On PowerShell
For Windows scripting, it's the future. It's got proper syntax (I know bash, and I also know actual not-congealed-over-decades languages, and bash is fucking horrific), gives you full access to the .net object model, etc. yadda.
It's a bit wordy, and you deffo want to use the PowerShell ISE environment at least at first.
Example (with a stupid syntax highlighting scheme that makes symbols a delightful salmon-pink-on-white colour):
