    - Script to Zip Files I hope I am posting this to the correct group. If not, please let me know. I inherited a VBS program that executes WinZip to compress files. Based on what has been done in the past, this was run manually each time by simply clicking on the file. I have run it successfully many times since I took over the task. I am attempting to automate this by adding this to Scheduled Tasks. Now, the program fails. As near as I can tell, the failure occurs at the point that the WinZip command is to be executed. The line I believe is failing is: WshShell.Run ZipCommand, 1, True The ZipCommand contains the actual WinZip command to be executed such as: c:\winzip100\wzzip "d:\tstar\ADM CY2006.zip" @"d:\tstar\ZIPLIST_ADM.txt" I have two questions: 1) Can someone offer some insight as to why this would fail when executed from Scheduled Tasks, but work fine manually? Or is there a better approach to get this done? 2) I have been searching for information on the last two parameters of the Run command ("1" and "True") but cannot find anything. Can someone tell me what they are used for and the valid entries for each? I have limited experience with scripts so please be patient. Thanks. Tag: Executing VBScript Winnt machines Tag: 206066

    - Unzipping compressed files I receive information via compressed files that I place in appropriate folders to be unzipped and processed later. My VB program does much of the processing for me once the files are manually unzipped one by one, but I could use a bit of VB code that would unzip and then delete these original compressed files.

    - calling helper applications? Hi, I'm a bit vexed by one of the limitations of VBscript. I have to write byte arrays to a data source, and there doesn't appear to be any way at all to do it. I can read them just fine, but have had no luck modifying and storing them back. I can do this just fine with VB6 but my shell app is in script. If I compile a little exe in VB6 to do this for me, is it possible to call it from a Script? I'm guessing not but I'm crossing my fingers here.

    - Check all files in all subfolders and obtain newest file Hello all. What I'm trying to do is the following: 1. Get a list of all files in all subfolders from a starting point (D:\Test). 2. Get the newest file from this list. 3. Indicate whether this newest file is more than 90 minutes old.

Or, maybe there's a completely different and better method that can be used. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Dave Tag: Executing VBScript Winnt machines Tag: 206004

    - Why did a subroutine fix my problem? I posted a few days ago about an 800A0046 permissions issue I was seeing only on a specific server as a specific type of user in regards to a CreateObject fuction. I saw an example of someone else's FSO script that used a subroutine to call their createobjects so I thought I would try it, and it worked! but I don't know why. Here is the script that bombs with a permissions denied for CreateObject on line 2 (only for local admins and domain users; for domain admins it runs fine): Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") MsgBox "Hello World" Set fso = nothing Here is the script that runs fine for all users: Dim fso sub blabla Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") end sub MsgBox "Hello World" Set fso = nothing Any idea why the subroutine fixed the issue?

I've recently created an installer for this to help make the process a little easier (since some functions require the use of an exe) which nicely places all the needed files into a set location. What I'd really like to do though is this: The script itself has several variables that must be defined (such as the servers in the array and the username/password it logs onto each server with e.t.c.). I'd like to make it so that after the installer finishes it runs another script (which I can setup in the installer no problem, its the script I need help with). I'd like it so that this secod script bring up prompt boxes (or whatever you want to call them) where you can then enter in the information needed for each variable, so you'd be prompted to enter in the servers in the array, the username to be used e.t.c. The idea being that you'd have no actually need to go into the script itself uness you encountered a problem. How would I go about doing this? Can it be done through a script or do I need to do this some other way? Any advice/help would be much appreciated :-) Thanks, Sam -- _______________________________ Sam Richardson Technical Support Administrator Central Business Services ________________________________ Tag: Executing VBScript Winnt machines Tag: 205989

    - Search for Files by creation date Hey guys, I'm new to vbs. (Don't they all say that?) I'm trying to automate a task at work using vbs. Basically, I need a count of files from a folder AND sub-folders for all .pdf files created today. The path is Z:\C89\ and it remains constant and the file names are formatted as such: xxxx20070518.pdf, where the current date + 5 days is embedded into the file name. (I can't get the wildcard to work-that's why I thought I'd mention it.) Next, I'd like for the script to send me the results in an email. e.g. "The C89 folder has 50 pdf files" We use Windows Exchange on XP/2003 here. I've tried to piece together code from different sites, but I always end up with some error. I don't mind cracking open a book and learning vbs from scratch-which I intend to do, but I'm up against a deadline. Regards~ Tag: Executing VBScript Winnt machines Tag: 205985

