    - Is there a limit on WMI connections from one computer? I have some scripts which use WMI to get system info of printers, RAM, serial no., etc... Right now I want to use 10 copies of each script as there are about 10,000 computers I need to scan and doing the whole lot at once would take too long, especially if I need a report overnight. So I cut them up into 10 scripts to run at the same time, hitting 1,000 computers each, with all 10 scripts being identical except for the computer names and IPs they read from an excel sheet. The issue I'm having is that there seems to be a one session limit on WMI, so I can't run 10 scripts on one computer. The first script runs fine, the second I run on the same computer just quits after a few seconds (viewing task manager I see two wscripts, then it goes to one). Is there a way around the limit, registry hack or something? Doing a google search got me nothing on this. Thanks for any help. Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203207

    - Calling a WSH application where arguments refer to folder names that have spaces In an HTA file I have the code shown below. It used to run in a directory other than "My Report". The old folder name had spaces and there were no problems. When it runs in the "My Report" directory a message appears saying "System can not find the file specified". The string being sent to WSH.Run is: C:\My%20Folder\script.vbs "C:\My Report\a.txt" "C:\My Report\b.txt" Changing the string to C:\My%20Folder\script.vbs ""C:\My Report\a.txt"" "C:\My Report\b.txt"" and "C:\My%20Folder\script.vbs "C:\My Report\a.txt" "C:\My Report\b.txt" " and "C:\My%20Folder\script.vbs ""C:\My Report\a.txt"" ""C:\My Report \b.txt"" " and other permutations didn't work. What do I need to do? Thanks. <script language="VBScript"> Function CreateReport File1 = "C:\My Report\a.txt" File2 = "C:\My Report\b.txt" Set WSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WSH.Run GetPath(document.location.pathname) & "my.vbs" & _ Chr(34) & File1 & Chr(34) & " " & _ Chr(34) & File2 & Chr(34) Window.Close End Function Function GetPath(Path) ix=InstrRev(Path,"\") Path=Left(Path,ix) GetPath = Path End Function </script> Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out.

    - Moving through files in a directory I am a newbie to VBScript, so any help is appreciated. I am trying to move files from one location to another. I would like to look at each file and check to see if that file is already in the destination location. If it is in that location I would like to echo out the file name. Is there a way I can create an Object and go through the files one by one? Would I try to move them all first and if I get an error message, echo out the files and keep moving on? Here is what I have so far, but this is a crude way of accomplishing the task. 'MoveFSO.vbs 'Moves files from the jump drive to network shares Option Explicit Const OverwriteExisting = True Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.CopyFile "F:\class3\*.wmf" , "O:\WWW\" , OverwriteExisting objFSO.CopyFile "F:\class3\*.jpg" , "O:\WWW\" , OverwriteExisting objFSO.CopyFile "F:\class2\*.wmf" , "N:\WWW\" , OverwriteExisting objFSO.CopyFile "F:\class2\*.jpg" , "N:\WWW\" , OverwriteExisting Const DeleteReadOnly = True objFSO.DeleteFile("F:\class3\*.wmf"), DeleteReadOnly objFSO.DeleteFile("F:\class3\*.jpg"), DeleteReadOnly objFSO.DeleteFile("F:\class2\*.wmf"), DeleteReadOnly objFSO.DeleteFile("F:\class2\*.jpg"), DeleteReadOnly Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out.

    - WMI for Querying "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" Does WMI provide any way to query whether "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" is set for a NIC? I know that you can set the value in WMI by calling SetDNSServerSearchOrder with no parameters. So you might think that you could just query DNSServerSearchOrder and get back something empty or null if "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" is set. But actually, DNSServerSearchOrder returns the DNS addresses that are currently assigned, so you can't tell if they were automatically assigned or manually assigned.

    - need help creating a VBS for an Excel file. I have an Excel file with a few worksheets in it. One of those worksheets contains data that is linked to a TXT file and another is linked to another Excel file. When I open the file it prompts to "Enable Automatic Refresh". I click yes, then I get two more prompts - one for each of the links mentioned above. Here's what I'm looking to do: I want a script that will open that file and automatically respond (in the affirmative) to those 3 prompts. I then want the file saved and copied into another location - so that when the user opens it, it is more or less "stale" data - in otherwords, it doesn't give them the option to automatically refresh. Is this possible? How? Help! Thanks! Glenn Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203188

    - Interfacing with Exchange Address Contact List Hi, I have written a VBScript that takes a tab delimited file of customer's contact information and loads it into a users contact list, and loads into distribution lists by state. This works great. The user runs the script, chooses the file's location, and it runs while their outlook is open. This is great except that it needs to be run relatively often as our customer base grows. Is it possible to schedule a VBScript to run at night that will run against a file and add it to specific user's contact list? Currently, Outlook must be open and it connects to the running account. Can i write something that does this without the user needing to be logged in? Thanks very much for your help. Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203181

