Question vssadmin + System Restore etc

VSS = Volume Shadow Copy

I read conflicting accounts on different www's about vssadmin being able, or not, to delete selected System Restore points, amongst other things. Is this true ?

I was able to launch vssadmin through CMD, but that was all !

Name:  vss.gif
Views: 124
Size:  8.2 KB

I had noted various commands listed on those www's, but none appeared to be accepted ?

Is this possible, or not, & if so how ?

TIA

Using XP/SP2 for the above test.

@ lodore

Thanks but it requires .NET which i don't have or want.

powershell

Windows PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation framework, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on top of, and integrated with the .NET Framework. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell
