Scripts have multiple helpful uses, such as:

    Basic Automation

    Restarting Machines

    Remapping Network Drives

    Installing Applications

    Automating Backups

    Gathering of information/ data

    Initiating Updates

There are risks in using scripts, including:

    Unintentionally introducing malware

    Inadvertently changing system settings

    Browser or system crashes due to mishandling of resources