    - How to refresh the start menu? Is there a way to script a refresh of the start menu (including Windows XP and newer)? Iâ??m using start menu redirection and when my file share (where the shortcuts are located) goes down and up again, I can refresh my desktop (which is also redirected) to get my shortcuts back, but for the start menu I have to kill and restart the explorer process, which isnâ??t the nicest way. Surely there must be a way to refresh the start menu in another way? Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203178

    - Sort multi-dimensional array using vb.net Hi all, I have a recordset (result after executing a SQL query) containing names of employees and their information. The [EmployeeName] column is in unicode. Due to limition of sorting unicode results in T-SQL, I would like to dump the recordset in an array and sort them according to the [EmployeeName]. Sample data will be as follows: [EmployeeNo]......[EmployeeName]......[Dept]......[Title] 193......Peter......Finance.....Manager 632......Amy......Marketing......(blank) 8765......Chris......Marketing......Clerk 87......John......HR......(blank) I guess the data should be put in an array (arr(no.ofRecords,4))similar to the one below: arr(0,0) = 193 arr(0,1) = Peter arr(0,2) = Finance arr(0,3) = Manager arr(1,0) = 632 .... I find it impossible to use the "sort" method in vb.net because it deals with 1-dimensional array only. May I know how to sort the above data in vb .net (2003) so I can have the [EmployeeName] in ascending order? I will need to display the rest of the information as well. Thanks very much.

    - Call a vbscript file from a dos batch file? Can I call a vbscript from a dos batch file? I am creating Windows 2000 and XP unattended installations. The way I have things set up is that I boot the subject computer from a dos based network boot disk. First the user is given the option to choose the Student or Teacher domain. Then the user is given the option to install either XP or 2000. I'd also like the user to be able to enter whatever the end computer's name should be (as a variable I guess). Then a vbscript residing on the appropriate server would be called. That script would read what the computers name is supposed to be, delete an existing account in Active Directory if it exists, and then create the computer account. Is this possible?

    - Need Help with file deployment script I have struggled mightily with this, but it is well beyond my fairly pathetic coding abilities. If someone could please help it would be greatly appreciated. What I have is a program that runs scripts or other executables every 5 seconds. The program will not run the script if there is already 1 instance running, so no worries about multiple instances. What I want is a script that when run, will check C:\Deploy If any files exist in the folder it will move them to C:\Backup \YYYYMMDDHHMMSS It will deploy copies of those files to a list of network destinations \\MM00156\C:\deploy for example Under normal circumstances, 3 folders will be dropped into C:\Deploy There will be any number of files within those folders, and those folder names will be static I need to copy ONLY certain files from within those folders to the network destinations preferably from a list such as C:\Backup\20070221155536\Config\Dbapi.pcs C:\Backup\20070221155536\Junk\Config.ini etc etc etc The files when delivered to the network locations will always be overwriting old files, so would need some sort of overwrite without confirm setting or something. My thinking was that the list could be an array populated from an ini file (I suck at arrays), or could just be listed within the script itself, the list of filenames would never change, so it doesn't really matter. I got as far as being able to create the backup folder, but am really struggling with how to make it not create a backup folder every 5 seconds, and how to copy only the files in my list. Option Explicit Dim N, objFSO, objFolder Dim strDirectory N = Now strDirectory = "C:\Backup\" & ((((Year(N)*100 + Month(N))*100 + Day(N))*100 + Hour(N))*100 + Minute(N))*100 + Second(N) Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory) Permissions would already be set on all folders to allow the necessary operations, so no issues there. Anyway, I'd really like some help on this one if possible Thank you SO much in advance. Jason Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203100

    - Script to Delete Internet Cache Files? I am looking for a way to delete the internet cache files via a script, without deleting cookies. I have a website which is being upgraded, and the new version crashes due to old internet cache files that are not refreshed properly. Deleting the cache files corrects the problem, but I want to avoid having each user do this when they access the app after the upgrade, as it will generate a lot of calls for our help desk. IE is already configured to check for new files on every visit to the page, but this is not working in this case. We could simply delete the contents of everyone's temporary internet files, but this would remove their cookies and all their favorite settings would be lost. This would upset some users, and politically be a bad move, so it is not really an option. I was hoping there would be some way to script this so we could delete all of the cache files, excluding offline content and cookies, just like you do from the Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203097

    - ActiveD I have a logon script that is assigned to all my users through and Active Directory Group Policy that attempts to setup a network drive mapping. If the drive letter is already mapped to another path it removes the mapping first using RemoveNetworkDrive. It then creates the new mapping using MapNetworkDrive. If the correct mapping already exists the script does nothing. At the end of the script I loop through the emumerated drives to verify that the mapping exists and it does, but My problem is that for most users the drive mapping seems to vanish as soon as the script ends.

