    - request help with vbscript problem When I run the script below, I get an error on line 3. Error: OpenText method of Workbooks class failed.

    - Security issues for scripters I'm passing on this info. because it's especially applicable to scripters. People might want to disable or delete certasin files, or at least take some precautions. There are two "very serious" bugs out right now. Both are apparently known to be actively exlpoited and neither is patched. A rundown is here: http://www.techworld.com/security/news/index.cfm?newsID=7324 1) WMI Object Broker control, in WmiScriptUtils.dll. This one is a risk for anyone with VB.Net 2005 installed, but presumably others could have installed the DLL for WMI scripting use. More here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/927709.mspx No plans so far for a fix. -------------------------------------------- 2) MSXML4.DLL Used for XML parsing. Not necessary and not a default install in all Windows versions, but possibly used by some scripters. http://secunia.com/advisories/22687/ This one had a second bug report last week.

    - Apostrophe problem when retrieving folder security details Hello, I am currently trying to write a script to scan through all folders and subfolders on a drive and return me their trustee information (who has permission to view folder). I have written a script which seems to work until it comes accross a folder name with an apostrophe in such as "C:\O'Brien" This returns me an invalid path error as the apostrophe is a reserved character and it stops reading after the apostrophe. I have looked online for solutions and the only solution I have come accross is to put a backslash before the apostrophe such as "C:\O\'Brien. I have tried this but the same error occurs. If I enter a On Error Resume Next code at the top of my script it will run through and appear to work but the information it returns for the apostrophe folders is incorrect - simply gives the previous folders information again. Can anyone help me? The script I am using is the following: strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colFolders = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Directory WHERE Drive = 'G:' ") For Each objFolder in colFolders strFolder = objFolder.Name Wscript.Echo objFolder.Name path = objFolder.Name Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objFile = objWMIService.Get("Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting='"& path & "'") If objFile.GetSecurityDescriptor(objSD) = 0 Then Wscript.Echo "Owner: " & objSD.Owner.Name Wscript.Echo For Each objAce in objSD.DACL Wscript.Echo "Trustee: " & objAce.Trustee.Domain & "\" & objAce.Trustee.Name Next End If Next Thanks for any help provided.

    - Add user to the local admin group during logon process Hi all, I need your help folks. I have joined new company and my predecessor added domain users to the local admin group (through the GPO) on every single desktop in the domain. This has been discovered recently and I have to find a solution ASAP. I was told that the reason this has been like that is that one of the applications requires local admin privileges to run properly. I need to add individual domain user to the local admin group on each workstation, ideally during logon process through netlogon. Is this possible at all, to add domain user into the local admin group during the netlogon process. I can't have a group of users added to the local admin as they don't want to have somebody else being local admin on their desktop. I am not sure how to script this and would realy appreciate your help. If I can do this with the script through the netlogon I will be later on remoing the domain user group from the local admin group on each desktop again through the GPO by unchecking that feature. Please, please help. Pluto Tag: ADSI-Changing Terminal Server Profile Settings Tag: 198973

    - xml/xslt I wrote a vbscript that uses xml/xslt transformation and it working except for one thing I would like to change. The script goes through many xml files and transforms the data to file named Data.xml. The item I would like to figure out how to do is everytime a xml file is passed to the function it always overwites the previous data. For example, if I passed 100 xml files the data in the data.xml file would be only data from the 100th file. I am unable to figure out how to append the data into one big file. Code from function below.................. set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set wshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") set storefolder = fso.GetFolder(path) set subfolders = storefolder.subfolders set xDom = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") xDom.async = false set xslt= CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") xslt.async = false set newDom = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") newDom.async = false for each subf in subfolders wscript.echo subf.name bDone = false for each f in subf.Files if UCase(right(f.name,7)) = "WMI.XML" then xDom.Load f.Path '----------------------------------name of the file we need to get data from. xslt.Load "c:\Projects\PSMT\wmiload.xslt" '---------------------template for what data to get from the xml file. transformedStr = xDom.transformNode(xslt) newDom.loadXML transformedStr newDom.save "c:\temp\data.xml" '--------------save transformed data to data.xml.

