    - HELP!!!!!!!!!! I'm pulling my hair out here. I have an ASP page which causes an error when loading. The error is... *************************** Error Type: Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6) Object doesn't support this property or method /intranet/default.asp, line 66 *************************** The procedure causing the problem in the default.asp page is ****************************************** Sub GetEvents() Dim oApp, clsD, vCls, clsE Dim sEvents Set oApp = Server.CreateObject("Calendar.clsApplication") Set vCls = oApp.GetCalendarMonth(Year(Date()), Month(Date()), vbMonday) For Each clsD In vCls If clsD.TodaysDate = Date Then If clsD.DoesDayHaveEvents Then For Each clsE In clsD %> <li><a href="EventDefault.asp?app=Calendar%20Events"><%=clsE.Title%></a></li> <% Next End If End If Next 'we will always have the last link %> <li><a href="EventDefault.asp?app=Calendar%20Events">Click here to view the calendar</a></li> <% Set clsD = Nothing Set vCls = Nothing Set oApp = Nothing End Sub ****************************************** The actual error line (Line 66) is the line that says:- For Each clsD In vCls This code actually works on our intranet and another developers machine, but does not work on my system (the main development machine) when I run //localhost/intranet/default.asp.

    - xml /text-file issue Hi, I create an XML-file with a vb-script containing an AS database. This file I load in the Analysis Services dso/xml console. I create my file with VbS: Set objFSObject = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSObject.CreateTextFile("dso.xml", 8, True) This works great as long as I copy all the content of my textfile into and replace all the content of a generated file from DSO/XML convertion utility. But if I try to use my file direct with the dso/xml console nothing happens. If start "my" XML-file with IE there is an errormessage and no text shows up, but if I replace the content of a generated file it shows up in a coorect and structured way. Is there different types of xml-files ? I thought that any text-file named .xml would work. /Jerome Tag: Export/Import Registry Across Machines Tag: 171373

    - One window opened Hello all again! On the main form I have a few fields and among of them there is button which opens additional window (named "Links") where user can delete and add data. I want this user let open (from the main form) only one subform "Links". I hope you know what I mean. An example of my idea is Winamp program, which in the default version opens only once and when somebody wants to open two Winamp programs in the same time it is rather impossible or settings change is then needed. I do not even know in what language it is possible to do, maybe in javascript.

    - wscript.quit 8004005 Error I have a WSF script that we use with SMS to install software. The script calls the cmd line for an installation (setup.exe, MsiExec.exe, etc.) I am using the following line to call the install: strRunTime = oshell.run(strCMD,1,1) WScript.Quit(strRunTime) strRunTime captures the return value from the setup and passes it to wscript.quit so that SMS will know whether the install was successful. Here's the issue this code is working on literally 1000s of machines; however, there are 2 that will process the script trhough the strRunTime line and then throw the unspecified 80004005 error from source null.

    - Need to run cacls from ASP Hi I'm working on a create user script, and need to give user Full Controll of his/hers home directory. A Web Application will be doing a HTTP-request to an ASP, which then will run the create user script. I have already set myself, an admin user, in the Anonymous Access in the Directory Security for the web site. I did this cause no script would run, and interactiv logon is not an option since its a web application which will be making the request. But cacls wouldn't do anything anyway. This is how I called cacls: set obj = Server.createObject ("wScript.shell") Call obj.Run("cacls " & USER_ROOT_UNC & "\" & un & " /e /g " & un & ":F", HIDE_WINDOW, WAIT_ON_RETURN ) The ASP ran to the end, but when i checked the ACL of the directory, the user wasn't included, and the cacls command hadn't done a thing. I got a tip from a friend, and installed dynu.dll and used that exec method. Then it returned: Access Denied. rsCmd = "cacls " & USER_ROOT_UNC & "\" & un & " /e /g " & un & ":F" Set myexec = Server.Createobject("Dynu.Exec") Response.Write(myexec.execute( rsCmd )) Is there a way to authenticate an admin user, so I can remove my admin user from Anonymous Access and/or run the script?

I had it set up to do a request.form on the asp page that did the test, the if it failed and returned back to the form page (also asp) it passed querystring variables. This works except for the comment area if the person had a carraige return in that portion as the carraige return can't be sent through in a querystring variable and the comment is truncated at that point. -- Posted 'as is'.

    - running script under an alternate username (domain admin) Hello: I am working on a GP to run under the powerusers group. The script will remove the connections tab from IE. The users are only powerusers, and are not part of our active directory. However, I can authenticate from my domain (1 way trust). I have tried to create a script that will login as a domain admin, and run. It is failing, and also giving an access denied error. I have reset the actual domain password, to insure that was not the problem, it still fails. This is what I have.

