    - Need Help Retriving Network Share Permissions I have been able to use scripts to retrieve everything about a network share except the groups and permissions on the share. It looks like Win32_Share at one time returned that information, but doesn't any longer. Cacls.exe returns info on all but the share itself(i.e. \\Dev1\MyShare). A cmd line utility called getACL.exe works well when it works, but is buggy and not consistent. Anybody have any idea how I can get this information?

    - WShell.Exec()... complex command line I've written a script that dumps a MySQL db to another MySQL db. The core of the script is this ---> 'Begin Code strCommand = "C:\mysql\bin\mysqldump --opt -u " & strUser & " -p""" & strPass & """ " & strSouceDB & " | C:\mysql\bin\mysql -C -u " & strUser & " -p""" & strPass & """ -h Intranet " & strDestDB Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objExec = WshShell.Exec(strCommand) 'End Code yeah... I realize the command line is ugly. Here's the ouput from stdERR: C:\mysql\bin\mysqldump: Got error: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '| READ /*!32311 LOCAL */,C:\mysql\bin\mysql READ /*!32311 LOCAL */,- C READ /*!32' at line 1 I can do this ---> "WScript.Echo strCommand" and output the command line, then paste it in a cmd window and it runs flawlessly. So the command line is being built correctly... or so I think. So my guess is that WScript.Exec( ) is dying somehow because of strCommand. I've tried the Chr(34) method instead of escaping the quotes around strPass (yes they have to be there cause the password is complex). Either method gives me the same result. Please help....

    - Removing leading characters ..... Hi, I have an Intranet page where users enter IP addresses. I have one field for each of the four octects which comprise an IP address. My problem is that I am getting many invalid entries like 165.131.01.09 instead of 165.131.1.9 ... basically I am looking for an event handler to strip any leading "0" from entries (e.g. "05" or "005" would become "5"). Initially I thought I could remove "0" with the Replace function .... however, that would not work in all cases - example: "10" is valid, where "01" is not. Function CheckData(this) ' Something I am doing to all data fields this.value = lcase(trim((this.value))) ' Remove leading zeros from IP octets If Instr(lcase(this.name), "txtipoct") Then If left(this.value,1) = "0" Then ' do something here End If End If End Function The relevant fields calling the function appear like this: <INPUT TYPE="text" name="txtIPOct1" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur=CheckData(me)><b>.</b> <INPUT TYPE="text" name="txtIPOct2" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur=CheckData(me)><b>.</b> <INPUT TYPE="text" name="txtIPOct3" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur=CheckData(me)><b>.</b> <INPUT TYPE="text" name="txtIPOct4" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur=CheckData(me)> Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

    - Remote Printing This is probably a unique scenario, but I'm going to give it a shot: I have an application that is hosting eLearning apps as well as some other training and non-training related content. I want a certificate to print to a remote printer (the printer would be different depending on which course the user has completed). Each printer is directly connected to the network and (from my understanding) is identified by IP address. (i.e. No print server). Is there a tutorial that addressess this? Is there a way to handle this with ASP/VBScript? How do I handle the printer connection when there are many different printer connections? TIA, -- Jon Trelfa There 10 kinds of people in this world...

    - Programatically initiating a vpn connection with runas I need to find a way to allow one of my users to make a vpn connection (if at all possible) without running as an administrator. She is using a smart card and a cmak connection to connect, which works fine until the remote computer checks for antivirus and internet connection firewall. At this point the connection drops with a message that she does not meet the security requirements for connecting. When she logs in as administrator it works just fine. I've done some digging and found that as a normal user, one cannot view the properties of the network connections or the icf. I've tried to find a solution in group policy or somewhere that I can grant the appropriate permission but come up with nothing. My idea now is find a way to run the vpn connection with higher credentials ala runas (perhaps to call rasdial), but this just doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me out here? Is there a way to do this in vbscript or using some other technique I have yet to discover?? thanks in advance Tag: Help determining NT4 SP6 via script Tag: 143212

