    - VBScript Parsing XML Question Hello everyone, I have an xml file which I need to loop through using vbscript. The format looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <hotfixes> <Server> <ServerName>Server1</ServerName> <hotfix>KB819696</hotfix> <hotfix>KB823182</hotfix> <hotfix>KB823353</hotfix> <hotfix>KB823559</hotfix> <hotfix>KB824105</hotfix> </Server> <Server> <ServerName>Server2</ServerName> <hotfix>KB823182</hotfix> <hotfix>KB823353</hotfix> <hotfix>KB823559</hotfix> <hotfix>KB824105</hotfix> <hotfix>KB824141</hotfix> </Server> </hotfixes> I am very familiar with vbscript but I don't know much in the way of reading xml files. I am looking for some help to read this file. I would need to store each servername for each server element, of which there could be anywhere from 1-300. I also need to loop through the hotfix nodes for each server element save the hotfix name with the servername if it matches a certain string. Basically, I need to do the following: 1. Loop through each server node. 2. Get the server name. 3. Loop through each hotfix element in the current server node and save the name if it matches some text. 4. Save the servername and any hotfix names found for that server node. 5. Move onto the next server node and repeat the process until the xml file is complete. If anyone could help me out with a script or some code to get me started, it would be much appreciated. Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201847

    - File renames, en masse Hi - a client running a W2k domain w/XP Pro workstations (not that it's specifically relevant) has currently got a slew of files in their main shared folder tree, which they'd like to rename for organization/sorting purposes. There are probably about 3000 files in total, in multiple subfolders. They're mostly Office files (Word & Excel). Currently, the files are named similarly to the following: X-00-dd-mm-yy-keywords-author.doc ...where the "X" is some initial for the type of file (e.g. M=memo), "00" is the last two digits of the project number, etc. To make things easier to sort, they're looking at something like the following, instead: X-00-yyyy-mm-dd-keywords-author.doc ....I'd suggested that even if this is possible, it might be more useful to use yyyy-mm-dd-X-00-keywords-author.doc for sorting purposes. However, as I'm a complete moron when it comes to this sort of thing, I thought I'd post in here. I know how to do some extremely simple things with batch files, and that's about it. I'd do a complete full backup first, of course, and would run this overnight. Anyone want to help me look brilliant for this client? I won't steal credit for the idea; I told them I had no clue and was going to ask some smart people. Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201843

I'm trying to open a word file wich is situated on our server and to safe it into the same directory as an HTML file. But i get always the same error "Command failed" on the line of the Open statement. I actually tried almost everything and i'm running out of time. I checked that the there are full control permissions on the winword.exe and on the file directory i also tried to to the word part client side, but nothing and i mean nothing happens.

    - response.write question I have written an asp/vbscript script that returns some personal details to a flash frontend using the following code. response.write "vRESPONSE=success&vUSER_ID=45&vNAME=Fred&vCOMPANY=some company" This works fine until the variable value has an ampersand in it i.e response.write "vRESPONSE=success&vUSER_ID=45&vNAME=Fred&vCOMPANY=Fred & Co." and then it fails since it looks like the start of a new variable name. So I then tried to urlencode the values so ampesand became %26, which works fine for the ampersand but then some other characters get screwed up, particuarly extended unicide values. Could anyone give me any pointers on how I should be doingf this? Many thanks Dave Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201840

    - Need help on simple "FOR" script For maintenance purposes I need a script that will delete the Temp files and Temporary Internet Files. Due to the nature of a utility we're using to manage client PCs, this script will run as a scheduled task with admin credentials, and preferably will clear out these files under all profiles on the target system. I know there are other approaches (eg, edit the login script or logoff script), but if someone can get the script below to work (I found it through searches though the poster could not get it to function), it would be greatly appreciated. Or potentially suggesting an alternative script to the one below - whatever works!

    - Add User to Local Administrators Group Hi all- I need a script that I can run from my admin workstation. It would add a user to the remote workstations Administrators group. Now the tricky part, I need to be able to add the current user who is logged on to the Administrators group. Why you ask? We use a legacy app that requires the user be a local admin and I screwed up and set a Restricted Groups policy that erased all of the local admins except the Domain Admin group. I am not a script writer, I'm only an editor :) I have found scripts to add users/groups to the local admin (easy if you know who to add) and scripts that detect the logged on user but nothing that I can cobble together to do both. I'm thinking of something like this: get list of domain computers from AD use generated list to call psloggedon and get the user info use that list to call psexec and cmd /c net localgroup administrators "psloggedon user"/add log success / failure Anyone want to take a crack at it?

