    - Login Script Greeting I would like to have a greeting in my login script, but I don't want to use the username. I would like to use the person's first name. I've encountered dozens of sample scripts with something like strUser = objNetwork.UserName, but nothing that explains how to use the person's FIRST name. I'd also like to tell them what drives they are mapped to and reply their default printer. Thanks for your help. Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185390

    - Scripting the Word organization chart. Hi, Has anyone had any experience in scripting the organization chart in word or Excel. I know the version in Office XP/2003 is an instance of the Shapes object (as opposed to the org chart 2.0 in older versions) and I have a working VBA macro to manipulate the chart taken from MSDN but I haven't been able to find a VBscript to do the same thing.

    - mass rename part duex Sorry about multiple post, and I think I made it worse by trying to explain in multiple replies (please forgive me) Here is the jist of the issue I need to take a bunch of files and be able to combine them into one (append.dat) file (this will hold all the data from all the previous files) These files need to be entered into the append.dat oldest first, then removed, leaving only the append.dat file with all the information in one file... I am stuck and need assistance please. This is what I have so far... (1) it does not remove files, (2) it does not add the oldest first (3) and it adds all the files including the script and append.dat into the append.dat if ran more than once.... Thanks for your help in advance, and again sorry for the multiple post and confusion,. Const ForReading = 1 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objOutputFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("append.dat") strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set FileList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_Directory.Name='C:\temp\attp'} Where " _ & "ResultClass = CIM_DataFile") For Each objFile In FileList Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objFile.Name, ForReading) strText = objTextFile.ReadAll objTextFile.Close objOutputFile.WriteLine strText Next objOutputFile.Close Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185386

    - help with mass file rename I have been battling this and can not come up with the right commands to do the following (1) rename files so it renames unknown files to the same prefix. example rename $123432.000 to test.000 (2) also it would rename files to different extention based on time stamp so 124432.000 (8am) would equal test.000 $124532avf.000 (9am) would be test.001 and so on.. test.000 test.001 test.002 (3) This should run everytime a file is added to the folder or at specified time. (4) This should also work to use the lowest .00x extention that is available. so .000 then .001, .002, .003 and so on for every file added. Should .001 be removed then the next file would be .001 I didnt see how FileSystemObject's would work -- any ideas or templates? Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185371

    - Connect to acces database with .vbs Hello, does anyone know how to connect to a acces database. For testing purpose I created an access db that is located on my desktop. I'd like to connect to and edit the table. Here is a small sample of the code I use but I can't connect. :( ================================================= Dim oCmd, oCtn Set oCmd = CreateObject ("ADODB.Command") Set oCtn = CreateObject ("ADODB.connection") oCtn.connectionString = "Provider=MSDAORA;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=testEUData Source=DSN; User ID=uid; Password=pwd;" oCtn.open =================================================== The point is MSDAORA is not for accessing Access table but for Oracle so it's obvious it wouldn't work that way, but I can't find the proper module to access an MS-Access Database. so I tried most of the modules listed on my PC. It'd be nice if someone could help. Regards. Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185366

    - VBScript to Rename Files Hello everyone, I am trying to find a way to rename files that get loaded onto a server every night based upon other files that get uploaded with them. For example some of the files we get are as follows - r29-dcom.txt, arr56r29.xfr r15-dcom.txt, arr22r15.xfr Now I need to rename the r29-dcom.txt and r15-dcom.txt files to have the number that the XFR files has. So after renaming them I would end up with the following. r29-dcom56.txt, arr56r29.xfr r15-dcom22.txt, arr22r15.xfr There are quite a few files that I have to do this for on an on going basis and I need a way to speed it. The big issue is that the number in the arr56r29.xfr will increment everyday until it reaches 00 and then start again, so tomorrow would be arr57r29.xfr. If anyone can offer any advice on how to achieve this that would be great. Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185364

    - replace text with date variable? We currently have a script that runs at startup written in .vbs that works perfect, it uses something similar to the following. where if the date is more than 12 months old it runs. dim startdate dim duration startdate = #11/01/2004# duration = 12 if dateadd("m",duration,startdate) < date() then where after then it runs the script perfectly.. at the end of the script we have it run another .vbs which has something similar to the following Const ForReading = 1 Const ForWriting = 2 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("backup.vbs", ForReading) strText = objFile.ReadAll objFile.Close strNewText = Replace(strText, "startdate = #11/01/2004#", "startdate = #11/01/2005#") Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("backup.vbs", ForWriting) objFile.WriteLine strNewText objFile.Close And again this works great!, but what I am wondering, to basically make it seamless, is if there is a way to replace strNewText = Replace(strText, "startdate = #11/01/2004#", "startdate = #11/01/2005#") with something like strNewText = Replace(strText, "startdate = #11/01/2004#", "startdate = current date variable") so I wouldn't have to manually change the file once a year, and worry about a silly mistake. I have tried toying around with the %date% variable, but it seems to write in mm-dd-yy, which I am not sure if the script can understand with the previous mm/dd/yyyy format.. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might be able to write the current date format in the 2nd part as mm/dd/yyyy using a variable of sorts?

