    - Sending an email message Hi, I'm not very familiar with using vbScript and MS Office products. Can someone point me in the right direction regarding an error I am receiving when trying to send an email? The error I am getting is "The 'SendUsing' configuration value is invalid." My code looks like this: Set oMyMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message") oMyMail.To = "user@test.com" oMyMail.Subject = "Test Mail from script" oMyMail.Textbody = "Please ignore" oMyMail.AddAttachment "C:\output.txt" oMyMail.MIMEFormatted = False oMyMail.Send WScript.Echo "Message Sent From : " & oMyMail.From WScript.Echo " to : " & oMyMail.To I don't know if this is significant, but I'm using an Exchange 5.5 server, I have Outlook 2002 running as my client, and I am logged in as a non-Administrator.

    - Script to reboot PCs Hi all, I was wondering if you can show me the code necessary reboot a Windows 2K or Windows XP equipmented PC? I frequently remote into a number of PCs and sometimes the need a reboot. Instead of asking someone directly and asking them to reboot the machines, isn't there a way to write a VBS script to do that? Can you also share with me the JScript equivalent for the WSH environment? Many thanks. Ben -- Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 184033

    - Just-In-Time Debugger Shows Runtime Error in Startup Dialogue Box I'm just completing a working VBScript to use Telnet to send an e-mail when an error is detected by a scheduled task (for my sample I'm using not enough space on the C drive). I'm aware that there are also other solutions such as BLAT but I don't want to install any code. Everything seems to work well and I get the e-mail in my account but I have this nagging concern. The dialogue box labelled "Just-In-Time Debugger" has at the top the message "An exception 'Runtime Error' has occurred in Script.". It then lists Possible Debuggers of "New instance of Microsoft Script Debugger" and "New Instance of Microsoft Script Editor". If I step through there aren't any apparent problems. Do I really have a problem? Thoughts??? Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 184032

    - Writing into HKCU\...\Policies Hi, Since there is no way I can use script to modify GPO on a client PC (the PC is not in the domain), I am trying to modify appropriate Registry key that is responsible for the policy I need: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate\DisableWindowsUpdateAccess"=dword:00000001 The problem is that a user does not local Administrator rights, so I cannot write that key/value. I could run VB script under local admin account, but then HKCU would become admins HKCU, and I need to modify HKCU for the user, not for the admin. I tried to play with HKEY_USERS tree and got some results on XP: I was able to find user's HKCU there and modify it, but on Windows 2000 SP4 the script fails. When I am enumerating subkeys in HKEY_USERS using StdRegProv function EnumKey (and the script is being run in the local admins context) it does not return list of subkeys representing user profiles. Instead, it retuns subkeys for .DEFAULT profie. Anyways, this probably not a good approach to do what I want. I could write some stuff on C++, but I need a hint how to elevate rights (maybe how to modify Access Token privileges or something like that) so that to change that registry key in HKCU.

    - Creating folders using VB Script Hello. I have a small task I need to do at work. I have to create 2 folders within a folder structure.

This script needs to create a folder named New1 and New2 (examples) within all Parents and Subs. Also each parent doesnt necessarily have 2 sub folders... some have 1, others have 20.

    - How to resize a .HTA ? Hi, I am looking at Scriptomatic 2.0 and it is a great sample of useful .HTA-application. I have long searched an easy way to write a non-primitive GUI in something simpler than C++, and Scriptomatic2 offers very useful patterns to borrow and follow. Now I would like to resize my own .HTA window and have all inputs/controls to obey this resizing. F.e., in Scriptomatic2, 1st and 2nd rows should stick to top, Language, Output Format, and bottom-right buttons should stick to right, big script edit window should be resized in both dimensions, and hostname-list window should be resized in width but not in height. Please suggest me how should I specify this behaviour in layout, or how should I handle events to implement this functionality. Thank you in advance for your replies.