    - is this script possible I do some work for a non for profit group. they have windows 2003 sbs with exchange. what i want to do is limit what the users can do on the local machines...such as...install apps, save any data to the local machines, not be able to play games, have access to only certain items on the server, and also have access to their email on whatever machine they sit at. and also make it so that their setting are on a computer when they log into it. meaning if they log into a computer thats not at their desk they get their settings.and also have access to internet and need admin aproval to install a plugin they might need on a webiste. users machines are windows xp pro. I remember when i was in school and the desktops were windows 200 pro computers thats how they were setup. im just trying to limit what the users can do. please let me know if this is even possible and how i can go about making this happen. thanks Steve Tag: ADSI-Changing Terminal Server Profile Settings Tag: 198958

    - Querying IIS web site properties I'm using vbscript to query IIS via ADSI to find out whether settings such as "Enable anonymous access", "Integrated Windows authentication" and/or "Basic authentication" are enabled for each site. Eventhough I map an object to the specific ADSPath for the site, the results do not match what is being indicated by the IIS Manager MMC. The following is an abridged version of the code in use: Sub ScanMetabaseTree(sADSPath) 'On Error Resume Next Set objIIS = GetObject(sADSPath) For Each oBject in objIIS If (oBject.Class = "IIsWebServer") AND (IsNumeric(oBject.Name)) Then WScript.Echo oBject.ServerComment WScript.Echo oBject.Name WScript.Echo oBject.ADSPath WScript.Echo oBject.AccessFlags WScript.Echo oBject.AccessRead WScript.Echo oBject.AccessWrite WScript.Echo oBject.AccessScript WScript.Echo oBject.AccessSource WScript.Echo oBject.AuthAnonymous WScript.Echo oBject.AnonymousUserName WScript.Echo oBject.AnonymousUserPass WScript.Echo oBject.AuthBasic WScript.Echo oBject.AuthNTLM WScript.Echo oBject.AuthFlags WScript.Echo oBject.DirBrowseFlags End If ScanMetabaseTree(oBject.ADSPath) Next End Sub Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    - Strange behavior re: class property I doubt anyone's run into this before but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. I have a class with a property that returns a date value. The issue is that retrieving the property value converts it into an integer for some reason. Suppose I have a bit of code as below: Dim objBid Set objBid = New Bid objBid.Test Class Bid Private m_ExpirationDate Private Sub Class_Initialize() m_ExpirationDate = #11/1/2006# End Sub Public Property Get ExpirationDate() ExpirationDate = m_ExpirationDate End Property Public Sub Test() MsgBox "ExpirationDate = " & ExpirationDate & ", VarType = " & VarType(ExpirationDate) MsgBox "m_ExpirationDate = " & m_ExpirationDate & ", VarType = " & VarType(m_ExpirationDate) End Sub End Class So in my real code, the test method would report, "ExpirationDate = 1, VarType = 2" for the first message box. The second would correctly report the date value. Accessing the property from outside the class would report correctly as well. The actual code is retrieving and assigning m_ExpirationDate from an ADO recordset. I have a feeling this is some kind of strange variant conversion issue but I could not reproduce it outside of the actual environment. (i.e. above code) There are obvisouly so many workarounds and so I'm just curious as to what is going on.

    - DHCP Scirpt for checking default gateway I'm having a very strange problem with our DHCP servers. We currently have two MS DHCP server that are serving client in various locations doing an 80/20 split using IP Helpers. Every time we reboot the servers, some of the scopes will lose there Default router attributes. No error logged, nothing that indicates a problem, just no gateway. So each time we have to go back and re-add the gateway back in. Does anyone have any good scripts that will allow me to check each scope to see if the default gateway attribute exists after the reboot?

    - Reading in a line from a CSV Hi, I need to read in a CSV file with 4 values per line. value1,value2,value3,value4 value1,value2,value3,value4 and so on.... I need to read that in to some arrays in VBScript. I want to something similar to this Set csvFile = objFileSystem.GetFile(csvFilePath) Set csvFileForRead = csvFile.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading) count = csvFileForRead.numberOfLines For i = 0 to count - 1 strLine = csvFileForRead.readLine value1Array(i) = substring(0,",") value2Array(i) = substring(first comma, next comma) and so on next I don't want the code to work only with a four value CSV file either... Can someone suggest a way to implement this? Thanks. Also, what I want to do is use the script to load a CSV file of events, dates, times, and notes into an Outlook calendar on an exchange server so any insight on that would be welcomed to. In a previous post, a poster suggested looking at VbaOUTL9.chm but I could not find a copy of this. Thanks. Tag: ADSI-Changing Terminal Server Profile Settings Tag: 198856

