    - script scheduling in AD environment? Okay Folks: Sir twitch a lot here is going bonkers yet again. Here is this little script I pulled out of the Microsoft Windows 2000 scripting guide. strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem") For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems objOperatingSystem.shutdown() Next Fine, fire this vbs puppy up and pooft, the computer shuts off. Which is exactly what I wanted. Now what I want to do is schedule this puppy via organizational units to apply to certain machines. Problem is that we have a bunch of users who love to leave their computers on all night, burn out monitors and occasionally fry their computers because of electrical activities in the area. Okay, so I figured that a nice .bat file along the lines of this at.exe 21:00 every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su \\servername\sharename\shutdown.vbs I figure this would solve the problem but it's a bit cumbersome. Does anybody know of a way to incorporate the equivalent of an "AT" command that would fire up at the computer startup so that the machine would know that, hey, I need to shut myself down at XX:XX hours. The best thing to do, ultimately, and I likely have a script for it somewhere, is that the machines would magically turn themselves up. I am shooting here for something that will work on the organizational unit level, any suggestions, comments or prayers???

    - Form Sleep I have been searching for an answer to the problem I've been having with a form. I have an HTML file that I load via a VBScript that is being used to copy CDs to a network drive. The user will enter the year and the CD number in the form. Then VBScript creates a folder based on the information entered and copies the CD to it. The problem I'm having is that when the Submit button is clicked the only way I could get the calling VBScript to take over is to put a MsgBox in the HTML's script area. I dont mind that except that I would like to have the dialog box close automatically. I can't use the PopUp function since IE's security complains. I tried using a For/Next but that didn't help. What can I do to avoid the MsgBox. Shown below are snippets from the HTML and VBS files. Thanks for your help. =================================================== HTML File (Form section): =================================================== <form action="" onsubmit="vbscript: CopyDisk()" method="POST" border="0" width="100%" id="MyForm" name="MyForm"> <input type="hidden" name="bWaiting" value="TRUE"> <table border="0" width="100%" <td width="60"> Enter the Year here:   <input type="text" name="Year" id="Year" maxlength="4" size="4" onkeypress='validate(Me)'</td> <br>  <td width="860">Enter the CD Number here:    <input type="text" name="CDInfo1" id="CDInfo1" maxlength="8" size="8" onkeypress='validate(Me)' =================================================== HTML File (VBS section): =================================================== <SCRIPT language="VBScript"> Sub CopyDisk() MyForm.bWaiting.value = "FALSE" If Len( MyForm.Year.value ) > 0 AND Len( MyForm.CDInfo1.value ) > 0 Then MsgBox "Now copying the CD.

    - status of remote machine. All, I am looping thorugh the computer objects in a Domain. Within the loop I need to bind to each maching and read the registry. I would like to discern the status of the remote machine before attempting to bind to it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am assuming that the IADS computerstatus can't be used based on previous posts. If this works can someone point me toward an example? Otherwise any suggestions would help.

    - Move and Delete Scripting Help how do I move files from a folder to another folder, and then the other thing is how do I delete the files after they have been moved, of course I only want to delete the files that arte older than 7 days. Here is some script, but for some reason it is not doing what I need it to do. It does nothing: I have included the scripts in text below, didn't know if anyone could possibly point me in the correct direction: Move Files: Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0& TargetFolder = "C:\Move" Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(TargetFolder) objFolder.MoveHere "C:\logfiles", FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG Delete files: (Yes I know I have to add a way to check if they are older than 7 days, but I was just testing to make sure it worked before I added that in there, and so far nothing) Const DeleteReadOnly = True Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile("C:\logfiles\*.log"), DeleteReadOnly Tag: Configuering Internet Settings for remote machines Tag: 145408

    - How do you check the current CURSOR TYPE (not in IE)? Hi everyone, I did a lot of google searches, and came up with nothing. Most of the links were related to changing the cursor type in IE, or getting the Cursor handle in VB. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of getting the current cursor type; I am checking to see if it's an hourglass. Reason: I am using keyboard shortcuts to save to a file in an Application, and I am loading the saved file in an XMLDOM, but I can't do that till it's been saved. Monitoring file creation requires a separate thread; I thought it would be easier to check whether the current cursor is an hourglass. A solution would be much appreciated...

