 - truncate data from 1 million to 1 dollar using formatCurrency/CCur functions? I want to ask what are the possiblities to truncate data from 1 million dollars to 1 dollar by using formatCurrency and CCur functions? The ASP page has code <%= formatCurrency(rs(14)) %>, the database rs(14) is 100000000. But when it displays it in the screen, it shows $1.00 with code <%= formatCurrency(rs(14)) %> There is another place with code using CCur and formatCurrency together, i am not sure if this is ok. <% amt_of_deposits = amt_of_deposits + cCur(rRes("natl_trust_tran_amt")) %> <%=formatCurrency(amt_of_deposits)%> This problem is so strange to me, I have no idea whats going on. please advise. thanks!!

 - Has anyone played with this script? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/scriptshop/default.mspx#EKAA Has anyone played with this script? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/scriptshop/default.mspx#EKAA It works really well but I don't like the approach. This approach requires the administrator to maintain a list of exe's which are known spyware. There are several problems with this approach. For example (From Symantec.com) When Spyware.Perfect installer is executed, it performs the following actions: 1. Creates the following files: " [FILE NAME].exe " [FILE NAME]r.exe " [FILE NAME]un.exe " [FILE NAME]vw.exe " [FILE NAME]hk.dll " [FILE NAME]i.dll " [FILE NAME]wb.dll Since we don't know the value of [FILE NAME], we wouldn't be able to add this to the list unless we could use the old DOS wildcards like ????????r.exe and such. We would still need to know how long "FILE NAME" is to apply the appropriate number of ??????'s. Also, new strains of spyware will slip through the cracks unless the list is updated and there doesn't seem to be a good single source to check. So, why wouldn't it be possible to create a "white list" of known services and processes which should be mostly static (only upgrades and such would need to force a revision) and ONLY allow those processes to run. For me to do it I would need a list of processes from Microsoft or do the inventory myself, then add in the exe's of the processes I know I will need from Symantec, Scansoft, Adobe, etc. The white list could also be secured with Software restriction policies in Windows which would prevent malicious code from taking on the name of known Windows services which is another weak point of the current script's approach. I don't know too much about scripting (I barely know how to cut and paste code to get it to work) but would the logic need to be changed a lot to make this idea work? Is there a down-side I am not thinking of? I believe Windows can be secured to the point where you would never need an anti-spyware product or even a script like this one. If I was building a new network from the ground-up, I would set things up this way. It would only take careful selection of software which does not require admin rights on machines (something my current migration to a secured environment is lacking until I flush out programs like Adobe Capture and QuickBooks 2005). The recent flack over the status of Claria and Microsoft really opened my eyes about this because I want to maintain control over my stuff. Adding anti-spyware to the mix to try and do my job for me isn't going to get the job done is we are arguing over what is spyware and what is not. EULA or not, I don't want certain programs running in my organization. This includes freecell.exe and sol.exe and anything Claria/Gator related. Mike Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179261

I want to replace Response.Write in the code below with a an array type variable but I am not sure how: for each element in request.form response.write(element & ": " & request.form(element) &" ") next Obviously, this does not work as it only sets the last value to the variable: for each element in request.form str_val = element & ": " & request.form(element) &" " next Is there some way to set the whole array to the str_val variable?

 - Need to exit loop early Hopefully this is a straight forward question. I have a script that reads a file one line at a time, and carries out ceratin actions depending on what it reads on each line. The script uses a Do Until....Loop, using Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream Loop I need to add error checking, so that if a set action to be carried out by the script has an err.number <> 0, the loop will ignore the rest of the loop, and continue to the next line of the text file that it is reading. So, what I need to the command to end one "loop" early, but continue through remaining loops. I'm sure it should be really simple, but I don't seem to be able to get the syntax right.

 - Processing paragraphs in a Word document I've written a lot of VBSCRIPT code but very little of it involves Microsoft Office documents. I'm working on a program that will read a bunch of Word documents. I want to loop through all the paragraphs in a document and search for various strings and then summarize them in a spreadsheet. I think I know how to do the spreadsheet part, but I'm at a loss at how to capture the paragraphs of text. I think I need to create a collection of paragraphs and then loop through them. I've spent several days searching through various web sites and all the examples I've found are quite trivial and don't help. I watched some Microsoft webcasts but they also didn't go into much detail. All they seemed to cover was how to put a few lines of text into a new document. What I want to do seems quite basic, but I can't find much documentation on how to get started. Any examples of code that will create this collection and loop through it would be appreciated.

 - IF/THEN based on local group membership? Hello, I know the general question of how to add a domain group to the local administrators group has been asked many times and I have the code to do that part. My dilemma is, since I want to encapsulate the script in a computer startup script in a GPO, it's going to run every time the machine starts; if the group already is a member, it will throw an error. Yes, I could run "on error resume next" but the bosses still classify this as an "error" (though to me it just seems like a piece of information) and want me to check the existence of the domain group in the local admins first, and skip the "add" if it's present. I've looked everywhere and can't find the code to check the membership of a local group much less construct the IF/THEN statement needed to go with it.

