    - Using Task Scheduler via VBscript Programming the Task Scheduler at http://www.15seconds.com/issue/980513.htm shows how to control the windows task scheduler via vbscript. This sample relies on TaskScheduler.dll (a download from microsoft). The download says its compatable with win2000 only. Does anyone know if this is also compatible with XP? -- JL Tag: Help with vbs and html Tag: 175392

    - Using CDO to get mailbox sizes To all: I am using CDO to programatically obtain mailbox sizes for Exchange 5.5 mailboxes, following the "Extended MAPI" method described in Microsoft KB article http://support.microsoft.com/?id=320071. There is a subset of these mailboxes that do not have an oInfoStore.Name beginning with "Mailbox - " but instead have one named "Private Folders". The script fails when trying to use the technique to obtain its size. The code fails at the iSize = ... line. The code I'm using is: For Each oInfoStore In oInfoStores 'WScript.Echo oInfoStore.Name If ((InStr(1, oInfoStore.Name, "Mailbox - ", 1) <> 0) Or _ (InStr(1, oInfoStore.Name, "Private Folders", 1) <> 0)) Then On Error Resume Next iSize = oInfoStore.Fields(&HE080003) / 1024 If (Err.Number <> 0) Then WScript.Echo "Error " & CStr(Err.Number) WScript.Echo Err.Description iSize = -1 ElseIf (iSize >= 0) Then iSize = CLng(iSize) 'Convert to KB. Else 'If size is less than zero, then it's probably over 2GB, so add 4GB to it. 'This assumes that the size isn't over 4GB, in which case the result will be wrong. iSize = CLng(iSize) + 4194304 End If Err.Clear iNumMessages = oInfoStore.Fields(&H36020003) If (Err.Number <> 0) Then iNumMessages = -1 End If Err.Clear On Error GoTo 0 Exit For End If Next Have any of you seen this problem and, if so, can you explain it to me and offer a workaround?

    - Parsing Irregualar delimitted Strings Hey guys, I was wondering what the best possible way it would be to parse a string that is delimitted irregularly. Basically, I'm going to parse a log file that will contain a nodename, but the naming convention for the server varies...ie: CLIN - DATACOM1 FOCUS - TESTSVR1 FCGSVR2 As you can see, some of the nodes are delimitted by a "-" and some are not... The purpose of parsing this string will be to extract the client name from the server. I'm needing to parse the client name from the server and see if it matches in an array and have it output to a specific queue. As an example, FCGSVR2 ** FCG would be the client in this instance CLIN - DATACOM1 ** CLIN would be the client here Is this possible at all? Fast replies would greatly be appreciated... project deadline is near..and i'm stumped! This is what I have so far: myarray = Split("BRMC - RME-A ") Dim ClientArray (5) ClientArray(0) = "AHA" ClientArray(1) = "AVH" ClientArray(2) = "BRMC" ClientArray(3) = "CCS" ClientArray(4) = "FCG" ClientArray(5) = "FCGCORP" i=2 myfilterarray = Filter(myarray, ClientArray(i), True) msgbox Join(myfilterarray) --- How would I make it loop through the Array until myfilterarray returns a value that is true?

    - WSH no longer works from ASP I migrated a web server from IIS 4 to IIS 6. The Windows Scripting Object, which I was using to copy a file, no longer seems to work. The script is as follows. It is embedded in an ASP page, which now returns "The page cannot be displayed" when it hits the WshShell.Run line. The code in question is as follows: 'Create a file handling object: Set FileSys = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") FileName = FileSys.GetTempName 'Create a Windows Scripting Host Object - Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Run this batch file with the WSH object - ret=WshShell.Run("F:\phonedbapps\NewPic.bat " & strPictureID & " " & FileName, 1, true) The batch routine NewPic.bat is run from an IIS directory with execute permissions: copy D:\tempwork\tempwork.jpg D:\pictures\%1.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------ I also experimented with using the File System Object from ASP, but it also returns "The page cannot be displayed" when it hits the line containing ScriptObject.MoveFile.

    - Command execution in VBScript Hi, I wrote the following script to image a machine over network. Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set WshSysEnv=WshShell.Environment("SYSTEM") Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell") ImagePath=WshSysEnv("ImagePath") WScript.Echo "Done" sCommand="X:\GHOST80\GHOST32 -clone,mode=restore,src=" & ImagePath & ",dst=1 -sure -FX" oShell.run sCommand oShell.run "X:\Scripts\PostImage\PostImage.bat" Now, when I run this script, GHOST32 imaging starts and immediately after that PostImage.BAT also starts which is not expected. I understand this behavior because I haven't told my script to wait till the previous command finishes. GHOST32 returns true value to my script and it then start executing PostImage.BAT Is there anyway I make the script to wait till GHOST imaging process is complete and then execute PostImage.BAT command.

