    - granting ntfs permissions via vbscript Hi all, I am trying to - via setup - set some ntfs permissions to IUSR on a folder that resides on the target computer. I have a web application written in VB.NET. One of the features of this web app is file upload. So, I need to grant write access to the internet anonymous user on a folder that is created by de setup app. And this folder will be used by the web app to host the uploaded files. The .NET Web Setup Project offers a way to do this: via custom actions, that are no more, no less than vbscripts executions on target computer. Ok, that is the cenario, but my problem is to create this damn vbscript, responsible on grant the correct permissions to the IUSR account. Anyone has a clue on how do I accomplish this goal? tks Renato -- ----------------------------------------------------- Renato Aloi Analista Programador J&W Informática Ltda.

    - Advanced string parsing I've written a script that reports the distinguished name in Active Directory of the argument to the script. For instance: ============== C:\> findou.vbs "Trimboli, David" CN=Trimboli\, David,OU=Users,OU=Information Technology,OU=Administration,DC=cshl ,DC=edu ============== It works perfectly. Now I want to find a way to turn the above information into the following format: cshl.edu\Administration\Information Technology\Users\Trimboli, David I want to avoid writing a temporary file if possible. I cannot predict ahead of time what the OU structure of the queried object will be (that's the whole point). The returned data is stored in a variable. Does anybody have any advice on how I can transform the returned string into what I want? David Stardate 4158.1 Tag: Find Group in AD and report distinguished name Tag: 153855

    - createobject fails?? Hi, I have a problem that an ActiveX exe class library that I created in VB6 will work properly when 'createobject' is used within VBA or VB, but fails when used from VBScript (e.g. - run from WSH or an application using the Microsoft scripting engine). I *think* this may be a permissions problem but have not been able to find a clear description of how one sets activex permissions. In the script, I'm getting error 424 "object required". Strangely, another activex exe that I had written previously works fine, even though I can see no difference in the way I set up the project...!!

    - Can I do client side populations from my ASP Page? I have done alot of ASP pages with VBScript which is all server side. I have done a few VBS files that runs locally and works with web forms. I would like to have a ASP webpage with a form for the user to enter data. I would like to include some client side stuff such as: When the user keys in the first value in a row the value is copied to the other fields in the row. And when a user clicks on certain values in an option box it would enable/disable or visible/hide additional fields. And finally make sure all visible fields are populated before the data is set back to the server. Any good examples of how to do this? *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

    - Limitation on fso size function I've written a script to get the sizes of the various data shares on our servers. The relevant part of the code is like so: computerName = WSHShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%COMPUTERNAME%") f = "\\"&computerName&"\home" dirsize = objFSO.GetFolder(f).Size strf = f & " " & dirsize & " bytes" outFile.WriteLine strf And the same for the other shares we use. When I run this on each server, it works fine except on some of the large servers, where the shares are quite large (> 200Gb, some getting up to half a terabyte). On these servers, the dirsize variable comes back empty from the call to Size, but as it doesn't return immediately but runs for some considerable time before failing, it would seem to be failing somewhere inside the recursion through the directory structure. I guess the two possibilities are either that the function can't cope with a dir structure over a certain size or with an overly long pathlength somewhere in the directory structure. The largest dir for which I have got a valid result back from Size is 207442015120 bytes. As this is actually slightly larger than some of the shares for which the function fails (I got the size of those shares from the right-click dir properties in Windows Explorer), I suspect that the problem is with pathlengths > 256 chars long. Any suggestions on how to get a script to return the size of these dir structures? I'm running the script on Win2000 SP4 servers. Nick Tag: Find Group in AD and report distinguished name Tag: 153832

    - ARITHABORT when trying to run UPDATE query from vbscript? Hi All, I have a simple update query that I'm trying to run in VBScript against an SQL SERVER 2000 database table. The query runs without problems when I run it in SQL Analyzer, however, when I try to run the same query in VBScript, I get the following error message: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]UPDATE failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. I think the problem is caused because I have an indexed computed column in this table that concatenates several other columns from the table, and the update query is updating a column that included in the computed column's concatenation. However, I'm confused that this would run in SQL Analyzer, and not in VBScript. I was expecting that it would either run in both, or neither.

