    - Inconsistent Results Hello, I have written a vbscript - actually an HTA, which checks to see if a user is a member of an AD group. For some users it will correctly return the correct results. For others it will say that a user is not a member of a group when actually they are. When looking at group membership through the Active Directory snap in it shows the correct membership. At first I thought the issue might be something to do with the Domain Controller the script was interrogating, however looking on those DC's with the AD snap in also shows the correct membership. It is worth mentioning that newer accounts dont seem to return the correct results. The only thing that needs to be changed in the HTA is "strNetBIOSDomain = "DOMAIN"" and replace DOMAIN with your correct Domain name. Here is my HTA: <html> <head> <title>HTA Helpomatic</title> <HTA:APPLICATION ID="objHTAHelpomatic" APPLICATIONNAME="HTAHelpomatic" SCROLL="yes" SINGLEINSTANCE="yes" WINDOWSTATE="normal" > </head> <SCRIPT Language="VBScript"> Sub RunScript strGroup = group.value strGroupText = group.value strUser = user.value Const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3 Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3 Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1 Dim objTrans, objShell, objGroup Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") strNetBIOSDomain = "DOMAIN" Set objTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate") objTrans.Init ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, "" objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strNetBIOSDomain & "\" & strUser strUserDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779) objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strNetBIOSDomain & "\" & strGroup strGroupDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779) 'msgbox struserdn 'MsgBox strGroupDN 'MsgBox """" & "LDAP://" & strGroupDN & """" 'strGroupDN = """" & "LDAP://" & strGroupDN & """" strGroupDN = "LDAP://" & strGroupDN 'MsgBox strGroupDN Set objGroup = GetObject(strGroupDN) objGroup.GetInfo arrMemberOf = objGroup.GetEx("member") StrCompare = struserdn For Each strMember in arrMemberOf intCompare = StrComp(StrCompare, strMember, vbTextCompare) If intCompare = 0 Then MsgBox "User is a member of the " & strGroupText & " group",,"Group Information" Exit For End if Next If intCompare <> 0 Then MsgBox "User is not a member of the " & strGroupText & " group",,"Group Information" End If End sub </SCRIPT> <body> <font color="red"> <face ="Times New Roman"> <H1 align="center"font color="red"> Is User Member of Group </H1> <font color="blue" face="Times New Roman" size="4">User <input type="text" name="User" size="25"> <font color="blue" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Group <input type="text" name="Group" size="25"> <br> <br> <input id=runbutton class="button" type="button" value="Get Info" name="run_button" onClick="RunScript"> </body> </html> Many thanks for any assistance, Ben Tag: Different scripts at logon Tag: 200194

    - 2D VBScript Array from a String w/ Record and Field Delimiters I've been struggling with generating a 2D array from a string. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the process or point me in the right direction... The string in question looks something like this: 1[/field]Penguins[/field][/record]2[/field]Skuas[/field][/record]5[/field]Eagles, Golden[/field][/record] I know this is a rather odd string, but suffice it to say its generated to represent a series of records which cannot be retrieved via typical ASP/ADO recordset fashion. The environment is classic ASP using VBScript. I can readily break this up into a 1D array using split(str,"[/record]"). But this yields only the 3 combined sets: 1[/field]Penguins[/field] 2[/field]Skuas[/field] 5[/field]Eagles, Golden[/field] What I'm looking for is a way to make this a 2D array such that: aryBirds(0,0) = 1 aryBirds(0,1) = Penguins aryBirds(1,0) = 2 aryBirds(1,1) = Skuas aryBirds(2,0) = 5 aryBirds(2,1) = Eagles, Golden Unfortunately my searching thusfar hasn't hit on what looping is required to get this 2D result. So far I've tried things like For i = 0 to Ubound(aryCombinedSets)-1 aryNewSets = split(aryCombinedSets(i),"[/field]") For j=0 to Ubound(aryNewSets)-1 aryBirds(i,j) = (aryNewSets(j), j) Next Next But these only generate the last 2 values of the array. That is only the 5 and Eagles, Golden values are retrievable. I have several similar strings. In each case I know how many fields exist, but the number of records varies. In each case I need to make a 2D array so that values can be individually manipulated. Any assistance or pointers in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks!

    - ASP: using Chr to display big 5 character I am using windows 2003 server english version. I got the folloing message when I put a big5 code to CHR function to get a ANSI character Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0005) Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Chr' I found that i cannot pass a number greater than 255 to the function. The code works before in windows 2000 server traditional chinese version. Is there any function/code I could use to translate a 2-bytes big5 code to utf-8 code?