    - ADSystemInfo and Windows98 Hello: We have the following vb script that works great in WindowsXP, but does not work in Windows98. We know the reason is because the ADSystemInfo is not supported on Windows98. But our question is: what would we be able to do to get AD and Group information from a Windows98 machine? Also: would it be possible to run both in the same script, or would we need to have a seperate script for the different machines? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Script ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network") strUserPath = "LDAP://" & objSysInfo.UserName Set objUser = GetObject(strUserPath) For Each strGroup in objUser.MemberOf strGroupPath = "LDAP://" & strGroup Set objGroup = GetObject(strGroupPath) strGroupName = objGroup.CN Select Case strGroupName Case "MIS" objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "T:", "\\Prod1\MIS" Case "HR" objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\Prod1\HR" Case "AP" objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\Prod1\AP" Case "AR" objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\Prod1\AR" End Select Next Tag: Export/Import Registry Across Machines Tag: 171275

    - Remote logon using specific credentials? I've already got a vbscript that will logoff all computers in our lab (they're all xp pro boxes). Now I'd like to be able to run a script that logs on to each of the computers using the same generic domain account (for exam purposes). Is this possible? What would be ideal is a single script that logs everybody off and then immediately logs them on with the generic account. Tag: Export/Import Registry Across Machines Tag: 171266

    - Validating a string using a regular expression I want to validate the value that a user enters in a textfield and ensure that it has a valid format. The required format is: - Must be 8 characters - The first 4 characters must be alphabetical (a-z) - The last 4 characters must be numerical (0-9) In the following code METHOD 1 does a suitable validation and works well, but what am I doing wrong in METHOD 2 which uses a regular expression to do the validation? ------------------------- METHOD 1: Dim strCheckValue, strCheckValue, strCheckResult, i strCheckValue = "abcd1234" strCheckValue = 0 For i = 1 To 4 If Not isNumeric(Mid(strCheckValue,i,1)) Then strCheckValue = strCheckValue + 1 End If Next For i = 5 to 8 If isNumeric(Mid(strCheckValue,i,1)) Then strCheckValue = strCheckValue + 1 End If Next If strCheckValue = 8 Then strCheckResult = "valid" Else strCheckResult = "invalid" End If Response.Write("The value is " & strCheckResult) ------------------------- METHOD 2: Dim strCheckValue, VerifyValue strCheckValue = "abcd1234" Set VerifyValue = New RegExp 'VerifyValue.Pattern = "\[a-z]{4}\[0-9]{4}" VerifyValue.Pattern = "\[a-z]{4}\d{4}" VerifyValue.IgnoreCase = True If VerifyValue.Test(strCheckValue) = False Then Response.Write("INVALID.")

    - Scripting the *.reg file execution Hi to All, I need to change the Registry setting with administrative rights on "normal user workstations". I expected runas is the right choice, but the script that I intend to encrypt to hide the admin password does not work. There may be some missing agreement with the reg file execution as it is in manual execution. ere is the copy of script slightly adapted from Serdar Yegulalp set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "runas /user:nt\MSvsSUN ""j:\Java\Off.reg""" WScript.Sleep 200 WshShell.Sendkeys "heslo~" Off.reg is exported file from Registry.

    - Need help with a create domain user script Hi I am a beginner in VBS scripting and need some help with a create user script I am making. This is the scenario. We are making a Web application, where a Customer might register, and when it is time for the Customer to be activated the WebApp is doing a HTTP request to a server running IIS and a ASP will run the script. The script will then create the user, set the user information and then create home directory and give the user full control of the home directory. My first problem was that the ASP couldn not connect to the Active Directory. That problem we fixed when the website is impersonating me as anonymous IIS user. The creating of the script went fine until it was time to give user full controll of the home directory. The cacls command does not do anything. The ASP will run and report no failures, but I can not witness any change in the ACL of the home directory. I got a tip from a frieng and installed dynu.dll, so I could send any error message when executing the cacls command. And it sent back: Access is denied. I am running the same script from cmd, and there it runs without problem, so I think its the ASP which do not have enough permissions to change ACL. I do not think RunAs is an option, cause, since its the WebApp which will be making the request, interactivity is not really an option. Do anyone have some ideas?

    - Stop Execution of a script Hello, I'm using vbscript to make a windows script. It should take 4 arguments, so I have a method that checks to see if there is 4 arguments. If not, it shows a usage message box, but now, it keeps going trying to execute until it crashes. How can I tell it to stop executing the script after the usage box is displayed? If there isn't enough args, then it really shouldn't keep trying to finish. I rather have it stop completely and then let the user enter a new command. Thanks, Brett Tag: Export/Import Registry Across Machines Tag: 171207

Hello --

I have 5 serves at work that I need to duplicate registry setting on an
ongoing basis. Essentially, server 1 will be my master server where my
application makes all its changes. I would then like to run a script from
server1 that exports the registry and automatically connects and imports the
registry on server2, 3, 4, and 5.

How can I connect to remote servers from a different server via registry and
using .RegRead and .RegWrite from WSH or VB6?

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Hi

Look into using WMI and it's StdRegProv class (COM interface, can be
used from a VBScript):