    - Calculate time difference in mini-second with VBScript Hi All, I have two questions. First, we wrote a script to monitor file server response time. But datediff() function can only calculate time difference in seconds. We are asked to provide data in mini-second. Is this possible in VBScript? Or, i have to use vb.net? 2nd question, we wrote a script to list file service connection information on a fie server, then try to check virus defination file on connected client using WMI. But some of this client is not in our domain. When this occurs, the script tale very long time to retry. Is is possible to set a timeout value before create a wmi connection?

    - Closing Word instantly Frequently, my Word 97 gets frozen and then I use the Close Program dialog box to kill it, but the Close Program d.b. often takes a good long time to display the dialog that actually closes Word, so I'm sitting there waiting for maybe 30 seconds or more to complete this process. Is there a way via a .vbs file (or maybe some other kind of file) whereby Word can be closed instantly and in one step, without having to deal with two dialog boxes? Thanks.

    - Multilevel Explorer context menus You can add to the (right click) context menu of a file type (say .min is of type myFile => HKCR\.min has default property myFile) by putting into the registry: HKCR\myFile\shell\open (with defualt key something like: &Open with myProg HKCR\myFile\shell\open\command (with default key something like: c: \winapps\myProg.exe "%1" %* To add this context menu for all files (for example, for your favorite editor), replace myFile with * (asterisk) in the above. Furthermore, you could replace open, above, with Cmd or Edit or Edit2 since it is only used for ordering within the context menu (not 100% true since there are some special words like open). If there is a conflict between HKCR\myFile\shell\myCmd and HKCR\*\shell\myCmd then the more specific one (with myFile) is used Nifty. I have two questions: 1. Is there a simple minded way to get a multi level entry in the context menu? In other words, suppose I want (within the context menu) a right arrow at the right of &Open with myProg which will then display: myProg options so that if I click on that my script can do its thing and show me an options dialog. This would help alleviate clutter in my context menu. There is an example of multi level menus with WinZip -> Add to recently used Zip file -> ... zip file list ..., although they have their own context menu handler so it's not simple minded in the sense of only requiring trivial registry changes. 2. The simple introductory example at the top (with the asterisk (*)) inserts the menu item when right clicking of any explorer file. It does not insert the menu when clicking over a folder or over empty space in explorer. Is there a simple way to hook the menu in for either of those cases?

    - InternetExplorer.Application / objShell.Windows + obj.document.parentWindow Hey, I finally found out how to access the window properties of an InternetExplorer.Application / objShell.Windows objects. First I thought this wasn't even possible, since the InternetExplorer.Application / objShell.Windows objects basically represent the window themselves, so the next DOM level is the document: set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") set objShellWindows = objShell.Windows set FirstWindow = objShellWindows.Item(0) WScript.Echo FirstWindow.document.nodeName ---------------------------------------------------- Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","objIE_") WScript.Echo objIE.document.nodeName But on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/parentwindow.asp Microsoft tells us about the parentWindow Property of the document. This way you can move again upwards the DOM to the window object and access all of its properties: Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","objIE_") WScript.Echo objIE.document.parentWindow.name will return the name of the current Internet explorer window, whereas WScript.Echo objIE.name will return the name of the objShell.Windows (="Internet Explorer") Also, it would be interesting to convert the entire VB/VBA syntax for the WebBrowser control to VBScript, since there is no reference on MSDN for the VB Scripting edition: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reflist_vb.asp For example, the MSDN VB reference for the NavigateError event of the IE/WebBrowser objects reads as follows: Private Sub object_NavigateError( _ ByVal pDisp As Object, _ ByVal URL As Variant, _ ByVal TargetFrameName As Variant, _ ByVal StatusCode As Variant, _ ByRef Cancel As Boolean) In order to use this event in VBScript, it has to look like this: Sub objIE_NavigateError(pDisp,URL,TargetFrameName,StatusCode,Cancel) wscript.echo "objIE_NavigateError" End Sub Here's a script that will change the name property of the InternetExplorer.Application object every time you open a new document or download a file: ON ERROR RESUME NEXT Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","objIE_") objIE.Visible = True objIE.Navigate2 "http://www.google.com" Do While objIE.Visible WScript.Sleep 1000 Loop Sub objIE_NavigateComplete2(pDisp, URL) objIE.document.parentWindow.name = "_new" End Sub Sub objIE_FileDownload(ActiveDocument,Cancel) if (objIE.Document.all.length > 0) then objIE.document.parentWindow.name = "_new" end if End Sub Sub objIE_OnQuit() WScript.Quit End Sub I am still trying to get the NewWindow3 Event to fire through VBScript: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/events/newwindow3.asp I wonder what the VBScript syntax for this event is Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201802

