Manage cluster resources via Visual Basic

Hello,
is it possible to manage cluster resources with a script language like
Visual Basic?
I want to update the cluster applications with an automatic
installation process. Therefore I must stop the corresponding cluster
resource (take offline), update the application and restart the
cluster resource (bring online).
Knows anyone a way to do this within a Visual Basic program?
Thanks
Widmann
Yes, it is very possible. Do I know how to do it? Heck no. I am not a
programmer in any sense. Check msdn.microsoft.com or "goggle
site:msdn.microsoft.com" cluster programming. Or something like that using
programmer speak
Cheers,
Rod

well from a script. See Windows help for details.
