    - Is it possible to get the name of a variable? For error trapping on an asp page, I'd like to print out the name of a variable if I find it to be null, a zerolength string, etc... for example: aBadString = "a" aBadString = "" If CheckForZeroLengthString(aBadString) then Response.write("The variable with a zero-length string is: " & aBadString.name) you can't do aBadString.name, so how do you get a variable's name?

    - Number of unread e-mails displayed by login script - Exchange 2003 We are running Win 2k and Win XP workstations in an SBS 2003 environment. A VBScript login script maps network drives and displays a dialog with current time. I'd also like have that dialogue box show the user how many unread e-mails are in his/her Exchange 2003 inbox. Displaying information about number of unresolved tasks and or appointments for the day would be nice also but not needed. I'm not a super script wiz but can piece together bits that I come across. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Shawn Witt Tag: Listing Windows Components from script Tag: 161683

    - ADO Error catching Hi All, I currently am using the following in an attempt to catch and display custom errors (VBScript/Classic ASP): Private Sub PublishError (number, section, message) On Error Goto 0 Call Err.Raise(number, section, message) Err.Clear End Sub I then call it something like: If Not IsObject(i_objConnection) Then PublishError 1, "Database Connection", "Connection object not initialised" This works well for me until I try to catch a connection error as below: On Error Resume Next i_objConnection.Open strConn If Err.Number <> 0 Then PublishError 2, "Database Connection", "A connection to the database could not be made, check strConn" End if The strange thing is that if I Response.Write Err.Source and Err.Description directly after calling PublishError I get the raised error properties. I would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes on this, any help appreciated. Colin Tag: Listing Windows Components from script Tag: 161681

    - need a solution to a common problem brief overview of situation: programs on removable disk (zip) that use ini files to store configuration, which includes where to look for other configuration information. the problem: public computer labs have different drive letters for the removable disk drive, so I have to reconfigure the software every time I use a computer with a different letter for the drive. solution (the part I'm hoping somebody here can help me with): write a script that detects what drive letter the disk is at, and then replaces all the file paths in the ini files with the corrected drive letter (i.e. search for d:\ replace with 'driveletter':\ The only part of the file path that ever changes (both to the ini file, and IN the ini file) is the drive letter. I've found bits and pieces of what I'd need to do this, except how to do a search and replace on multiple files in multiple locations. here's the basic concept I've got so far: OldLetter="d" DriveLetter = 'driveletter of disk' !--look by volume serial, disk name, or disk properties open DriveLetter:\filepath1 for editing find OldLetter":\" replace with DriveLetter":\" close DriveLetter:\filepath1 open DriveLetter:\filepath2 for editing find OldLetter":\" replace with DriveLetter":\" ....

    - Active Directory OU Help Hey there. So I'm trying to write a script that will create 2 securit groups within an OU named %OU Name% - Site Administrators and %OU Name - Site Users. But I'm not having much luck. Here's what I've got so far: Const ADS_GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL_GROUP = &h2 Const ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED = &h80000000 Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Groups,OU=ATGA,OU=Sout Eastern,OU=Locations,DC=CORVEL,DC=com") Set objGroup1 = objOU.Create("Group", "cn=ATGA - Site Administrators") objGroup1.Put "sAMAccountName", "ATGA - Site Administrators" objGroup1.Put "groupType", ADS_GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL_GROUP Or _ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED Set objGroup2 = objOU.Create("Group", "cn=ATGA - Site Users") objGroup2.Put "sAMAccountName", "ATGA - Site Users" objGroup2.Put "groupType", ADS_GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL_GROUP O _ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED objGroup1.SetInfo objGroup2.SetInfo Basically with the way it is now, I have to go through and replace th OU name 5 times, which isn't exactly a time saving process. Can anyon help me optimize it, or make it work better?

    - Problem accessing HKEY_USERS on remote machine via WMI What I'm trying to do is access HKCU on remote machine. Particulary, I'm trying to read HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3 key, entry named "1001". First I determine what user is currently logged on to the machine, then I retrieve users SID and then i access HKEY_USERS/SID branch. Thats where problems start. Here is the script: ---START--- strComputer = "JEFF" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colComputer = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem") For Each objComputer in colComputer strUlogiraniKorisnik = Mid(UCase(objComputer.UserName),InStr(UCase(objComputer.UserName),"\")+1) strDomena = Mid(UCase(objComputer.UserName),1,InStr(UCase(objComputer.UserName),"\")-1) Next Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_UserAccount where name='" & strUlogiraniKorisnik & "' and domain='" & strDomena & "'",,48) For Each objItem in colItems strSIDKorisnika = objItem.SID Next Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003 Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv") strKeyPath = strSIDKorisnika & "\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3" strEntryName = "1001" objReg.GetDWORDValue HKEY_USERS,strKeyPath,strEntryName,dwValue Wscript.Echo "Value is:" & dwValue ---END--- I know that Windows 2000 with SP4 has bug explained on http://support.microsoft.com/?id=817478 but is there another way to access HKCU on remote machine?