    - If Then Exit Do I have created a user creation script. It reads user attributes from a text file and creates one user at a time. It basically runs like While there are rows in the text file Do read value1 read value2 read value3 read value4 do a whole bunch of stuff (set attirbutes, add users to groups, etc) Loop Let's say though that value2 must be exactly 6 digits in length. If not, the script should fail creating this user account and move on to the next. I thought of using Exit Do, but won't that end the script rather then moving to the next user? Is there a way to do this. I just figure it would be faster and make the most sense to stop the creation of the specific account and move on to the next one.

    - Modifying the Registry Hi, Here's my problem: I want to shedule on legacy Windows Servers (Windows 2000 Servers) to run the Sysinternals contig.exe application, which is very useful and powerful to defragment drives and folders. But before running the contig.exe, you have to accept the EULA by clicking on the "I accept" button of a pop-up window. Once accepted, several keys and a dword are added to the registry. I want to schedule this task by using a "special user" allowed to connect as a batch job only. It doesn't have any profile, and, very important, doesn't have any keys in the registry under the HKEY_USERS. Once running this script for the first time by the scheduler, the EULA pop-up is not displayed, so no new keys can be added to the registry, and then the script cannot run and waits for the click on the "I accept the EULA" button. My goal is to create automatically the keys and the dword value before the schedule task runs this script, and then the EULA will be already accepted without clicking on this button. Can someone explain me why in the following script, the creation of the keys and the value is not working. Thanks a lot. The steps are: 1 - getting the SID of my special user 2 - creating the key with the SID under HKEY_Users 3 - creating all the key and subkeys for the Sysinternals contig application 4 - creating the new dword named "EulaAccepted" with a value of '1' ---------------------------------------------------- ' Get the Account SID of the user used by the scheduler strComputer = "."

    - Mapping Problem I administer a hospital network using a Win2003 domain. I have a requirement to also provide service for some applications to medical offices that are not part of my domain. Most of these offices connect to my domain using either a client or a site-to-site VPN. To connect to a recent deployed application I wrote a VB script that maps a drive then calls the application. Problem is that sometimes the application starts before the drive is mapped. Some of the VPN connections are slow and it may take 30 secs or more to get the drive mapped. When this happens the application fails to run. How can I change my script so that the application is not called until the mapping is successful? My script follows. '*********************************************************************** 'Script: HealthPort_Map 'This script maps a drive for healthport then calls the application '************************************************************************ On Error Resume Next Dim objNetwork, objShell Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Z:", "\\Nazgul\Healthimages",,"NVh1\password" Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ObjShell.Run "C:\HP.lnk", 1, True -- Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201731

    - RegEx Part 2 I'm reposting this because I had said that I was finished with the previous thread, but then this came up... I have another problem (I'm really bad at RegEx)... and I spent the last few hours looking for a resolution... I want to remove all the double double (""a"") quotes, and replace them with single double ("a") quotes... but In my file I have the following: =""2"" (not valid) But also, ="" (valid) Sometimes there is a space at the end followed by another tag: =""3"" FrameId=""BR1"" and sometime not, =""8wR4""> And sometimes the value is correct: ="1" Ayush or anyone following this thread - if you can help that would be great - I will continue with the 'trial and error', but so far no luck.

I am slightly confused here as to who is writing what. this just seems to be an amalgam of posts and replies posted to here to keep the thread going. >Confession time - the victim is/was me (except my name isn't >Corley, but that's irrelevant).

