exe <Location of input script (vb script)> <location of output script (with vbe as the extension) >

This will generate an output script which will be in encrypted & in vbe format.

Note - Once the script is encrypted to vbe format we can’t change it back to vbs. we need to have a backup of the original copy of the script.
