    - Remote shutdown mystery I use a .bat file to do remote restarts on 40 lab PCs running WinXP pro sp2 on a W2k3 AD domain. The .bat file contains one line for each PC as follows ('xxx' represents ip segment): shutdown -r -m \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -t 0 Most of the time this works fine and all 40 machines reboot without problem. However, once in awhile (maybe 20% of the time), the .bat file gets stuck on a PC (not always the same one). When this happens, it waits for about a minute before proceeding with the remaining PCs in the .bat file. Because it happens to different PCs and not all of the time, this is nearly impossible to troubleshoot. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? And more importantly, is there any way I can make sure the .bat file reboots every machine ALL of the time? Thanks! Tag: Browse for folder in HTML Tag: 170414

    - Reset password I'm trying to make a script so that the members of our helpdesk can reset users passwords without have ADUC. Not easy for a rookie such as myself. I would have thought there would be a ton of utilites / scripts out there to do this in AD?? I did find one script online by Brian Anderson but it doesn't seem to work correctly and so far my lame attempts to fix it aren't helping! I don't need anything fancy except I would like it to be as "easy and foolproof" as possible! Heck, even a premade utility like those available for Novell would be fine. I do have a small batch file using dsmod but the exe is needed and it's not very user friendly. Any solutions / ideas would be most welcome! Tag: Browse for folder in HTML Tag: 170370

    - How to remove Shares selectively if they exist How can I selectively remove shares and then reassign them to a certain group in one script. I have run the Net Share > Share.lst and this is what I found Share name Resource Remark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E$ E:\ Default share P$ P:\ Default share IPC$ Remote IPC D$ D:\ Default share I$ I:\ Default share K$ K:\ Default share G$ G:\ Default share O$ O:\ Default share M$ M:\ Default share F$ F:\ Default share ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS Remote Admin H$ H:\ Default share N$ N:\ Default share C$ C:\ Default share J$ J:\ Default share L$ L:\ Default share The command completed successfully. I want to remove all but the IPC$ and ADMIN$ shares plus D$. I thought using a manual approach as shown below for all the located mappings might do it. wscript.run "net share f$ /delete" wscript.run "net share e$ /delete" But how can I validate the existence of a share if it doesn't exist as may be the case.

    - delete 'old' *.XXX files Hi, I'm looking for a script that: deletes *.xxx files that are older then Y days. I have seen a couple of scripts that delete 'old' files in a specific folder, but my script should only delete a very specific extention in a specific folder + all subfolders. Example:It should be capable of deleting all *.ver files located in c:\test \ and all subfolders, only if they are older then 14 days. I'm not familiar with VBscript, but I still want to use it, because it could be modified very easily when using constants in the beginning for the folder and the extention. Any idea? (xxcopy could do similar things, but this doesn't seem to work on my PC, I'd like to try vbscript) Thanks! Sandra. Tag: Browse for folder in HTML Tag: 170366

    - Reading Reults of txt file - and then... I am using FSO to read a XML file, using the ReadAll method. I have a couple of questions. First how does an XML file appear to wsh? Is it one silgle line like in Notepad or is there several lines like when displayed in IE? If it is seperate lines I can use the readline to get what I need, if it is diplayed with no CR's then I don't think that method will work. I am using ReadAll and I can find the data I want but then if the data is found I need to then read data before it, as an example: <services>test</services> Is what I am looking for first, and if this text exists I then need to go backwards and look for <process>ten</process>. The data length between these two can vary for each instance within the file, where some other data may be <asdf>fkjshdfkjhksjdfh</asdf> for one instance, and for another it may be <asd>adf</asd>.