    - Calling a file for VBscript in a bat file I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but the people I need to hand this off to eventually are not that technical and the batch file will make it easy for them. I could probably do four code sections in theh vbscript as well... I get an excel file from the HR system for new users and before we create them we search for duplicate IDs, account names etc. I have 4 individual vb scripts that perform the individual searches, but you have to specify the file name when you run them. I would like to call each in succession from a batch file but pass the file name only once so each line in the batch file will use the same file. This is how I run from command prompt: cscript UML_SearchScript_EID_DoesExist.VBS C:\userfilehere.xls This is the batch file: Rem UserExistsCheck.bat cscript UML_SearchScript_EID_DoesExist.VBS cscript UML_SearchScript_SAM_DoesExist.VBS cscript UML_SearchScript_SID_DoesExist.VBS cscript UML_SearchScript_UPN_DoesExist.VBS The batch file works fine but asks me for the file at each line... I would like to feed it the file and walk away, then come back to 4 text file outputs as these sometimes take a while to process, there are a lot of users to search through. Any ideas? -- Sean M.

    - Problem passing dictionary as argument OK, wrote a DTS package that has multiple ActiveX steps. In an early step I create and populate a dictionary object, create a new global variable on the fly and set its value to the dict, and then fetch the value from the global in later steps and use the values. It all worked fine until ... That is, it worked fine when the package was run directly under my login. When I set it to run as a job under our local sql.admin account, it failed. Huh? If I log into the system as sql.admin and run the package locally, still OK. Only when run as a job and under sql.admin does it fail (I have not tried running it as a job under another login, that isn't really an option). When I do a "set dict = DTSGlobalVariables("mydict").value", it gets *something*, if passes a "is nothing" test, but I get an error as soon as I try to reference so much as the count. Well, right now I'm busy rewriting the code around this glitch, but of course I'd rather understand it and fix it. Any help? It doesn't seem to be the problem in q298725, because a ton of other objects are still created and operate correctly. Thanks. Josh Tag: Help with vbs and html Tag: 175260

    - Can you end a process from vb script? We use a scheduler (Control-M) to runs some VB scripts to automate some tasks in a 3rd-pary application QRM. There is a bug in QRM that when you run it via scripts, it doesn't end the process, so after the script completes, you still see qrm.exe in the process in task manager. We are currently running this on a Windows 2000 server, and it's not a problem, because Control-M reuses the same process every time, so there is always just the one process hanging around. We are moving to a Windows 2003 server, and in testing we've found that Control-M is creating a new process every time. So we end up with 20 qrm.exe process and we have to manually delete them. In evaluating our options, it looks like the easiest thing to do is to write a simple script or app that will kill the processes, and automate that to run every day. So, is there a way in VB script to end a process with a specific name being run by a specific user? Thanks, Dennis Tag: Help with vbs and html Tag: 175248

    - Allow user to run application as a power user Hello, I have an application that I am distributing with SMS. The problem that I am having is that the application, now on the target machine, requires power user or admin privledges to run. I can run the application via sms in the system context, but that will not help, since the app configures the user's environment. So unless someone knows of an easier solution, I need to run a script, in the system context that makes the current logged on user a member of the local power users group, if they are not already a member of that group or the admins group and then run the application under the user's context. Finally, after the application is complete, the script, under the system context again, would then revert the user back to his former permission level, i.e., return user to former group memberships. I don't think that this can be done with one script, because of the context issues. But, since I am using SMS, I can use three different scripts and chain them together. 1. Promote the current logged in user to a member of the local power users group, if needed. 2. Run the application under the user's context. 3. Demote the current logged in user back to his original group memberships. Since we don't normally allow membership in the power users group, I guess it would be ok to specifically remove the user from the power users, but if, in the future, we did allow permanent power users, this approach could cause problems. Another concern is security. I realize that during the period between the first and third scripts that the user could exploit the elevated privledges. Worse yet, they could kill the process before the third script can run, which would leave them in the elevated state. Unfortunately, I am really just learning to script, so the details are currently beyond me. I am not sure if these scripts should be in VB or not. If anyone could offer suggestions or point me in the right direction, I would be grateful. Thanks, Ed Tag: Help with vbs and html Tag: 175247