    - Script to change password for Local Admin account question Ok...as my education continues into the world of scripting (still a infant here), I have some questions. I need to reset the password of all the local domain accounts on our servers. I thought a script + GPO would be a handy method. Since I am pretty new at scripting, I decided to google for some suggestions and came up with a few interesting things and wanted to ask some questions here. First, I found this one from 'The Scripting guy': Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Finance, DC=fabrikam, DC=com") objOU.Filter = Array("Computer") For Each objItem in objOU strComputer = objItem.CN Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/ Administrator") objUser.SetPassword("i5A2sj*!") Next You change the OU and Domain as you suggested. Which brings a quick question. Suppose your OU has spaces. Something like: Server bin Does that change how you set it up in the script? Do you need to quote it within the quotes? That script seems fairly straightforward. Then I found this one: '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Initialization - Declare variables '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim fsoIn, fsoOut Dim inFile, outFile Dim arrComputerNames Dim objUser Dim strComputer Dim newPassword Dim ErrorOccurred Const ForReading = 1 Const ForWriting = 2 Const ForAppending = 8 Const inFilename = "servers.txt" Const outFilename = "ChangePwdServers.log" '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Main script '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Error Resume Next ErrorOccurred = False ' Insert WARNING here... Msgbox ("WARNING: This script will change the local administrator password for every " & _ "computer listed in SERVERS.TXT. If any services are running with the local " & _ "administrator credentials, those services must be updated, or they won't " & _ "start on the next boot. For this script to work, you must have administrative " & _ "privileges on all of the remote computers you are changing the password for.") ' Get new password newPassword = Inputbox ("Please enter the new password.") ' Open the input file and skip the header line Set fsoIn = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject") Set inFile = fsoIn.OpenTextFile(inFilename, ForReading, True) inFile.Skipline ' Open the log file (append mode) and timestamp the entry Set fsoOut = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject") Set outFile = fsoOut.OpenTextFile(outFilename, ForAppending, True) outFile.writeline (Now & vbTab & "Starting script...") While Not inFile.AtEndOfStream arrComputerNames = Split(inFile.Readline, vbTab, -1, 1) ' arrComputerNames(0) contains the computer name strComputer = arrComputerNames(0) ' Connect to the computer\administrator account Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrator, user") If Err.Number <> 0 Then outFile.writeline Now & vbTab & "Error connecting to " & strComputer & " --- " & Err.Description Err.Clear ErrorOccurred = True Else ' Set the password for the account objUser.SetPassword newPassword objUser.SetInfo If Err.Number <> 0 Then outFile.writeline Now & vbTab & "Error setting password for " & strComputer & _ "\Administrator" & " --- " & Err.Description Err.Clear ErrorOccurred = True Else outFile.writeline (Now & vbTab & "Password set for " & strComputer & "\Administrator") End If End If Wend ' Clean up the environment outFile.writeline (Now & vbTab & "Ending script...") inFile.close outFile.close If ErrorOccurred Then msgbox "Script completed with errors. Please check the log file." Else MsgBox "Script completed successfully." End If Ok...not only is it VERY complex for me, but why the huge need for code for something like this? You look at the first one and it seems straightforward and easy. The second, looks like a lot of extra, possibly unnecessary work. I thought i'd start here.

    - cant make vbscript/outlook work hi everyone. VERY annoying problem. i have a script that has to run every 5 minutes and check the contents of an exchange inbox. the script cannot run on the exchange server so as far as i know i MUST have outlook installed on the computer that runs the script. (if this isnt true PLEASE tell me how to do this without outlook) so we installed outlook and created a profile for the mailbox in question. the script works fine... but ONLY if we stay logged in. im assuming its because the logged in user sees only the outlook profiles that THEY created. so when no one is logged in, it doesnt work. can someone please explain how i can do this? i either have to do it without outlook, or with outlook in such a way that when no one is logged on the script can still access the profile. and no... i cant leave the server logged on and locked :( Tag: Executing VBScript Winnt machines Tag: 205891

    - vbscript and domain credentials Using vbscript, is there a way to ask for username and password, and then run the rest of the task based on those credentials? What I'm doing exactly is this: I've created a script to allow me to add domain users to the local admin group on a remote machine or lab of machines. Unfortunately, in order to run it and have it run properly on the remote machine, it must be run by someone who already has their domain account in the machine's local admin group. What I'd like to do is have it ask me for the machine's local admin acct and password, then, using those credentials, add the new domain accounts to the local admin group. Any ideas?

I've searched the net and basically found that the the vbscript.dll is included with that operating system, but is not registered. It seemed from the various posts that simply registering the .dll solved the problem. Is there a reason this .dll is included and not registered or was this just an oversight by Microsoft? If an oversight, are there plans to remedy this by registering it in the future or including registration of it in a hotfix or service pack?