    - Functions calling Functions We switch database vendors without changing every .asp page of a web by calling a custom VBScript function. The function takes the specific database name as its single arguement and returns a complete OLE connection string for that database. Thus, a single file (the function) only needs editing to switch from one database (eg SQL Server) to another (eg: ORACLE). Other VBScript custom functions in the web also require database connection(s). How do they use the same function to create their connection string(s)? Example: In the .asp we have ...  <% 'Script: Dim cnnActive Dim strOLEDB ... Set cnnActive = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection") strOLEDB = OLEDBString("Active") cnnActive.Open strOLEDB ... %> Here's the function: <% Function OLEDBString(strDB) '>>> '>>> Create the OLEDB connection string for the customer database '>>> Here, use the Microsoft Access JET OLEDB v4 '>>> 'Create the link with the [strDB] database OLEDBString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" OLEDBString = OLEDBString & "Data Source=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\VManager\databases\" OLEDBString = OLEDBString & strDB & ".mdb;" OLEDBString = OLEDBString & "User ID=admin; Password=;" End Function %> Tag: Configuering Internet Settings for remote machines Tag: 145404

    - mapnetworkdrive problem I am using the mapnetworkdrive method to map drives for users during logon. I changed a drive mapping for a user and it is mapping to the new location but the windows explorer name shows the old path. When you look at the properties or try and disconnect the drive it does give you the correct NEW path but the explorer view has the old path listed. The user has rebooted and still no luck. Is there some way to refresh the name when changin the path to a mapped network drive. Tag: Configuering Internet Settings for remote machines Tag: 145402

    - Outllook Macro warning and one-off forms... I have an Outlook folder full of contacts that use a custom contact form. One of these items occasionally becomes one-offed. I have a VBscript that loops through all the contacts and does some processing. When it attempts to access the contact via code similiar to this For each thing in Directory.Items temp = thing.homeaddress NOTE: I don't ever actually open the item I'm looking at, I just use the Thing.fieldname notation to access the data. I get the "Do you wish to enable macros" dialog box. This causes my script to just sit there until someone hits yes or no (Which might take days). So I need a workaround that would allow my script to run un-attended. 1) Is there anyway to supress the enable macros dialog box for one-offed items? 2) Is there anyway to open an item with its macros disabled? 3) Can I check the messageclass of an item without trigging the dialog box? Any help would be much appreciated! -J Tag: Configuering Internet Settings for remote machines Tag: 145398

    - Progres window Hi, I am using oShell.run command_line,0,true but I want to display possibly a IE progress window while the command line is running so i'm thinking I can do something like: Do until return = 0 IE progress window (how?) return = oShell.run command_line,0,true Loop I can see two problems with the above: I'm thinking that return = oShell.run command_line,0,true will not execute until the IE progress window is running and I also don't know how to invoke the progress window. Could someone direct me to online info about using progress windows while some process is running? I would also appreciate a code example or better approach if not too much trouble.

    - Check CD-R disk status Hello, Can someone tell me how to check if a blank unformatted CD-R is present in the drive and if not blank then if there are any files written on it? I tried checking readiness using IsReady and checking presence of any data by counting files in drive_letter:\ but I have a catch 22 situation: If the disk is blank drive returns NOT READY and if I check for written data, because drive is not ready (for blank disks) script gives me an error CANNOT FIND PATH when trying to count files. Basically what I want to do is: Step 1: check if CD drive is ready, i.e. if a CD is physically there regardless of it's status or formatted state Step 2: if the drive is ready, check for presence of any data, even if the disk is unformatted without returning error because it's unformatted. Or just simply check if the drive definately contains unformatted and blank, out of the box CD-R - just this will suffice if this is possible.

    - WScript.Shell Run for...in...do I'm having problems getting the WScript.Shell object to run command lines of the form for...in...do. For example, the following is supposed to encrypt all the document files in the folder "C:\data" Set wsh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wsh.CurrentDirectory = "C:\data" wsh.Run "%comspec% /c for %%F in (*.doc) do pgp -encrypt %%F", 1, True This doesn't work, but there's no error message or anything, instead all it does is flash the command window. Even using /k doesn't keep the window up. But if I put the line in a batch file in C:\data, and run the batch file, everything works okay: wsh.Run "%comspec% /c encrypt-docs.bat", 1, True Or if I use an alternate but equivalent command line, it also works okay: wsh.Run "%comspec% /c pgp -encrypt-files *.doc", 1, True Based on the results, it seems that WScript.Shell Run can't directly handle for...in...do. Can anyone else confirm this? If it matters, the OS is Win2K and comspec is cmd. Thanks for reading... Russell Tag: Configuering Internet Settings for remote machines Tag: 145359

    - Help with GetRef Hello, I have a command line based script where I bring up IE, then sit in a loop with GetRef's to OnClick events from the IE page. For the most part, it works, but occasionally, I will get an error where the script has disconnected from the opbject. I am using a sleep value of 100 in my loop. Is there a way to reliably run the script without the disconnect error ? I would say it errors out about 10% of the time. I have played around with the sleep value but I still seem to occasionally get the error. My geuss is that when I click the button on the page while the script is in the sleep state, the error occurs, kind of a race condition so to speek. Any and all help is appreciated.