    - Need Suggestions for Technical Documentation Tool Hi, I am looking for suggestions for a Technical Documentation tool for our IT department. What are people using? After a short search on the internet, I was able to find a decent product at http://www.livingaddress.com/livdoc/eng/livingdoc.asp named LivingDoc 2.5. I evaluated it for 2 weeks, and although I liked some of its features, I decided against purchasing it because: - the cost seems a little excessive ($1500 for 1 user) for what the product does - there have been no new versions or updates to the product in over 2 years - support is limited to email, and they provide no phone number except for sales The main appeal of this specific tool is that it mostly automates the archiving of the code, and the hyperlinking of an application's different components. See http://www.livingaddress.com/docdemo/ for a sample output. I just have a hard time believing there isn't an alternative to this $1500 tool out there. Any suggestions will be appreciated... Thanks in advance! GSM Tag: Listing Windows Components from script Tag: 161669

    - Looking for SNMP COM Gang, I'm looking for a free/cheap SNMP COM object that will let me query SNMP on non-standard ports (IE - our SNMP agents listen on a port other then 161). All it needs to do is be able to walk the tree and return the OIDs nested inside it - that's all. I've been looking for this for a long time and can't seem to find anything simple enough to do it. All the simple COMs only talk on 161, and the others are huge expensive suites I don't need. So does someone out there have an idea? Thanks. Tag: Listing Windows Components from script Tag: 161653

    - Vbscript causing problems with Internet Security Settings Dear members and gurus, I am very new in vbscript and internet security. I created a button on my website that will call a vbscript function to launch an application located on the user's computer. The vbscript is as follow: ************************************************************* Dim fso,WshShell set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") if fso.FileExists("C:\Program Files\IEBAudioRecorder\test.txt") then 'path to the file msgBox("File Exists") WshShell.Run("C:\Progra~1\IEBAud~1\AudioRecorder.exe") 'run application else msgbox("file not found, please download it") WshShell.Run("http://blackfeet:90/library/IEBSoundRecorder.exe") 'download installer from the server end if set fso=nothing set WshShell=nothing ************************************************************* I noticed that if the user's internet setting is set to default(disable) for "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe", the vbscript would not run and my application could not be launched. If it is changed to "Enable", a message box will pop up everytime the button tries to run the vbscript, saying "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe...Do you want to allow this interaction? Yes/No". I am testing on IE6. How could I solve this problem (allow the vbscript and the application to run, and eliminate the pop up window) without asking the users to change their internet security settings? Is there any other methods to solve this, as I think requesting users to edit their security settings might risk them to malicious scripting. How can I initialize and script activeX controls to marked as safe? Is it possible to sign my vbscript a digital certificate like those for exe/cab/ocx? I sincerely hope that someone could share with me their knowledge and experience on this matter as I am totally helpless. Looking forward to some replies soon.

We have loopback enabled on a group policy and it runs the following script: Set WshNetwork =CreateObject("WScript.Network") PrinterPath ="\\servername\HP4300n" WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter PrinterPath That scripts works excellently for connecting to a shared printer and setting it as default, but it leaves existing printers connected. In a school, that is not desirable as kids will be printing to different rooms. I wish to insert a line in the above script that will delete ALL existing printers before setting the 'proper' default one.

    - ADO client disconnects after running a long query I am having a problem executing long running queries from an ASP application which connects to SQL Server 2000. Basically, I have batches of queries that are run using ADO in a loop written in VBScript. This works pretty well until the execution time of a single query starts to exceed some threshold, which I am trying to narrow down. I can typically run 2 - 10 queries in a loop, with the run time being anywhere from under a minute to an hour or more. Now that this application is being subjected to run against some large databases (25 - 40G), I'm having problems getting the application to continue beyond the first query if it takes a while to run. I used SQL Profiler to try to diagnose what was going on. I can see the query executes to completion, but immediately after completing I can see an "Audit Logout" message, which apparently means that the client has disconnected. The query durations vary from 45 or 50 minutes to up to over 90 minutes. I have the ADO connection and query timeouts set to very large values, e.g. 1000 minutes, so I can't think its that. My guess is that there is some IIS setting or timeout that I am running up against and the connection to SQL Server is just dropped for some reason. The configuration is NT 4.0 SP6 SQL Server 2000 SP3 IIS 4.0 Internet Explorer 5.5 I'm only running into this problem on the very largest databases we run against. The vast majority continue to function properly, but this is going to happen more often as time goes on the databases continue to grow in size.

What I want to do is be able to store a binary file in SQL Server and then retrieve it later and recreate the file with vbscript. I can store the file (as an image data type), and I can retrieve the data, but I can't figure out how to write it out as a new file. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be much appreciated! Tag: Listing Windows Components from script Tag: 161586

    - Can anyone help me?? Hi, I have a little problem here. Well, I am calling vbscript functions from vc, the vbscript functions being stored in the .vbs files. Now, the user is intended to give me the implementation of the vbscript functions which I will then call from the vc code. I may get different .vbs files from different users containing different implementations of the functions. I store those functions from all the files in a single file and then call the functions from that single file. Now, as the functions have same hard coded names, which can not be changed, I am not able to distinguish between functions obtained from different users. I am able to do it when I use perl. Where I can use packages to provide scope and to differentiate the functions form different files. Here the user has to use different packages per file. Can I use something similar to packages in vbscript also, to achieve the same thing?? Please let me know if anybody has answer for this. Thanks in advance. Bye. Regrads. Tushar.

Hello,

I've started a project at Sourceforge, it's a vbscript which goal is to
simplify the task of documenting Windows servers. It collects information
through WMI and writes the results to a Word file. I'm able to get quite a
lot of information from the target computer, and it looks quite nice at
present. I would however like to be able to list Windows Components, so I
can include IIS, DNS, DHCP and such in the documentation.

So my question; does anyone know of a way to get this information with a
script?

The project is called SYDI (Script Your Documentation Instantly) and is
found here: http://sydi.sourceforge.net/

It would also be nice with some feedback on the script, so please test it :)

Best regards

Patrick

Hi

To see what is installed, enumerating values under the registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OC Manager\Subcomponents
should be a viable solution, take a look here:
