My previous employer removed it from 15,000 workstations. Bet you can't guess who that was! Hence my many posts in the past on APIs :o)

>The biggest problem I see with WSH is that some IT departments disable it (or don't allow it to be installed) on user's pc's due to security concerns. I find that using API's in all cases gives far less problems overall.

>>WHS wraps API calls with OOP interface. Always it hides complexities of managing input and output parameters and calls.

>>Whenever possible try to use WSH.

>>Possible issues against WHS:
>>- sometimes installed WSH version is old to support certain functionality
>>- API covers much more larger areas than WHS
>>- sometimes API calls give more control over the process
>>
>>Also WHS has bigger overheads comparing to API, though it's hardly important.