    - Creating a directory structure Please forgive my being a novice on the subject of scripting. I have no previous history with any type of coding (except a little HTML). I'm not looking for the solution. I wouldn't ask that of anyone (unless you really want to give it to me). I've been a part of help forums before and I hate it when people have no desire to actually do it themselves. What I am looking for is perhaps a good resource to begin researching the solution. What steps should I be looking to take? Here's what needs to be accomplished: The script needs to read a file (I'm not sure if it's an excel spreadsheet or a text document). In this document is a list of items. The script will need to create a folder with the names in the document. Then, the script needs to also create 10 subfolders with specific names. The names of the subfolders will be the same for all of the main folders. Within those subfolders, there'd be other subfolders, again - identical throughout. The file that the script reads will only provide the names of the main folders. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Here is where it fails: wscript.echo name(i) wscript.echo state(i) wscript.echo j Set currentDistro = objContacts.Items(stateNames(j)) wscript.echo stateNames(j) wscript.echo VbCrLf Set myTempItem = objOutlook.CreateItem(0) Set myRecipients = myTempItem.Recipients myRecipients.Add (name(i) & "-" & state(i)) currentDistro.AddMembers(myRecipients) currentDistro.Save <---- Error occurs on this line, line 141 The output when it fails looks like this: Jane Smith CA 4 CALIFORNIA addCSVtoOutlookTAB.csv(141, 4) (null): Operation aborted <--- from cscript at command line Error Code 80004004 Source (Null) from WSH. It fails at this point EVERY TIME but there is nothing special about this record. Many other people have been successfully added into the CALIFORNIA distribution list, such as Jane Doe CA 4 CALIFORNIA in the output just before Jane Smith. I am confused at what this means. Thanks for any guidance. Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203034

    - List folder and subfolders on remote computers I have this script that I execute from an asp page that lists a computer's C:\Windows subfolders and gives thier size but only shows the first level. I would like to have it list all subfolders past the first level too. It is my understanding that FileObject doesn't work on remote computers so I've been using WMI.

    - script adding/changing network printers and drivers We have many users that move between locations and need to print at each location. The concept is to put a script on an intra-net page that will allow users to choose their location and then be able to download and/or click a link that will automatically install printers and drivers for the location. I am new to scripting, have some understanding of vbscript, but need help with how/if this might be done. Any help would be very appreciated. Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203019

    - Do...Loop search execution problem Hi- I've patched some code together for a script that will (hopefully) delete an icon when the script detects that the cd the icon is linked to is no longer in the drive. This is part of an HTA file I've created for software support/installation. Problem is that when the script loops that it doesn't actually search again. I've tried playing with the placement of the do...loop stuff but all I've succeeded in doing is getting the "loop without do" error. The rest of the script works great but halfway isn't complete. Here's the offending code... strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root \cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_CDROMDrive") For Each objItem in colItems strDrive = objItem.Drive Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * From CIM_DataFile Where FileName = 'autorun' " & _ "AND Extension = 'hta' AND Drive = '" & strDrive & "'") Do Do While colFiles.Count = 1 wScript.Sleep 10000 If colFiles.Count = 0 Then Exit Do End If Loop Loop Until colFiles.Count = 0 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ThisDrive = fso.GetDriveName(currdir) Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile(strDesktop & "\cdrom.lnk") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strScript = Wscript.ScriptFullName objFSO.DeleteFile(strScript) Next WScript.quit Thanks for the help in advance Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out.

    - FSO Issues with Unicode I am having a bit of trouble dealing with HTML files that I am manipulating via VBS. There are hundreds of files that I need to parse for specific text in the tables that may exist on the page. I am using IE to load the file, then enumerating the Tags collection to search for what I want, then deleting the table row where the text is found. Here is where the issue comes up. I need to then save the file using FSO at this point. However, every once in a while there will be an issue with saving a file that causes this error : "Invalid Procedure call or argument" I found this page that explains the issue, an unexpected character in an FSO writeline method. http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/files/directories-fso/why-do-i-get-invalid-procedure-call-or-argument.html If I set the Unicode save option, then all is well. However, the HTML files are part of a Microsoft HTML Workshop project that does not support Unicode, I need to save in plain text, but FSO chokes on about 10 files in a thousand. So I thought I would try using an ADO stream and see where that gets me. But I am having a bit of trouble getting the page from the Instance of IE available to the ADO object. Can someone please give me some pointers on how to get a page loaded in an instance of IE to an ADO stream so I can save the beast ? I have been here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/4ead2a13-de31-487e-b826-53f132f25cbb.asp But it is a bit of a challenge to figure out which information is relevant to MSXML2.XMLHTTP and which is relevant to MSXML2.DomDocument. I seem to be able to load the page using DomDocument with the loadXML method, but the DomDomcument does not support the responseBody method so I can not get the information to the ADO stream. Any and all help is appreciated. TIA TDM Tag: Detect a scheduled script timed out. Tag: 203007

I have a vbscript scheduled task that has the scheduled task timeout
set to 2 hours. How can I make the script aware that it is about to be
terminated? Is there a script event I can use to do this?
