    - script fails if string contains chinese characters I have a vbscript (see below) that works fine when Regional Options are set to English (US). However, if I change the Regional Options to Chinese (PRC), the script fails with the following error message: Test.vbs(20, 4) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Invalid procedure call or argument The statement that fails is f=2EWrite(msg) The value of msg is " starting on 2007=E5=B9=B44=E6=9C=882=E6=97=A5 xxx" As a workaround, I can get the script to work by changing FormatDateTime(now(),1) to FormatDateTime(now(),4) ' -- returns a date in short format w/o chinese characters However, I am wondering if there is a way of making the script to work with the long date format. Does anyone know why the long format cause this problem? Is it because latin digits are mixed with chinese characters? I see the problem on both XP SP2 and Win 2003 SP1. Thanks for any suggestion. HH Here is the actual script: '--------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------------ Const ForReading =3D 1, ForWriting =3D 2, ForAppending =3D 8 Const OutFile =3D "c:\testfile.txt" Dim fso, f, msg Set fso =3D CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") if fso.FileExists(OutFile) Then fso.DeleteFile(OutFile) End If Set f =3D fso.OpenTextFile(OutFile, ForWriting, True) msg =3D " starting on " & FormatDateTime(now(),1) & " xxx" FormatDateTime(now(),4) & "." & vbCrLf WScript.Echo "msg type is " & TypeName(msg) WScript.Echo msg f.Write(msg) f.Close '--------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------------ Tag: Credentials when using Controller.CreateScript Tag: 204540

    - Boxes appear instead of text when appending to a file. Hi All, I'm new to vbscripting and have an issue which I just can't figure out. I'm hoping somebody here can set me straight. My Dilemma, When Appending to a text fil via my script, the text shows up as boxes in Notepad instead of text. If I copy the text to MSWord or Excel i see what looks like boxes and other crazy characters. Funny thing is that when I write to the text file, I have no issues, the text comes out clean. I'm sure it's my code that is jacked up, so please do fix her up if you see a problem. I've also attempted specifying the format as ASCII and get the same result. Here's what I see in the text file =E2=B5=84=E4=B5=81=C2=B5=C2=A5=E4=B1=93=E2=B5=83=E4=B1=82=E3=80=B0=E0=A4=B1= =C5=BE=C2=BA=C3=87=C3=85=C2=AB@=C5=93=C2=AB=E3=8C=89=E3=88=AF=E2=BC=B9=E3= =80=B2=E3=9C=B0=E3=8C=A0=E3=94=BA=E3=A8=B9=E3=A4=B0=E2=80=9A=E2=80=B9=E0=B5= =8D Here's my script, you'll notice this is an HTA so the interesting section should be between <script Language=3D"VBScript"> and </script> TIA <head> <title>Policy</title> <HTA:APPLICATION ID=3D"Policy" APPLICATIONNAME=3D"Policy" SCROLL=3D"yes" SINGLEINSTANCE=3D"yes" WINDOWSTATE=3D"normal" > </head> <script language=3D"VBScript"> Option Explicit Const USER_PROFILE =3D &H28& Const ForReading =3D 1 Const ForWriting =3D 2 Const ForAppending =3D 8 Dim PolicyTextPath, PolicyFolderPath, PolicyUsername, PolicyReportingPath, PolicyReportingTextPath, PolicyFileName, PolicyReportingobjFile, _ PolicyTextobjFile, PolicyobjFSO, Policyarrcommands, PolicyobjNetwork, PolicyobjFolderItem, PolicyobjShell, PolicyobjFolder, PolicyobjComputer, _ objPolicyFSO, objPolicyFile, PolicyContents, TextstrWordList, TextstrSearchWord, ReportingstrWordList, ReportingstrSearchWord, PolicyReportingText, PolicyText Set PolicyobjFSO =3D CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set PolicyobjNetwork =3D CreateObject("Wscript.Network") Set PolicyobjShell =3D CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set PolicyobjFolder =3D PolicyobjShell.Namespace(USER_PROFILE) Set PolicyobjFolderItem =3D PolicyobjFolder.Self Set PolicyobjComputer =3D CreateObject("Shell.LocalMachine") Set PolicyobjShell =3D CreateObject("Shell.Application") 'Wscript.Echo PolicyobjFolderItem.Path PolicyReportingPath =3D "\\blabkup\softwaredeployment\policies\Reporting \" PolicyFolderPath =3D PolicyobjFolderItem.Path & "\policy" PolicyUsername =3D PolicyobjNetwork.Username Sub Window_onLoad Policyarrcommands =3D Split(Policy.commandLine, chr(34)) PolicyFileName =3D Policyarrcommands(3) PolicyTextPath =3D PolicyobjFolderItem.Path & "\policy\" & PolicyFileName & ".txt" PolicyReportingTextPath =3D PolicyReportingPath & PolicyFileName & "=2Etxt" Call PolicyPath End Sub '=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Sub PolicyPath Dim PolicyPath PolicyPath =3D "\\blabkup\softwaredeployment\policies\Policy\" & PolicyFileName & ".txt" Set objPolicyFSO =3D CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objPolicyFile =3D objPolicyFSO.OpenTextFile _ (Policypath, ForReading) PolicyContents =3D objPolicyFile.ReadAll objPolicyFile.Close BasicTextArea.value =3D PolicyContents End Sub '=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Sub CheckBox If Checkbox1.Checked Then Msgbox "By selecting the (I Agree) checkbox you agree to the policy listed and it's contents."