    - Asp VBscipt and AOL proxy server variables. I hope this is the correct place to post this question. If not can someone point me at a more appropriate newsgroup. I have an Asp Vbscript server application which tries to get the ip address of the client. Mostly the ip address comes from IPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER ") but where a proxy is being used this will contain the ip address of the proxy. In this circumstance the proxy server will normally place the real ip address into Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") or HTTP_X_COMING_FROM or HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR etc etc My application deals with all that quite well but.... In the case of Aol this is not the case. All it sends is the proxy ip in HTTP_REFERRER and leaves the other server variables blank. I did find a note on the net which states that Aol do not forward the real ip as they consider it to be a security feature for their clients. But not everything reported on the net is correct. My question is: Can anyone confirm that it is simply not possible to obtain the real Ip address where the client is using Aol's proxy server? Then I can tell my boss to stop whittling and we can move on ;-) Regards Bill Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 183939

For example, why "Dictionary" is in "Scripting.", and "RegExp" is in "VBScript." ? I have some background in Perl/Python/Ruby/Unix shell, so I would like to use WSH to its full potential. Especially I would like to know what interesting things can be done with CreateObject/GetObject. Please advise me a good way to find such knowledge. Thank you in advance.

    - Script which tells, where user is logged on @Fosco: Thanks for the script. I already have similar solution for another thing. I was wondering, if there is any AD LDAP entry, which I can query for this information - it would be much easier and also faster. For the time being, I guess I would just use this kind of script... -- mcmallar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.codecomments.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ?

    - Retrieve a property value by its name - how to ? Hi, For a WMI object, I can get a list of its property names from its ".Properties_" Now I would like to retrieve a list or map/hash of all its property names and values, in pairs. In fact, finally I would like to get a structured hierarchical pretty-print of its innards, like JSON, XML or s-expression notation. Please suggest me the shortest way to achieve this in VBScript. What should I start with ? May be there is something ready-made ? Are there special cases for computable properties ? I am quite a beginner in WSH/VBScript/WMI, so I would appreciate your useful responses. Thank you in advance. Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 183921

    - 'function'-like objects in VBScript Hi, In JScript, there is nice feature - function objects ("new Function"). Sometimes it is very useful to parametrize one function by passing it another functional object describing some specific actions in its body. Now I would like to know from you how to achieve similar functionality in VBScript ? Thank you in advance for your replies. P.S.: I would prefer JScript, but VBScript has better binding to COM and WMI, so I am forced to use VBScript. In JScript you have to hassle with VBArray/toArray, and it does not offer an easy way to put a SafeArray property back into the object. Don't know why Microsoft decided to do so ...

    - Cluster Monitoring Script Error Problem Hi, I am writing a script ot monitor some veritas clusters. The basics of the script is that it connects to the clustered server name using WMI, then enumirates the actual servername, logs this in the Event log, which is then picked up by OpenView. This works well when the server is up, the problems I am having is that when the server is offline, the WMI call, does not seem to finish running and does not return anything so, the error code to detect if the server is offline is never run. So the warning message is not written to the event log. This is kind of defeating the point of my script, as I don't really need to know when they are up but need OpenView to log an event when they go offline. Here is the setion of code I am having problems with, Sub CheckCluster ( strClusterName ) msgbox strClusterName Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strClusterName & "\root\CIMV2") If Err.Number<>0 then msgbox "Error Generated " & Err.Number & " and " & " strClusterName WriteEvent "Cluster : " & strClusterName & " Can't Be Contacted", 1 err.clear Exit Sub end if Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem", "WQL", wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly) if objItem = vbnull or For Each objItem In colItems strNodeName = objItem.CSName Next 'WScript.Echo "CSName: " & objItem.CSName If strNodeName <> "" Then strSiteName = left (strNodeName, 4) Select Case (strSiteName) Case "SIT1" strActiveSite = "Site 1" Case "SIT2" strActiveSite = "Site 2" End Select WriteEvent "Cluster : " & strClusterName & " Running on Node :" & strNodeName & " Active Site is : " & strActiveSite, 0 Else WriteEvent "Cluster : " & strClusterName & " CAN'T BE CONTACTED CHECK OTHER DATA CENTRE IF BOTH ARE DOWN LOG CALLL", 1 End If End Sub Thanks, Richy Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ?

