    - set password expiration date Hi , I was looking for a way to set a password expiration to a specific date using the user's "pwdlastset" attribute. The problem is that it seems impossible to set the attribute to a value other than 0 ( which set the user to change the password at next logon ) . Does anyone know how to solve it ? thanks Stefano Tag: AD : External Account Association Tag: 215844

    - Emulate PSEXEC/RunAS with the CreateScript method? I'd like to execute a VB script on a remote system with credentials different from the one launching the script- currently, I've been using SysInternal's PSEXEC to do this, but, I would rather not call an external exe, I'd like to keep everythng within VBS. The CreateScript method looks like what I want, but I can't figure out how impersonate an account with this. Can anyone tell me how or point me in the right direction on how to do this? Thanks!

    - Initiate a cluster failover I'm trying to write a script to initiate a failure on a cluster group to another node, I want the behavior to mimic the behavior when you right-click a resource in cluster administrator, and select "initiate failure". This snippet below is using the FailResource method, but doesn't seem to initiate a failure for the cluster group, it seems to be just for testing, it looks to just fail the individual resource for a moment and that's it. Set colResourceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from MSCluster_Resource WHERE Name = 'TestResource'") For Each objResource in colResourceList objResource.FailResource Next Any ideas to initiate a true failure like you can in the GUI of Cluster Administrator? I was able to use the MoveToNewNode method of the MSCluster_ResourceGroup Class, but then if I code in the name of that node, and it's already on that node, that doesn't meet the requirements.

    - Move Active Directory infor to a completely seperate domain.... Hi all. I'm in a situation where I was brought on to help facillitate a spin-off of a company. Powers that be well above my paygrade have decided they want to just port all the same active directory info over to the new domain, however I haven't seen anyway to do that. What I'm looking for, is a vbscript to copy users, groups and the OU structure from one domain, and then import the data into a completely seperate new domain. Can anyone shed some light on where to start with my vbscript? Examples would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance! Tag: AD : External Account Association Tag: 215809

    - creating an extended string in the registry We have a script that will change the name of the My Computer icon to show the user name and computer name, however it also changes the key type from a REG_EXPAND_SZ to REG_SZ, this seems to have the effect of changing the My Computer icon name to "%Username% on %Computername%" rather than the actual names. My manager would also prefer to be able to rename the current string from LocalizedString to LocalizedString.old before creating the new object (I am not sure why) The script we have is: set objshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'On Error Resume Next Regkey = objshell.regread("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\LocalizedString") If RegKey = "@%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-9216" then Newkey = "%Username% on %Computername%" Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") key1 = "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\LocalizedString" server1 = Newkey Sh.RegWrite key1, Server1 End If How do we also make it change to ann Expanded string?

    - print multiple files when printer requires password I need to print all the files in one folder. I came up with the following vbs code: set shApp = createobject("shell.application") set shFolder = shApp.namespace("C:myfolder\") set shItems = shFolder.Items() for each shItem in shItems shItem.invokeverb "&Print" next The problem is I am printing to a network printer and for every file sent to print, a dialog box pops up, with a choice of two radio buttons ("password" or "billing id") and a text box in which to enter my password. I have to do the following 3 steps for each file: 1) hit the "tab" key (to go from the "password" radio button that is already selected") to the text box; 2) enter my password in the text box; 3) hit the "enter" key Is there a way to automatize this? Unfortunately I do not know the variables names associated with the dialog box that pops up. Thanks! Tag: AD : External Account Association Tag: 215800

    - Adjusting Master Volume Level (sndvol32)... Hello, I am trying to develop a script that will adjust the master volume control on a computer.

    - Script to automate FTP session, copy folders based on timestamp I am a little stuck. I have found, for the most part, how to create a VBS script to login to a remote FTP server. The hard part has been finding scripting that works to copy *folders* based on their timestamp (within last 15 minutes). Most of the scripting I am finding is only for copying files based on timestamp which will not really work for this situation. I am also a little unsure about how to combine these two scripts since I am assuming different FTP commands must be used while trying to copy folders from the remote FTP to a local server.