    - Parsing Script Help I need to create a parsing script, but it has been a long time since I've done any scripting that I need a major refresher. Here is what I need from the script: 1. Read an IDX file (large text file from an AS400/iSeries) 2. Capture the characters 1-16 and 17-32 as separate variables (Lets call them A and B) 3. Compare A and B to see if they are identical, if they are ignore them, if they aren't prepare them for output This is only the first part of a bigger process. What is happening is...Imagine you have an account at a bank (A). For each account you can have an additional sub account, like multiple savings, checking, vacation, car loan, etc... and each of these would be identified by their own number in field B. If you only have one account A will always equal B, but if you have multiple accounts A will never equal B. So I need to know which set of A's and B's don't equal. Once I have that information I will need to compare it with another file to make sure that the B value belongs to the A value. So back to our example I want to make sure John Doe's checking account belongs to John Doe and not John Smith. For right now All I need help with is the separating the data relevant to what I need. Thank you. Tag: Credentials when using Controller.CreateScript Tag: 204533

    - Windows Scripting (WSH) Filetypes... Hello, Folks! I know that .VBS and .JS are used as just straight scripting filetypes that can be run by CScript.exe or WScript.exe. I, also, know that .WSF files are XML-based scripting files where you can have VBS and / or JS sections mixed together (not sure if this is run through WScript, CScript, or both). I have read that a .WSH file is a "Window Scripting Host Settings file" but I have never seen any examples of it being used. Does anyone have any practical examples of using a .WSH file? TIA...

    - force a script to resume before it is ready Can I be Helped??? This is part of my FTP script that connects to multiple Computers (as determined by a machine.txt file) and retrieves a file from each computer with all having the same name. The script then renames that file to the computer name, date and time. My problem is when one of the computers is not available, the script hangs while attempting to get that file then errors out because it is trying to rename a file that does not exist. I know that you can use "on error resume next" with regard to renaming a file that does not exist, but I would still like to make it continue after only a few seconds. My questions; Can you tell it to "On error resume next" say after only 3 or 4 seconds. or can I tell it "On error to Cleanup files" and goto Next to continue loop. Thanks so much, Cisco '__________________________________________________ ' now run the FTP batch file created above ' create a shell and run the batch file '_________________________________________________ Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell") oShell.run strFTPBat,0,TRUE Set oShell = Nothing '_____________________________________ 'Cleanup files '_______________________________________ fso.DeleteFile strFTPBat,1 fso.DeleteFile strResponseFile,1 '______________________________________________ 'Rename the Files '_____________________________________________ set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") set file = fso.getfile("machine.ini") mybase = fso.getbasename(file.name) myext = fso.getextensionname(file.name) mysuffix = replace(formatdatetime(now(),vbShortdate),"/","-") mytime = replace(formatdatetime(now(),vbLongTime),":","-") file.name = mybase & strFtpHost & "-" & mysuffix & "-" & mytime & "." & myext 'file.name = mybase & strFtpHost & "-" & mysuffix & "." & myext 'msgbox file.name '______________________________________________ 'Continue Loop '_______________________________________________ Next '____________End Of Script__________ Tag: Credentials when using Controller.CreateScript Tag: 204511

    - Run As command from inside batch file From inside my batch file I need to run an application as a different user, similar to the Run As command from the desktop. I'm currently using a DOS Batch file but could use a vbscript batch as well. Is there a way to exexcute a file from a batch file as a different user? My current solution is using a Scheduled Task that is configured to run as a different user and then I run that Task from the batch file. schtasks /run /tn wbp04324_filecopy I'd like to avoid using the Scheduled Task if I can call it directly.