    - How to delete a file in "C:\Documents and Settings\marxp\Recent". My scripting question is below, beneath the two empty lines. But if you care to read what my ultimate objective is, here it is: Ultimate Objective: I need to bill my time by the hour, but because I have ADD, I can not keep track of what I do during the day, and this is having a disastrous impact on my ability to earn a living. I am attempting to create a script that will enable me to know what files I opened (and worked on) during each day, and when I opened them. After I succeed with this script (hopefully), I hope to create: 1. A macro in Microsoft Word that will send to a comma delimited file the name of each file that I open in Word, the "Start Time" when each file was the topmost window on the monitor, and the "End Time", i.e., when the file ceased to be the topmost window on the monitor. (Obviously, a document may may be opened several times during a day, or become the topmost window several times a day.) I also hope to eventually create... 2. A macro in Outlook that will send to a comma delimited file some identifier ("Name") of each window in Outlook that I open, and each Outlook window's "Start Time" and "End Time". My scripting question: I cannot figure out why the script below does not delete the shortcut files in the directory: "C:\Documents and Settings\marxp\Recent". In 2 different places, the script tries to delete a shortcut file in "C:\Documents and Settings\marxp\Recent", after the script successfully copies the shortcut file to another directory, but the attempts to delete fail. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    - kill pernicious processes? Our family computer still gets adware and other crap on it from time to time, despite my best efforts in using Norton, Adaware, Spybot, and CWShredder; and avoiding the use of Internet Explorer in favour of Firefox; and creating separate accounts for each user; and restricting permission to install software... it seems I just can't monitor everything every user does. Some of this stuff my various cleaners and checkers do not seem able to fix, and one type is particularly nasty: the type where two programs operate in tandem, each making sure that the other is present and running, so I can't kill the two processes fast enough via task manager to prevent one from re-creating the other. (AdTools is an example of this. Is there a word for this kind of program pair? "Twin Bootstrap", or something?) But I need to do something because these adwares aren't just annoying and don't merely slow down my machine; they're buggy and frequently launch hundreds of copies of themselves, thus taking CPU usage to 100% and locking it up. I can program in VBScript, somewhat....enough to run simple tasks or to read an HTML form and launch programs. Is it feasible to write a program that can kill these "Twin Bootstraps" faster than they can bootstrap each other? If I could get hold of a ps.vbs for WinXP? Could I have this program running all the time, or would that eat up my CPU as well? Or would I just be heading down the wrong road altogether? I know that there is often a third component of these twins whose job is to redownload the adware if it discovers that they're gone, and it can be hard to find this third process in the process list. But I figure if I can kill the main culprits whenever they fire up, I can hold the nasties at bay until the next update to Adaware etc. is able to deal with them properly. Does this idea make any sense? I sure would appreciate advice and suggestions. Thanks in advance -- Tag: Browse for folder in HTML Tag: 170352

    - Very basic VBScript question I am starting to set up Java Web Start (JAWS) on my system and the docs suggest a short VBScript - which they provide - for determining which version of Internet Explorer is running. The only thing they DON'T say is what the name of the file CONTAINING the script needs to be, particularly the file extension. Files containing JavaScripts are supposed to use a ".js" extension so I'm assuming that VBScripts have a standard extension too, possibly ".vbs" or ".vs". Can anyone confirm that? Or does it really not matter what the file name and extension are for a VBScript? -- Rhino --- rhino1 AT sympatico DOT ca "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

If I put the values in a querystring the values pass fine. However, I don't want to do that. I have created a hidden variable in my html code named hidden_data. When I set the variable and submit this way, the variable looses it's value. Please help :) Code: sub submitform() dim contacts() redim contacts(listform.elements.length) For c = 0 to listform.elements.length - 1 If listform.elements(c).type = "checkbox" then If listform.elements(c).checked and mid(listform.elements(c).id,1,4) <> "list" then contacts(c) = listform.elements(c).id end if end if next tmp = filter(contacts,"@") listform.hidden_data.value = join(tmp,",") listform.action = "send.asp?mailer=" & listform.mailer.value listform.submit() end sub Tag: Browse for folder in HTML Tag: 170275

    - Aaagh! cScript no longer Returning! ?? Hi, I use cScript to run the adsutil.vbs etc scripts to generate web sites during automated installations of our product. here is an example: cscript.exe C:\inetpub\AdminScripts\mkwebdir.vbs -c localhost -w "Default Web Site" -v "adminDir","C:\MyDir\Web\Admin" This always /used/ to work just fine. Now when I try it, csript.exe appears to do the task, but it now NEVER returns from the dos prompt. Whats wrong with that? I am using stock windows2000 professional workstation with IIS 5.0 installed to do this. here is the output of the dos prompt:- ---<PRE> Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] (C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

    - Trying to get a file system script working I've been learning a bit of scripting and picked a task deleting a file. So I read a bit and search the net a bit. I came up with an example: www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/nov04/hey1102.mspx which shows Const TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = &H20& Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES) Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self strPath = objFolderItem.Path & "\*.*" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile(strPath) I wanted to modify this a bit so I change the strPath line strPath = objFolderItem.Path & "\triggerParams.js" but this fails with an 800A0035 error. I have checked that the file is in the folder, changing the script to just enumerate the filenames in the folder finds it: For each file in objFolder.Items MsgBox "Found: " & file.name next Can anyone see something I've made a mistake doing?

    - Confessions of a "Top-Poster" (ugh!)... It has come to my attention that there are participants here who condemn the practice of "top-posting" (i.e., placing the response ahead of the question), as in: A: No Q: Should I include quotations after my reply? I must confess that I do this all the time, under the rationalization that somebody reading down the thread has already read the question, and shouldn't need to re-read it in order to get to my answer. Further, I will frequently cut off or seriously abbreviate the question, to just the specific issue I hope to address. O.K. so this is offensive. But, I ain't going to quit. Here's an easy remedy. If you don't like my habit of "top-posting" then just filter out my postings, and all my annoying violations of netiquette will just disappear. cheers, jw Tag: Browse for folder in HTML Tag: 170223