    - [code] getting your script to talk to you This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------030002010701030306040000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hi group, There have been a number of postings here showing how to use the msAgent characters to get your script to talk. You can also use Microsoft's Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI). SAPI comes as an actX object, and so is programmable using vbs. There was only one small script for sapi that I could find here, posted about two years ago (by mayayana). The demo included below shows some additional methods and properties of sapi, plus it will detect a couple of events (if all goes well). You probably have SAPI already installed, but in case you don't you may download it (for free) from microsoft (beware word-wrap): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5e86ec97-40a7-453f-b0ee-6583171b4530&DisplayLang=en That page offers a number of options. The one you need is labeled: SpeechSDK51.exe This works on all ms systems, inc win98. It will install the complete package, including the help file. The demo script will say some simple sentences, and also includes the demo (xml file) that comes with SAPI, which demonstrates what you can do by including xml tags in the text to enhance the spoken text. Note that in order to show the user interface feature (audio control), I had to make use of an api call (to get the desktop window handle). If you don't like using dynawrap to call api's then you can remove that. cheers, jw --------------030002010701030306040000 Content-Type: text/plain; name="wshSAPIText2SpeechDemo.wsf.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="wshSAPIText2SpeechDemo.wsf.txt" <?XML version="1.0" standalone="yes" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <job id="wshSAPIText2SpeechDemo"> <script language="VBScript"> <![CDATA[ ' --- description block -------------------------- ' ' Title: wsh Script to Demo Text to Speech, using SAPI v5.1 ' ' Discussion: this demo requires Microsoft's Speech Application Programming ' Interface (SAPI) v5.1 (or later?), which may be downloaded (free) ' from microsoft, in case you don't already have it...

The pronunciation tag may be used to force the correct pronunciation of the word, <PRON SYM="eh 1 k s - t r ax 2 - k ae 1 l - ih 2 - f r ae 1 - jh ax 2 - l ih 1 - s t ih 2 k - eh 1 k s - p iy 2 - ae 1 l - ih 2 - d ow 1 - sh ax 2 s"/>. Wow, now tell me, doesn't that sound better? Now let's insert a bookmark here<BOOKMARK MARK="8"/>. Your application should have received a bookmark event with a bookmark id of 8 when speech synthesis has passed this element in the input stream. Bookmark event is an easy way for an application to take action at a given point in the stream. </SAPI> Thanks for participating in this tutorial. I hope you have a better understanding of the basic functionality of XML tag usage within the TTS Engine. Enjoy! </xml> ]]> </resource> </job> --------------030002010701030306040000-- Tag: AD : External Account Association Tag: 215775

    - REading a remote file using WMI; unable to connect to remote machine Hi, I need to poll a number of machines on the network to determine if the remote machine has any "set" files. These are plain text files that are used by MS Dynamics GP, as an ini file (structure is a little different though). I want to read the contents of the file and put it into a database so that I standardize or customize the GP environment for various users. I ping the remote machine before I query it using WMI. Some machines respond, but I am not able to connect to others. I am logged in as the DomainAdmin, all target machines are part of this domain. I will post my entire code if needed. Meanwhile, the relevant snippet is pasted below. Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Read a *.txt file Hi, I want to read data from a *.txt file to write them into a SQL Server 2000 database.