    - How do I iterate through an array in VBScript? I'm using VBScript to use a .NET library. I'm having troubles with functions that return arrays. VBScript will is successfully returned the array, and IsArray(..) returns true but attempts to access or manipulate the array generate errors. e.x.: C# code public string[] TestC() { string[] array = new string[] {"FOO", "BAR", "1", "ONE"}; return array; } public int[] TestD() { int[] array = new int[] {1,2,3,4}; return array; } VB Script code dim fooBar set fooBar = CreateObject("Foo.Bar") dim teh teh = foobar.TestD msgbox UBound(teh), , "counter" For Each arrayElement In teh msgbox arrayElement, , "output" Next ************ ok, line 5 of the vbscript code outputs 3 which is correct then I get a msg saying Line: 6 Char: 1 Error: Type mismatch Code: 800A000D Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error If I were to do dim somthin set somthin = teh(1) I get an error too I've tried dotnet.framework, dotnet.csharp and dontnet.interop newsgroups and people there are just as confused as me on this.

    - Is there a better way to do this? Can anyone help with the following? This is only my 3rd script, and i am having a little problem with it. The reason for this script, is all our network users have added a word to their custom dictionary in word, and now due to company policy, the format of this word must be exact. for those that are not aware of the format of the custom.dic file, each word added is on a seperate line. The example i have used here is the word apple. For example lets say some of our users added this to their dictionary as APPLE, and some have added it as apple. Company policy states this should now be Apple. The script i have created uses two functions. The first does a search and replace, for apple which is not case sensative, and replaces it with a blank entry. This i can live with but it could be better. I would prefer it to delete the instances of the word apple, and not leave a blank line. An option i do have is to search for the word apple and replace it with Apple, and then to search for APPLE and replace it with apple. But i want to learn how to delete the word, for future use. The 2nd function is poor as well, as this will add the word Apple on the end of the file, however sometimes when i run it a blank line is inserted before the word apple. If i remove the Vbcrlf form the following line then, sometimes the word apple would be appended to the last word in the file, making an incorrect word. objFile.WriteLine Vbcrlf & "Apple" Any suggestions tips would be appreciated, please be gentle, like i said this is only my 3rd script. Thanks Mark option explicit Dim dictionaryfile, usrname, wshnetwork Set wshnetwork = wscript.createobject("wscript.network") usrname = wshnetwork.username dictionaryfile="c:\documents and settings\" & usrname & "\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\custom.dic" FileSearchReplace(dictionaryfile) AddOfsted(dictionaryfile) WScript.Quit(0) 'This function will search for all instances of ofsted and replace with a blank line.

    - Non-blocking EnableStatic call ? (WMI) Hello, I'm new to VBScripting and to WMI use and I'm trying to change IP adresses remotely in VBScript with ths Win32 _NetworkAdapterConfiguration.EnableStatic method. Of course, when I do this call, there is a disconnection. This disconnection is causing the EnableStatic method not returning and the script gets stuck and does not go on. Is there a way to use an asynchonous call to EnableStatic ? I saw there are ExecQueryAsync but there is no EnableStaticAsync. Is there a way of getting rid of this blocking behavior ? I have some boxes I would like to chose their IP address by using a text file (computer name + IP address) and I didn't know how to do because of this.

    - Simple FTP script Hi, I often need to upload single files to an FTP server. I am trying to create a script that will automate this process, and have been investigating VBScript to do this job. I know a little about FTP.exe with the -s: tag to make it run scripts. Ideally what I would like is for the script to open a box where I could drag the file, and from there it would upload it. So structurally, the process goes: Create a variable, set this variable to contain the file directory\name, then it would create the script to enter into FTP.exe, and run it. Can anyone give me any hints on the best way to go about it? I'd be most grateful. Scott Tag: Configuering Internet Settings for remote machines Tag: 145268

I am almost sure that you can accomplish this with WMI. Now I don't have a
specific script but I have personally changed the registry on a group of
remote machines using WMI. Look at MSDN for WMI documentation.