    - Bug? Date functions get day & month wrong Hi all, I am using the regional date time settings as English(Australian). That means that my date settings will always display as day/month/year I have an app which I'm entering a date. It's written in VB. When I intercept my field after its been entered and use VBScript to display a msgbox to screen I get funny results which seem to be a VB Script bug. I enter 11/01/2006 (which means in my lingo 11th Jan 2006) I then display msgbox DAY(myfield) & MONTHNAME(Month(myfield)) & YEAR(myfield) and lo I get "1Nov2006". I can also use MSGBOX FormatDateTime(myfield,1) and get Wednesday, 1 November 2006 Clearly they are wrong. I need to get, respectively 11Jan2006 and Wednesday 11 January 2006. HOWEVER!!! As soon as the first two characters of my date are 13 or more then it understands correctly what my date is - that's because there's no months greater than 13 so I guess it's assuming that I need the format changed to d/m/y. Then as soon as the first two chars are 12 or less, then it goes back to m/d/y. Is there a fix for this? Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185313

    - VBS and Excel (Conditional Formatting) Hi I can use VBS to do most things in Excel (copy/paste/create spreadsheets etc), but I cannot get Conditional Formatting to work. I've googled and haven't came up with anything that relates to VBS, only VBA. The code that Excel makes up from a Macro is: Selection.FormatConditions.Delete Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlGreater, _ Formula1:="80" Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font.ColorIndex = 3 VBS accepts the .Delete line, but if I try to add one, it comes up with errors using the above code. IE The below works Set objXL = WScript.CreateObject("Excel.Application") objxl.Selection.FormatConditions.Delete But objXL.Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlGreater, Formula1:="80" doesn't. Does anyone know what syntax I should use to get it to work? Cheers Leon Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185310

    - Terminating a script / Content missing from MSDN page I'm trying to terminate a process on my local PC using WMI's .ProcessTerminate method. It's returning a value of 2 ("Access Denied"). I can kill the same process from Task Manager without difficulty. I searched MSDN for this situation and came up with the following page: "Terminate Method of the Win32_Process Class" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/terminate_method_in_class_win32_process.asp).

    - Restart script for domain users Hi folks, I'm trying to write a script (still not sure it is the best option though) to allow our end users to restart their PCs each night. Here is our scenario: -users do not have access to the command prompt (blocked by GP) -users do not have access to shutdown or restart the computers (blocked by GP) -users do not have admin rights -we want user's to reboot their systems every night without having the option to shut the machine off Now here are the two options I think we have, I would prefer the first but I'm working on the second at the moment: 1) Use group policy to bock access to Shutdown but allow access to Restart. Alternatively we could do this by a reg hack but I don't have any clue how to do it either way. 2) Create a script that we can place on each user's Start Menu to reboot the computer. This script would need to run with elevated privileges (we have an account we can use which has access to reboot the workstations). I'm really new to scripting so I'm kind of fumbling my way along here but I have managed to write a script (with help from a couple sites) that reboots a test workstation using alternate credentials but the command prompt is not blocked on that system. When I do block it, the script doesn't work - says action blocked by policy. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can go about doing this? Now my second question on this script. As I need to embed the username and password in the file, is there any way to prevent users from being able to view this account information (we have a couple savvy folks). And my last question (I promise) - when I double-click on the script while logged in as a regular user (not power user) it doesn't work but if I launch it from a command prompt it does. When I double click on it as administrator it works with no problems. How do I get around this? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!!

    - Event Log Backup and Clearing I had a requirement to create a script that backups Event Logs in text and monitor for specific events, emailing the results to a person. This is what I've come up with so far... the only thing I haven't done yet is Query the eventlog before I clear it, and send the results to the email body somehow. Any help would be appreciated. I realize this code isn't clean, but it's my first... so don't flame me too bad =] -Chris ' on error resume next dtmThisDay = Day(Date) dtmThisMonth = Month(Date) dtmThisYear = Year(Date)

    - Checking if a file is opened Hi, I am looking for a solution to find out if a file is opened in a windows (NT oder W2k or XP) application. For office documents it seems to be clear: trying to open the document exclusively - if that is succesful, the document is not opened. But what can I do if I want to know if, for example, a text file is opened in notepad? If you want you can rename or delete the file while it is opened in notepad. I think it's the same for documents in wordpad or images in paint. In this case the file always can be opened exclusively. Maybe it is possible to run a VBScript that checks the running aplications and their window titles? But thinking about that I see two problems: 1. consider 2 text files c:\dir1\test.txt and c:\dir2\test.text (same file names but different directories. If both of these files are opened in notepad I would have two windows using the same title "test.txt - Notepad". Is there a chance to find out which file is opened in which notepad? 2. Consider applications that open all documents in one window. In this case you will have only one application window using different window titles depending on the document that is in front. I hope, someone has an idea how to find a solution. Thanks very much in advance! Frank Tag: WMI in CMDLINES.TXT Tag: 185234

Hi all,

I have developed a SOE for W2k3 SP1, it runs via WinPE.
I need to use a vbs script when CmdLines.txt is running so I can use the vbs
command:
"GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!" line to
work

I know this will not work as WMI isn't supported when this VBS is run.
(excuted from cmdlines.txt). I know that Win. Server 2003 first-run OS
follows the same (or Close) stripped-down core pattern as WinPE.

However, If I can get WinPE to support WMI, then is there a method for
getting WMI supported when the CMDlines is excuted

Is there a work-around?

Are there future plans to add WMI support when CMDlines is running?

Hope to hear from someone soon.
Thanks!