    - Error 424 on RegExp Object I've had a script running happily in Classic ASP for the past 18+ months with no issues and then all of a sudden, it stops working on my local machine (XP Pro). The code in question is: dim re set re = new RegExp str = Replace(str, "+", " ") re.Pattern = "%([0-9a-fA-F]{2})" re.Global = True Response.write re.Replace(str, GetRef("URLDecodeHex")) I've tracked the error down to the line with the creation of the RegExp object (set re = new RegExp) and have the error code of #424 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error. The code works fine when it's hosted online so I know it's an issue with my PC but does anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be? Are there any DLL's I can re-register? To my knowledge, nothing has changed. No permissions, no changes to the registry, etc. Thanks in advance, Joff Tag: AD : External Account Association Tag: 215712

    - Need help with Windows Explorer Script Hello, All -- The following script was posted on some Usenet newsgroup in response to someone asking how to open two Windows Explorer windows side by side with designated folders: Dim sh Set sh = CreateObject("Shell.Application") sh.MinimizeAll sh.Explore "C:\Program Files" sh.Explore "C:\" WSH.Sleep 2000 sh.TileVertically It looked useful to me so I tried it. It works great except that both windows have double panes which makes for a very crowded screen. I would like to know how to modify this script to open two single paned windows explorer windows side by side. I have searched all over and have found nothing that would fit the bill. Please note that I am not a programmer or power user and am not at all familiar with scripting. Any help will be very greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.

    - closing a command window after running some code First a brief explanation: on some of the servers I manage, there's an executable that's supposed to be running all the time. The past few days this exe has been mysteriously stopping. Not sure why or when, so I'm trying to determine the root cause. To that end, I wrote a script that checks to see if the exe is running, and if it isn't, restarts it. I run that script as a scheduled task every 20 minutes, so at the worst, we lose 20 minutes of functionality on a given server. On the server, the executable is called from a batch file. Here's the code in the batch file: start "Assembler v2.8 Production" /D c:\delivery c:\delivery\assembler f=z:\ o=z:\done\ v=10000 l=z:\assemblepdf_%computername%.log pi=V:\normal\In po=V:\normal\Out\ cv=\\sherlock\proofsprod\current\ Now (finally!), my questions: If I run this code (the script is local on the server), I can make the executable restart: Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "cmd /K start /D c:\delivery c:\delivery\assembler f=z:\ o=z:\done\ v=10000 l=z:\assemblepdf_%computername%.log pi=V:\normal\In po=V:\normal\Out\ cv=\\sherlock\proofsprod\current\" However, after the script runs, there's an extra command window open. So there's one command window that's open with the executable running, and another command window open at whatever directory I ran the script from (C:, for example). The command window I ran the script from is the one I'd like to close if at all possible. And a related question: in comparing the code from the batch file and the code I put into my script, you might notice I omitted the string "Assembler v2.8 Production" (quotes included). If I add this to my VBScript, the code won't run. I'm guessing it's a matter of finding the right combination of quotes/doubled quotes, but so far I haven't stumbled across the correct one. Neither issue is a show-stopper, as the code does what I intended, but I wanted to ask so I could learn a bit more. Thanks. Tag: AD : External Account Association Tag: 215689

    - Converting IP Address to 9 Digit Decimal Number for msRADIUSFramed I am having to enter a static IP address for all of our VPN users, which is about 1,000. I am not a math person, but when I convert my IP address to a decimal number, it is a 10 digit number which is 1 digit to many to be added to msRADIUSFramedIPAddress attribute. I receive an error, it only takes up to 9 digits. Somehow Active Directory converts the decimal number to a 9 digit negitive number, I have no clue on how to get the 9 digit negitive number, If you already have a vbscript to convert an IP address to msRADIUSFramedIPAddress format. That would be awsome. But just even able to convert the 10 digit positive number to a 9 digit negitive number would be great! Thank you for you help!! Don My IP Address is 172.29.255.130 Converts to: 2887647106 (BUT it is 10 digits and can not be entered, even manually with ADSI Edit) Active Directory Converts the Number to a negitive value. This is where I am stuck. From ADSI Edit: msRADIUSFramedIPAddress = -1407320190 In Microsoft Forum Example Script to modify the attribute they used IP 10.2.0.210 which converts to: 167903442 (It is a 9 digit number and will work!)

My system has 39 unique titles. Some titles, like 'Application Data', and 'Desktop', are associated with namespaces of more than one number.