    - How to convert strings between ASCII and Unicode? Hi I have saved all the web pages that display lists of book titles at a web site. I want to detect duplicates. I've written a VBScript to go through all of the web pages, extracting the titles in the lists. I use the file object's readall method to read the files, and the Split and other string functions to extract individual titles. I add the titles as keys in a dictionary and set the value for this item to the file name and the title's location in this file. If the key already exists, the current file and position are added to that key's value. On initial tests, this worked fine - I could easily get a list of duplicates. My problem is that while most of the web pages are plain ASCII, a significant number of them are Unicode. The string functions work fine with Unicode, but the dictionary .Exists method seems to mess up with a mixture of ASCII and Unicode, resulting in false indications that a title already exists. I know how to detect the Unicode files - the first two bytes are Hex FF FE. And my Unicode files are about twice as large as the plain ASCII file. Once I have a file or string variable that contains Unicode, how can I quicky convert it to ASCII? If the scripting dictionary handles Unicode well, I'm just as open to converting the plain ASCII to Unicode I have tried manually opening the Unicode files in WXP's Notepad and then saving them with ANSI encoding. This solves my problem, but I'd like the script to handle the problem. . Thanks, -Paul Randall Tag: ADSI-Changing Terminal Server Profile Settings Tag: 198853

    - Returning recordset from a function and using EOF Hi, I have been all over the web looking for a definitive answer to this question. I want to have a function which grabs a record set, and returns it. Then, after my function call, I want to use something like EOF or GetRows() to cycle through the record set. But no matter what I try, I get the following error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'currentRow.EOF' ----------------- Code returning set from function: <snip> rs.Open cmd, , adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly Set cmd.ActiveConnection = Nothing Set cmd = Nothing set rs.ActiveConnection = Nothing oConn.Close Set oConn = Nothing getReportLogRow = rs ' This is the return statement End Function ---------- Code using the returned recordset: <snip> Set currentRow = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") Set currentRow = getReportLogRow(sessID) if(currentRow.EOF)then <snip> --------------------- If I can solve this... I'm gonna publish the solution all over the place because I can't be the only one ripping out their hair over this. Why does vbscript-asp make using functions such a pain? ;) Thanks for any help!

    - creating folder tree structures Hi, Thanks for taking the time to read this. I work in the construction industry. We have recently started a new policy for how our project managers and department heads are supposed to digitally file job documents. This means that each time we start a new job or new project a particular folder structure is setup in our file servers. I am talking 100+ folders a week, each containing about 10 subfolders, and even some subfolders below those. As you can figure, this is a tedious task for anyone to do. I am looking to streamline this using some VB script if it's possible. The problem I am running into is that I still have to copy/paste folder names into my script (either script or simple mkdir batch file). I wanted to ask if there is a way to build a prompt using VB script so that if asks for the folder name and then does it's thing. This would be good so that I can create a small program for others to use. That, or can I inject data into my script from an outside database? This script will be more complicated, so that is why I am here asking. I know this is possible, and I think I should get this setup as it's going to make a big difference to our daily operations....

    - Posting Data to pages using VBA (Microsoft.XMLHTTP and MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0) Hi, I'm trying to pull some data from htm pages but am having some issues with the POST method. I would like to navigate between these pages and post/retrieve data in the same session. For example, testA.htm would have a couple of text boxes, radio buttons, etc. The code would populate the objects by modifying the HTML to add in the attributes (alternatives to this method would be welcome), then move along to testB.htm when the form is posted. The script would then gather data from testB.htm, modify the HTML, rinse/rather/repeat... I'm currently stuck between the post of testA.htm to testB.htm. I would like to see testB.htm in the responseText when I post testA.htm. If I use Microsoft.XMLHTTP, the page just refers back to itself when I look at the responseText. If I use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0, I get one of two messages- "You are not authorized to view this page" or "Page cannot be displayed" Below is the VBA: Set xmlHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 'Set xmlHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0") xmlHTTP.Open "POST", "http://server/testA.htm", False xml.Send strResponse = xml.responseText Below is the HTML: <FORM name=testA action="http://server/testB.htm" method=post><input type=text name="Text0" value="PopulateSample"></input> <input type=submit value="Move to TestB" /> </FORM> Any input would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance! -Harry Tag: ADSI-Changing Terminal Server Profile Settings Tag: 198798

This fall I successfully created a script to set-up Active Directory
accounts for all the users in a school environment. I've made some changes
to the system which necessitates changing the terminal services profile path
for all the users. I'd like to write a script that will enable me to do so,
but I'm haveing a very difficult time finding the service to which I should
be binding to make the change. It seems that some of the ADSI items are
more common place while others require a strange kind of voodoo. Please
help with suggestions about how to do so.