    - Login script question I was curious if there is a way that I can some how create a login script that will map drives acording to the local server? We are a bank that has what we call floaters. Theses are employees that may work in Branch A today and then Branch B the next day. I would like to be able to create a login script that will map out the drives that this user needs according to the branch they are at today. All of the branches are the same as far as a directory structure is concerned. For example: Today at Branch A they login into a local computer and the login script maps the F: drive to \\Br-A\Data. The next day while at Branch B they login to a local computer and the login script maps the F: drive to \\Br-B\Data. I posted this in another group and they suggested I post it here. I this is the wrong place, please re-direct me. I also have no experience in scripting, we are migrating from Novell to MS, and I was curious if there are any good references for this? Thanks.

    - Change Primary Monitor I am having a problem where I need to change what display (I have two) is set as primary when certain programs are executed, and reset it when they close. Is there a way to do this with VBS/WSH, or some simple program I could write in VB.NET? I know there must be a way; but I am still a beginner and haven't found it. Any help would be aprreciated. -- Thomas E Lackey Tag: Find Group in AD and report distinguished name Tag: 153732

    - Reading a CSV file with commas in the address field. Hi I thought I found what I was looking for with the split function, but then realized my data was not coming up correctly because there are commas in the address line. How, or what else can I use in order to correctly read my csv file. My csv file looks something like this "John","Doe","223 Smith Street Washington, DC" As you can see the split was splitting the address up between Washington and DC Can someone point me in the right direction Thanks Tag: Find Group in AD and report distinguished name Tag: 153727

    - COM add-in for Outlook Hi, I am building a COM add-in for Outlook to check the subject and body of e-mails as they arrive for certain values. I am currently using another COM add-in to navigate users to "Outlook Today" when they launch Outlook. The code looks like the following: *************************** Dim objOL As Outlook.Application Private Sub AddinInstance_OnConnection(ByVal Application As Object, ByVal ConnectMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_ConnectMode, ByVal AddInInst As Object, custom() As Variant) If Not Application Is Nothing Then Set objOL = Application Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder Set objFolder = objOL.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Parent If Not objFolder Is Nothing Then If objOL.Explorers.Count > 0 Then Set objOL.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = objFolder End If End If Set objOL = Nothing End If End Sub ************************** the code executes when users launch outlook. I need to have a method called when users send and receive e-mails. Please advise. Rafael Tag: Find Group in AD and report distinguished name Tag: 153711

    - Non Greedy Regular Expression in Scripting Engine 5.1 Hi. I really need help with a regular expression in ASP. I need a regex pattern that will grab a select or textarea tag in an HTML file. If I run the pattern I should get <select name="whatever"> <option value="a" selected>A</option> <option value="b">B</option> <option value="c">C</option> </select> Or <textarea name="whatever">Here is some text area text</textarea> I know the following pattern works: <(select|textarea).*(.|\n)*?</(select|textarea)> But the problem is my web hosting company is using ASP scripting engine 5.1 which does not support the non greedy delimiter (?). I doubt they are going to upgrade to 5.5 anytime soon. I'll appreciate it if anyone can give me a pattern that does the same job but does not use the ? delimiter. Is there a way I can tweak the pattern above so that it works in ASP scripting engine 5.1? Thanks in advance. Tag: Find Group in AD and report distinguished name Tag: 153709

    - code puzzle (help please) The following code bombs after the Name pop-up box. Without the parrens around "Name" it bombs before that line. If I change oMyObj.get ("Class") to oMyObj.Class it works fine, of course. When I say "bomb" I mean that debugger opens with no code and rebooting doesn't help.