    - Load and Print PDF in IE Hello, I am developing a web application which will enable the users to print the PDF file stored on the server. The user should be able to print PDF through their local printers.So I am trying to Print a PDF through Scripting, and used "Acrobat Control for ActiveX".

    - Script which tells, where user is logged on Thanks for info and code. I am very surprised that domain servers do not hold any info on who is logging on which machine. BTW, we do not use WINS.

    - display a message on a remote machine with vbs and without using (net send) Hey all. We have a set of kiosk machines that get signed on with low level user accounts (non admin/non power user type accounts) and I am trying to figure a way to popup a message on those machines using vbscript. I have tried both vbs and psexec and a combination of both, but I cannot seem to get the message to display. If I run a tasklist on the machines in question, I see the wscript job running, just never see the message? Surely someone has done this before? Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 183891

    - Finding Thin Client name I know there is a way to find the name of a Thin Client using a batch file but I would rather find the name of the client using VBS. Is this possible and if so how do I do it. I currently run a Citrix Server and am looking at using the ThinClient name as the variable for mapping default printers. This way I can map the printer by the location of the client. Thanks for the help! Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 183889

    - help with wscript.shell Below is my script for running a wsf nested with a seperate vbs file. The problem I'm running into is with the spaces in 'my group name' - If I put quotes around it, vbs execution fails (naturally). Is there a seperate character to depict quotes within quotes or something? Also, is it possible to use variables from within this line as well? like "My" & variable & "Group Name"? Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objApp.run "cmd /k cscript //nologo c:\progra~1\GPMC\Scripts\setGPOcreationpermissions.wsf my group name /Domain:Mydomain.com" Any help is appreciated -- Josh Messerschmitt Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ?

    - detect IP subnet in login scrip I have some users that travel from site to site. Each site has a different IP subnets (assigned via local DHCP.) I would like my logon scrip to determine which office a user is logged into based on the computers IP address. That way I could call another logon script (or goto section of a logon script) based on the IP address. I can then add printers and/or map drives according to the office being used. -check local IP -if IP = a.a.a.* goto siteAlogon -if IP = b.b.b.* goto siteBlogon etc. Thanks Ken Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ?

    - use ConnectObject without WScript? Hello. I'm trying to make a (vb)script that does sockets: IE: SET Test = WScript.CreateObject("MSWinsock.Winsock", "Test_") SUB Test_Connect() : msgBox "Test::Connected" : END SUB The problem is, the program in which the script runs within, doesn't let me use the WScript object. I get this error i nthe program that runs the script: Error '424'; Object required: 'WScript' I runs fine is I run the script with wscript.exe or cscript.exe I tried the following: SET Test = CreateObject("MSWinsock.Winsock") ConnectObject Test, "Test_" SUB Test_Connect() : msgBox "Test::Connected" : END SUB But I get this error: Type mismatch: 'ConnectObject' I saw na example of ConnectObject byitself, which seems to be the same as WScript.ConnectObject, so why wont it work? I just want to do sockets and use events from it! Thanks. Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 183872

    - detecting if printer is installed in logon.bat I am currently using the method below to install our printers during login in my logon script. rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\server1\hp-printer How can I detect whether or not the printer is already installed or not. If it is installed I want to skip that part of the login script. (I don't want to see the constant message that the printers are installing every time a user logs in once it has been installed for that user.) So I would like somthing in the logon.bat to detect if the printers are already installed. Thanks Ken Tag: Create ODBC source - how to ? Tag: 183870

Hi,

Do I have a way to call SQLConfigDataSource and SQLInstallerError from
VBScript ?
Or may be there is other way to achieve equivalent functionality ?

Thank you in advance for your replies.