    - IADsComputer [adsi] interface using vbscript conundrum Can anyone please help me figure out what is missing from this Microsoft documentation? 1) Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/iadscomputer.asp I have worked through the fact that the LDAP ADSI provider does not support the IADsComputer interface; the documentation claims that "The IADsComputer interface is not implemented by the LDAP ADSI provider". However the properties "OperatingSystem" and "OperatingSystemVersion" *are* available. Why?. 2) Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/provider_support_of_adsi_interfaces.asp Now, this is a great page because it summarises the fact that in order to get the other IADsComputer methodes and properties, we need to use the WinNT provider, which is detailed at this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/adsi_objects_of_ldap.asp The documentation at this page does not clearly indicate whether the WinNT provider is connecting to the actual physical computer or Active Directory with the WinNT://<domain name>/<server> ADsPath string. Which is it? 3) Using the WinNT provider, the properties documented at this page ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/iadscomputer.asp ) are supposed to be available, but they are NOT. This has me very puzzled; I have checked the "Requirements" but find nothing missing. I have been through the docs time & time again, but something is missing! See below... Example: Set oADSystem = GetObject ("LDAP://DC001/CN=MYSVR,OU=domain_servers,dc=contoso,dc=msft") Wscript.Echo "Active Directory Attributes" Wscript.Echo "ADsPath:" & oADSystem.ADsPath Wscript.Echo "Class:" & oADSystem.Class Wscript.Echo "OperatingSystem:" & oADSystem.OperatingSystem Wscript.Echo "OperatingSystemVersion:" & oADSystem.OperatingSystemVersion Wscript.Echo Set oPhSystem = GetObject ("WinNT://contoso.msft/MYSVR,Computer") Wscript.Echo "Physical Machine Attributes" Wscript.Echo "Name:" & oPhSystem.Name Wscript.Echo "Model:" & oPhSystem.Model Result: Active Directory Attributes ADsPath:LDAP://DC001/CN=MYSVR,OU=domain_servers,dc=contoso,dc=msft Class:computer OperatingSystem:Windows Server 2003 OperatingSystemVersion:5.2 (3790) Physical Machine Attributes Name:MYSVR E:\Temp\adaudit\test.vbs(11, 1) Active Directory: The directory property cannot be found in the cache. (I have a hrd time believing the the server does not have a "Model" attribute. Same error for the other properties: MemorySize, Processor, ProcessorCount, StorageCapacity, etc.) What am I missing? Anyone? Thanks in advance --Maarten Veerman Tag: Different scripts at logon Tag: 200175

    - Using ADO DB to Manipulate Space Character Filled Strings I'm attempting to use ADO to manipulate data in fixed width text files as shown here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/f65b4a7c-eb8c-47f1-ba36-16ad8793026d.asp The issue I run into is that the fields which are all spaces or have trailing spaces end up with the spaces as null.

    - Best method to figure out if someone is using cached credentials? Hello, I'm attempting to write a script that will figure out if a user is using cached credentials. What I figured to do is find the logon server, and see if it is the hostname of the PC, or not. if so, they aren't authenticating to a DC; if not, they are using cached credentials. The only problem is this will affect local users, who are obviously authenticating to the PC itself as well. Any way to tell if a user is using cached credentials? Thanks, Matt _____________________________________________ Dim objShell, strRegKey Dim strLogonServer, strComputerName Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objEnvProcess= objShell.Environment("PROCESS") strLogonServer = Right(objEnvProcess.Item("LogonServer"), len(objEnvProcess.Item("LogonServer"))) - 2) strComputerName = objEnvProcess.Item("ComputerName") if strLogonServer = strComputerName then msgbox "logonserver is the same" Else msgbox "You have logged on locally.

    - Excel find row data in every column Hi, What I have already is a vbscript that creates and populates an Excel spreadsheet with multiple columns of data. Now what I require is to take the data from each row in the each column, and search the other columns for this data. It then needs to do the same for the second column, and the third, and so on. So if I have columns of data, the script will take data from row 1, column 1 and check to see if that data is in any other cell. It then needs to tell me which column it is in. Once all the rows from column 1 have been searched for, it then does the same for column 2, column 3, etc. Here is what I have so far: The value y has been set elsewhere and represents the number of columns. y = y - 1 i = 4 t = 1 Do Until t = y 'Set range? Do Until objExcel.Cells(i, t).Value = "" strName = objExcel.Cells(i, t).Value Set objSearch = cols.Find(strName) If objSearch Is Nothing Then Else Msgbox y MsgBox strName & " was found." End If i = i + 1 Loop t = t + 1 Loop I am having difficulty defining the range to search at the moment. Any help would be very much appreciated. Matt Tag: Different scripts at logon Tag: 200167

