Is it possible to take a screenshot from a script, either batch or VBS? I've seen many references to a "screenshot.vbs" on Google, but I haven't been able to find the actual code.

My situation requires me to get a screenshot of a remote system that will have no connectivity when I need to get the shot. I'm hoping there is something I could throw either into the Startup folder, or somewhere on the Start Menu where a user could access it (there is no Print Screen button on this system; it's a custom keyboard).

I'm sure there is a small vbs script out there that will do this, unfortunately, I couldn't find it either.

Would it be possible to use one of the many freeware, screenshot taking programs?

I had been looking for one, but had been having trouble finding a freeware solution that uses the command line (no GUI at all) and can be used in a corporate environment without licensing issues.

You can use Perl for this.

Haven't tested it yet cause im to lazy to install the modules, but it should work.

I am curious about getting into Perl, but I'm limited as to what I'm allowed to install on this system. Basically, it has to already run on Windows out of the box.