This happpened to me, You mean the category where they think that everyone is after them ? that one ? So lets get this straight you know you are paranoid and you think that they are out to get you ? Uh huh, try putting the two together and see what you come up with. >quite some time ago in the UK (I'm originally from London >so I've seen plenty of British media print and other). >They invaded my home with their bugs, they repeated what I >was saying in the privacy of my home, and they laughed that it >was "so funny", that I was impotent and could not even communicate >what was going on. Who did this? Our friends on BBC television, >our friends in ITN, last but not least our friends in Capital >Radio in London and on Radio 1. Oh yeah, I can see it now. All of them banding together, in a united effort against one man. So ITN, the BBC, and Capital all decide to sit round the table and they come up with idea of breaking into someones house, putting bugs everywhere, listening in to his conversation, and shoving it out on the news everyday. This someone has nothing to do with politics, or business, or entertainment, just an ordinary Joe Bloggs who seems to be extremely paranoid. Have some sense, grow up and smell reality. What you are talking about would take loads of planning, tens of thousands of pounds and lots of people involved in the planning, execution and maintenance of it. You must have a very high opinion of yourself to think you are worth it. >How did they do this? I'll give you an example. About a year ago, >I was listening to Chris Tarrant (Capital Radio DJ among other >pursuits) on his radio morning show, when he said, talking about >someone he didn't identify, "you know this bloke? he says we're >trying to kill him. We should be done for attempted manslaughter" >which mirrored something I had said a day or two before >(I'm not paranoid, honest!). Now that got broadcast to the whole >of London - if any recordings are kept of the shows then it'll be >there. Of course you are not paranoid, just slightly mad. Did you ever look for the bugs in your house ? If not, why not ? I mean if I thought that was happening to me, I'd search the place from top to bottom, I mean I live there I would know if anything was out of place. If I was really paranoid, whoops I mean suspicious, I would call in one of those bug detection teams which have those machines that pick up the transmitted radio waves. This reminds me of BUGS, that new programme on BBC1 on saturdays which is all about this kind of stuff, but, shown as a drama / thriller. I suppose thats based on you as well is it ? >is that there is a conspiracy in Britain, that it encompasses the >broadcast media, and there is no way of breaking the conspiracy. >The people who are involved in it will not open up. What a load of jolly hollyhocks, I would say something else but, apparently students are not allowed to swear on newsgroups in case it damages the reputation of the university or some such jolly hollyhocks. This guy is extremely paranoid to suggest that the entire British media is after him in such a big way. He gives no real reason as to why they are after him, just that he suffers/suffered from a slight mental disorder, could it be paranoia perhaps ?? No surely not. I put it to the house that he has never recovered from this mental disorder, lets come out with it and call it paranoia, and thinks everyone is after him. Remember just because you aren't paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you. This guy has a serious problem to suggest that the media would go to such lengths just to single out and ridicule one person. I mean apart from anything else, we ( the listening masses) wouldn't be interested unless it concerned the royal family, politicians or showbiz personalities. e.g. the camillagate tapes. I would think that almost everyone, no matter how much they went on about infringements of privacy read the transcripts with interest. I really don't think that Joe Bloggs ordinary guy or paranoid nutter would have the same appeal. Well actually I dunno. :) Regards, Paul. -- Paul Orrock, Websurfer wannabe, http://www.idiscover.co.uk/paul/home.html PC Consultant and HTML freelance Writer, http://www.idiscover.co.uk/paul/ =========================================================================== Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock. 1189 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201714

    - Win32_NTEventlogFile Hi All Not sure if anyone can help. I am running the query "select * from Win32_NTEventlogFile" on several servers and desktops with varying results. In addition to the standard logs SYSTEM, APPLICATION and SECURITY I have another log "MYLOG" that is created and appended to by several in house applications. Unusually, if I run the above query on an Server 2003 without a SP1 I do not get the instance of my own log file "MYLOG" returned. If I run the query on a Server 2003 with SP1 then I do. I also seem to be unable to find the instance on any XP SP2 machines. Furthermore, to add to the confusion the Win32_NTLogEvent table does contain events for all 4 logs including my inhouse eventlog "MYLOG". Does anyone have any ideas on what may be going wrong? I would like to be able to use the ClearEventlog method on my Win32_NTEventlogFile instance. Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201685

    - VBScript or VB.Net? Hi All, I need to write a program/script that gathers some data from Windows systems, compare it with SQL Database and update if it's changed. My question is what should i use? VBScript or VB.Net? Here is my background.. I am a systems administrator. I have experience with: C, C++, Visual C++, VBScript I know little bit about: VB 6.0, Java I don't know anything about: dotNet (but would like to learn :) ) I am sure that i can do my task with VBScript. But since this is not going to be a small script/program, should i go with more powerful language like VB.Net even though i don't know much about it? Based on my experience, do you think i should go with VB.Net? or just stick to VBScript? Thank you all for your help. Tag: Create a registry key with a script Tag: 201678

What is also strange (apart from it working fine on my development machine), is that it actually calculates OK every second refresh. i.e. 1. Refresh - error 2. Refresh - OK 3.

strValue = "http://server"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue

The key WindowsUpdate don't exist on some of the computer, what can I add on
my script to create that key?

thanks for your help.