    - paging Richard Mueller... Richard Mueller, please come to the front desk Richard, Sorry to bother you but you have helped me in the past when no one else could. I have a seemingly simple task but am struggling and becoming frustrated. In VBScript (that will later be ported to ASP) I need to do the following: Prompt for AD username (must be SAMAccountName) Display that users current Exchange mailbox size in MB Display the size limit imposed on that users mailbox The size limit is the biggest problem. If the user is NOT using defaults, and a custom limit has been set in AD, this should be easy enough to get. But if the user IS using the default size limit for his mailbox store, I have no idea how to first figure out what policy governs his store, and then read the policy to get the imposed limit. If you have an example of this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Tag: Different scripts at logon Tag: 200160

    - write data to Excel spreadsheet? Howdy- I've built some scripts using the FileSystemObject & CreateTextFile/ReadAll/WriteLine methods that take the contents of local logfiles (vendor-produced) and write them to another text file in a UNC path using schtasks. Now, the user wants the output to be in an excel spreadsheet... I don't think changing the format to .csv is going to work; the original logfiles vary between lines with five columns of data and lines with seven or none at all...

I trying to automate a printout, and I can't set any settings on the printer for 'system', so it gets all funky. I have been searching all freaking day for a solution... is there one?

    - iTunes Script (easy)... Hey, try this script out for iTunes (must have iTunes installed). Problem: iTunes can run minimized in the systray but in order to play, pause, volume, etc. you have to maximize it (which can be slow sometimes). Solution: Write a script! Try the following. You can make custom keyboard shortcuts for these scripts also -- make a shortcut on your desktop and open properties, then make shortcut key by hitting key of preference).

    - Help Please The following has been going on for over a week, and I can't find a solution: We send an email to approx. 200 dealers. The email is generated by a VBScript on a schedule. The VBScript access' a database for various information. The email is configured to HTML format. In the email there are two hyperlinks one to a French URL and one to an English URL. [PROBLEM] When some of the recipients receive the email the hyperlink is broke. eg. http://www.test.com/test.asp?dealer=1 111 (Spaces in the URL) Or (this just happened) eg. http://www.testcom/test.asp?dealer=1 111 (The period between test and com disappeared) [WHAT I TRIED] Put the whole thing in table tags with the nowrap attribute. Tried the <nobr> tag. Tried the <pre> tag. Any insight would be very much appreciated. Tag: Different scripts at logon Tag: 200057

    - Ascii Text file to Binary and back again I have an application written in VBscript. It is proprietary, but I can add vbs subroutines to it. The file that this application generates is a 512 x 512 matrix. Each data set in the matrix is consists of a real and imaginary number(floating point). This file is passed to a matlab script which performs Fast Fourier Transforms on it and rewrites the file as text. This file must be moved across a network that is encrypted. The file is so large that it can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes to move the file. In an experiment I created a similarly formatted file but it was a byte array, the file transferred in less than 2 minutes every time. I need a hint at some vbs code that would take a file which held a 512x512 matrix in text format, convert it to binary so I can get it across the network, then on the other side convert it back into the text format.

Hi, It's easy to connect using WinNT:\\ class and add a user account and add it to the administrators group as seen below in my "create local user account code."

    - Registry Permissions & Win APIs Hello all, First of all, I'd like to apologize if this has been asked before. I searched the group several times and to my dis-belief my mail reader did not come up with results. I find this to be very suspicious. Anyway, below are my questions. I'd like to modify registry key permissions with VBS and I would like to do it by using the Win APIs. I have a key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that I want to give full rights to Administrators and System. I want to give read rights to power users and I want to revoke all other rights for all other users. I've done VB, but am new to VBS so please do not ostercize me for this noob question. I have found how to do this in VB using the RegSetKeySecurity function in advapi32.dll. However, I can't even open a key in VBS using RegOpenKey because I receive a VBScript compilation error on the declaring function saying "Expected Identifier" [code] Private Declare Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, phkResult As Long) As Long [/code] Also, in setting up some constants, I get a compilation error of "Expected Literal Constant" [code] Private Const KEY_SET_VALUE = &H2 Private Const KEY_WRITE = ((STANDARD_RIGHTS_WRITE Or KEY_SET_VALUE Or KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY) And (Not SYNCHRONIZE)) [/code] Is it possible to directly use the Windows APIs from VB Script? If it is possible, what do I need to do to make this work? If it isn't possible, then what can I do that will work on Win 2k, XP Pro, and 2003 to change the security permissions on a registry key? Thank you, Travis Tag: Different scripts at logon Tag: 199982

Yes, simple ....

There are Startup folders for each user. The folder is:
Documents and settings\UserName\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
where UserName is the name of user so if you put Script A in :
Documents and settings\User1\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Script A will run when user 1 will log in

AND if you want to run a script when any user log in then put the script in :
Documents and settings\All users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

If you have an Active Directory domain, you can assign the logon script on
the "Profile" tab of the user properties dialog in ADUC. See #5 in this
