Ok this is an odd question, but if you rename cscript.exe to something else on windows server 2008, what would happen?

Depends on how it is used. If it is auto linked by another program, it would not find it. If it is stand alone, there might be no impact at all.

It can't hurt anything to try it and see. It can always be renamed back to the original.