    - Fastest way to test for empty string I am a programmer for a small web development company, using classic ASP (on IIS 6). The question has arisen as to whether a test of the form 'Len(x)=0' executes faster than 'x=""'. My initial guess was that 'x=""' would be faster than 'Len(x)=0', but a colleague disagrees. I very quickly knocked up the following test script, which is followed by the results I obtained from three runs. === s1 = "" s2 = "hello" t1 = now() for i = 1 to 10000000 if s1 = "" then j = 1 if s2 = "" then j = 2 next t2 = now() for i = 1 to 10000000 if Len(s1) = 0 then j = 1 if Len(s2) = 0 then j = 2 next t3 = now() wscript.echo (t2-t1)*84600, (t3-t2)*84600 === C:\Documents and Settings\Nick.BRAM-2\Desktop>test1.vbs Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001.

    - Internet connections settings via VBS? Hi folks, I've got the following scenario: We run in our domain XP-SP2 and 2K workstations with Internet Explorer 6 and 7. I'm looking for a solution to set up two checkboxes within IE6 and IE7: "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" on the "Local Area Network Settings" tab. What I got so far is: I built an ADM template file to set the property "Use automatic configuration script". It works fine. It's not a problem to solve this in VBS because the property is saved in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings in the variable AutoConfigURL. The catch is to check the box "Automatically detect settings". For IE7 I found the solution in deleting the whole key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections IE7 re-creates it after start and the desired box is checked. IE6 doesn't work in the same way. It also creates the key after deletion, but without the box checked. The status of the box "Automatically detect settings" seems to be stored in the REG_Binary values in the key above. Because I don't know how to interpret this type of value I tried another way using WMI. Yes, I was able to retrieve IEs settings with this little script and tried to save a changed value back using the put_ method. strComputer = "." '~ Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer _ '~ & "\root\cimv2\Applications\MicrosoftIE") '~ Set colIESettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ '~ ("Select * from MicrosoftIE_LANSettings") '~ For Each strIESetting in colIESettings '~ 'Wscript.Echo "Autoconfiguration proxy: " & strIESetting.AutoConfigProxy '~ 'Wscript.Echo "Autoconfiguration URL: " & strIESetting.AutoConfigURL '~ 'Wscript.Echo "Autoconfiguration Proxy detection mode: " & _ '~ strIESetting.AutoProxyDetectMode = 1 '~ 'Wscript.Echo "Proxy: " & strIESetting.Proxy '~ 'Wscript.Echo "Proxy override: " & strIESetting.ProxyOverride '~ 'Wscript.Echo "Proxy server: " & strIESetting.ProxyServer '~ strIESetting.Put_ '~ Next Unfortunately the provider doesn't support this method in this class. Do you have an idea to solve this problem? I'm not sure about using branding, because I need to keep the settings flexible to change. Thanks a lot.

    - Delete Virtual Directory if path does not exist We have an installer which is removing some Virtual Directories physical folder, however it leaves it as a Virtual Directory in IIS. I'm trying to write a VBScript that removes all Virtual Directories without a valid path. However it seems to be deleting every other virtual directory. i.e. If I have 2 VDs that do not have valid paths, it will delete 1, but leave 2. If I try to delete 3 VDs, 1 and 3 get deleted and 2 remains and so on. Can someone look at my code and see what I'm missing? I assume it has something to do this on error resume next,but I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Get IP Address and MAC Address via script Hi all, I realize this topic has been discussed before, but unfortunately I am unable to find the answer I'm looking for in previous threads. I am currently writing a domain migration script to join workstations to an Active Directory domain. As part of the script, I am gathering computer information and writing success/failure information to a database. Two of the columns in the database are for IP Address and MAC Address. The following script seems to give me most of what I'm looking for. Obviously, I'm not going to echo these values to the screen, rather store them and write them to the database. However, I've realized that while the script will ignore all adapters where the IP Address is 0.0.0.0, it does not account for multiple adapters with a valid IP Address. In other words, the last one in the loop with a valid IP will be stored in the variable. Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") Set colAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where IPEnabled = True") For Each oAdapter in colAdapters For Each sIPAddress in oAdapter.IPAddress If sIPAddress <> "0.0.0.0" Then Wscript.Echo "IP Address:" & sIPAddress & vbcrlf & "MAC Address:" & oAdapter.MACAddress End If Next Next Has any one got an idea how to handle the case where there may be multiple adapters with an IP Address or a single adapter with multiple IP Addresses?

I am using Controller.CreateScript successfully to run scripts remotely on
hosts in the same domain. When trying to launch the Controller.CreateScript
on a host that is not in the same domain, I receive a Permission denied
error, and there is an "Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server" in
the event log on the server in which the object was attempted. There is not
a trust relationship between these 2 Windows 2000 domains. I would like to
keep things as secure as possible (i.e. I don't want to give "everyone"
permission to create WSHRemote on my host) - what is the best way to
configure the server in the alternate (non-trusting) domain to accept my
remote script, or configure the CreateScript to pass credentials?