    - AD search using ADO....scope problem Hi guys, have a little problem. I'm trying to write a script to automatically move disabled accounts onto the appropriate OU. The problem is, I do not want all the domain users to be included in the search. Only from a given OU downwards. So, I figured out two alternatives: - do not use a dynamic bind to the directory but use a "hard-coded" bind to the OU where the users to be searched exist. - do a normal bind to the active directory and then set the scope accordingly. So my question is: is it possible to bind to the current domain as follows: Set objADsRootDSE = GetObject("GC://RootDSE") strADsPath = "GC://" & objADsRootDSE.Get("rootDomainNamingContext") strBase = "<" & strADsPath & ">" Set objADsRootDSE = Nothing And then tell ADO to perform the search only on a given path (see strScope), ie: strObjects = "(objectCategory=person)" strFilter = "(&" & strObjects & ")" strAttributes = "distinguishedName, userAccountControl, SAMAccountName, cn" strScope = "ou=bla,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=org" I tried like this but nothing, it does not work... ?????? Alternatively, I tried the second solution, ie to do a "hard" bind to the domain: Set objADsRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://ou=bla,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=org") And use the strScope = "subtree" but the script still fails... If anybody can help me on this matter I would be very grateful! Thanks Bar Tag: Help determining NT4 SP6 via script Tag: 143172

    - automatic login and computer lock Hi, I have a problem on a machine which is running 24h a day. On the machine are running my own scripts which have to reboot the machine somtimes and restart my scripts in an active domainuser enviroment (active use of a server-database). I want to solve the problem as script in the following steps: - reboot the machine automaticly (it's no problem) - automatic login as specified domain-user - and as a security reason locking the machine with the actual domain-user (Lock_Computer) Can everybody help me or give me some tips where I can find a solution or is there anywhere a software available outside the scripting world? Thanks for everybodies help and have a nice day. AlexanderS Tag: Help determining NT4 SP6 via script Tag: 143143

    - Data Access Question Dear All I have created a calendar asp page using vbScript that loads data from a SQL database. It highlights the date I have data. Everything works well, however I have one question about the data access procedure and one about erasing the array. I load the data for the current month into an array after opening a connection with the database and then close the connection. If the user then selects the next month, another connection is opened and the values loaded into an array. Like above the connection is closed. Is this the best way to approach it when I will have hundreds of users accessing the SQL Server database at the same time? Current Month >> Opens connection >> Fills Array >> Displays results >> Closes Connection. Next Month >> Opens connection >> Fills Array >> Displays results >> Closes Connection. If I create the connection to the database and fill the array with data in the Header of the HTML page and display the contents of the array in the Body of the page, where do I erase the array, or do I even need to? Thanks again and I appreciate your help. Alastair MacFarlane Tag: Help determining NT4 SP6 via script Tag: 143142

    - Form data validation methods Greetings. This post is related to my recent post, and may better explain what I am trying to do .... hopefully :- ) Question, what is the most efficient way to validate data in a form? For instance, I know I can do something like this: Function Form1_onSubmit() If Form1.txtuser1.Value = "" Then ' do something here End If If Form1.txtuser2.Value = "" Then ' do something here End If End Function However, what if I have several like fields, e.g. txtuser1, txtuser2, txtuser3, etc. ... in that case the above approach to data validation is not very efficient. Especially when I want to run several like fields against the same validation methods (i.e. is it blank, does it or does it not contain this or that character?). To further complicate matters, what if the amount of like fields I have on my page will vary on each load because they are created "dynamically" thru ASP code? In that case, there is no way to setup the above, functional albeit inefficient, method of validating my data. In a nutshell, what I am trying to accomplish on the client-side is what I can rather easily do on the server-side: For x = 1 To Request.Form.count() strFrmKey = Request.Form.key(x) strFrmItm = Request.Form.item(x) ' Do whatever other checking I would like here Next Is there, or what is an equivalent for client-side validation? Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. Doug Tag: Help determining NT4 SP6 via script Tag: 143125

    - Iterate thru all elements in form Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to iterate thru all elements in a form for the purpose of validating data on a form. What I would like to do is something like: Set objElements = document.Form1.Elements For Each objElement in objElements If objElement.type = "text" AND objElement.name = "txtUName" Then 'Do something here End If Next The above does not seem to work. In fact the only thing that I can get to work is this: Set objElements = document.Form1.Elements For Each objElement in objElements MsgBox objElement Next The above only responds with several messages containing "[object]" ... not very useful. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, Doug Tag: Help determining NT4 SP6 via script Tag: 143124

I've tried using the MS script to install the OS Patch
with less than good results. I've worked up a script that
will work at login, but need to get NT version...Would
really like it if someone could enhance it by getting the
IP text file to work...I will share it when it's
functional!!

Thank you in advance,

Hi

You can do it with registry reads, VBScript examples in the link below
(functions GetOsVersion and GetOsVersionNumber):