I would like this to be automated via a login in script...is this possible? Thanks in advance. Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179127

 - Dynamic DNS I found the following script in an earlier posting. It is to enable DHCP and set the DNS servers IP addresses. What changes should be made to this script if I want the client to be set to "Obtain DNS server automatically" rather than specifying the DNS server address? ================================================ ' ' script enables DHCP, adds DNS sufix, and DNS server IP addresses on all NICS ' '================================================ Option Explicit 'On Error Resume Next Dim target Dim oWMIService Dim colNetAdapters Dim oNetAdapter Dim DNSDomainErr Dim DNSsearchErr Dim DNSServer Dim oProvider Dim oDom Dim oOU Dim qQuery Dim oConnection Dim oCommand Dim oRecordSet Dim errEnable oProvider = "'LDAP://" oDom = "dc=fulldomainname, dc=fulldomainname, dc=fulldomainname'" oOU = "ou=Test OU," qQuery = "Select Name from " & oProvider _ & oOU & oDom & "where objectClass='computer'" Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set oCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") oConnection.Open "Provider=ADsDSOObject;" oCommand.ActiveConnection = oConnection oCommand.CommandText = qQuery Set oRecordSet = oCommand.Execute While Not oRecordSet.EOF Target = oRecordSet.Fields("name") DNSserver=Array("192.168.0.1", "192.168.0.2") Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & target & "\root\cimv2") Set colNetAdapters = oWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE") For Each oNetAdapter In colNetAdapters DNSDomainErr = oNetAdapter.SetDNSDomain("fulldomainname") DNSsearchErr=oNetAdapter.SetDNSServerSearchOrder(DNSserver) WScript.Echo "DNSDomain returned " & (DNSDomainErr) WScript.Echo "DNSsearchOrder returned " & (DNSsearchErr) errEnable = oNetAdapter.EnableDHCP() If errEnable = 0 Then Wscript.Echo "DHCP has been enabled."

 - Folder Copy I'm new to scripting. Please advise how can I copy a user's desktop folder to network drive. I want the script to copy this for multiple PCs. I'm not sure what variable (ex: c:\%username%\desktop), if any, to use. Source PC is NT wks 4.0. Thanks for your assistance. Sample script below is unable to locate folder: Dim = objFSO Set objFSO = Wscript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If (objFSO.FolderExists("%userprofile%\desktop")) Then objFSO.CopyFolder "%userprofile%\desktop", "f:\desktop" Else WScript.Echo("Unable to locate folder") End if Set objFSO = Nothing Wscript.Quit Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179124

 - VBScript errors with Date? Hi, I was playing with date functions in VBScript, finding some scary and may be buggy behaviour. For example, the following script: [vbscript] dim s dim d s = "12/01/2005" d = datepart("m",s)&"/"&datepart("d",s)&"/"& datepart("yyyy",s) MsgBox "s = " & s & " d = " & d s = "13/01/2005" d = datepart("m",s)&"/"&datepart("d",s)&"/"& datepart("yyyy",s) MsgBox "s = " & s & " d = " & d [/vbscript] - In the first case gives: s = 12/01/2005 d = 12/1/2005 - In the second case gives: s = 13/01/2005 d = 1/13/2005 In the second case it swaps day by month (may be according to local machine format) BUT in the first case it has not changed it. Some idea of what is happening behind the scenes? Regards, Sebastian Wain -- http://www.nektra.com Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179121

 - Script Problem I have a script that runs another command line program called upgrade_export.exe. I pass it a path where I want a file the program generates placed. Unfortunately upgrade_export.exe prompts for user input. It says to hit enter to continue. I am using WshShell.SendKeys("~") to send the Enter key. If I run my script from the command line it works perfectly. If I schedule a task and run it while logged into the server console, it works perfectly. If I run it as a scheduled task while not logged in the scheduled task runs, the script runs the .exe, but it stays at the prompt to hit enter to continue. So somehow my WshShell.SendKeys("~") command is not working correctly. I have WScript.Sleep(3000) in before the WshShell.SendKeys("~") in case it is a timing issue, but no matter what sleep time I put in it still fails when not logged in. The server is Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. This script used to work fine on Windows 2000 Server. I guess something changed in 2003 that is breaking it. Also, I am no programmer. I am lucky that it ever worked. Here's the script. If anyone has any helpful hints on how to do it better please, I am all ears.

 - distributing vbscript and associated files as one file Is there a way to distribute a VBScript script together with any auxilliary files so that: - everything is in a single file - the user just runs that single file to run the program, i.e. there is no explicit installation process (although there may be some installation going on behind the scenese the first time it is run, say) - the source is NOT hidden from the user (its ok if an extraction process is required) In case there are specific solutions for special cases, there are several cases: Case 1. the auxilliary file is an ordinary COM object Case 2. the auxilliary file is a .WSC COM object Case 3. any number of auxilliary files of unspecified type Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179118

 - Printer Config Dump I have a broken Microsoft print cluster I am looking to repair, and to do so I first need to dump all defined clustered printer configuration information on one of my servers, such as printer name, printer IP address, driver name, printer model, printer options (such as if duplex enabled), etc. I'd like as much printer information as possible to be dumped. I know this should be possible. Does anyone have a sample script they can share to get me started. Thanks! Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179104

 - Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration - SetDNSServerSearchOrder() Hi! :-) I'm having problems with the SetDNSServerSearchOrder method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration object. It works just fine on Windows XP mashines but when I run it on a 2k mashine IP dies and I have to go in and set it manually to static ip and back to get it working again... (A reboot is not enough.) I have among other things tried the example script Dns-replaceserverlist.vbs from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/networking/05_atnc_dns.mspx. I have tested both setting the arrNewDNSServerSearchOrder variable to Null and running SetDNSServerSearchOrder with no arguments. Both ways are supposed to work and does on XP... I first made a script reading and setting the settings in the registry but thought I'd use wmi to avoid a reboot.... If I don't get it to work I'll go back to the registry version since it works just fine on both 2k & xp. Thanks a million! :-) /Sofia Tag: Authentication Scheme Tag: 179102

Hi,

I'd like to know on the fly what the current authentication schema is. It
could be one of the followings: NTLM, BASIC, DIGEST, PASSPORT, NEGOTIATE.

Does anyone knows how do I retrieve the current authentication scheme in
vbscript?

Please advice, thanks!
-P
