    - wshremote not running script on remote computer Hi all, I am trying to run a simple script that opens the cmd shell on a remote computer. I have two scripts; the first script asks for the computer to run the script on and the script to run on that remote computer and the second script is the script that is run and called by script 1. below is script 1; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim Controller, RemoteScript, strcomputer, text1, wshshell, oexec 'Variables Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController") text1 = "You did not enter a computer name!" Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strscriptloc = "C:\scripts\cmdexec.vbs" 'Ask the user which computer that they would like to run the app on strcomputer = inputbox("Please enter the computer that you would like to open the command prompt on.","Open a command box on which computer??") 'If the user didn't enter anything, then close the app gracefully If strcomputer = "" Then WScript.Echo Text1 wscript.quit end if 'check connectivity to the computer before running execution xp / 2003 only wmiQuery = "Select * From Win32_PingStatus Where Address = '" & strComputer & "'" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") Set objPing = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery) For Each objStatus in objPing If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) Or objStatus.Statuscode<>0 Then wscript.echo "Computer is not responding on the network, unable to continue" wscript.quit end if Next set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript(strscriptloc, strcomputer) RemoteScript.Execute Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2 WScript.Sleep 100 Loop wscript.disconnectobject remotescript Sub remotescript_Error Dim theError Set theError = remotescript.Error WScript.Echo "Error " & theError.Number & " - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description WScript.Quit -1 End Su -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second script is as follows; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim WshShell, oExec Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshrun = wshshell.run ("cmd /k") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty simple really. The script works on my local machine perfectly, but when I execute it on a remote machine, nothing, no error message, just completes and doesnt do a thing. I have added and re-added the remote reg_sz registry value in the registry with a 1(when I try and run it without a remote registry value, I get the active x can't create object error, so I know that the registry value is working correctly). I have registered the wscript object on the remote machine wscript -regserver, but still no luck, not even an error?? I am a domain admin and I have all the rights to perform this script execution on the remote machine also. can anybody help??

    - Handling Events in a VBScript Class I can handle events fired by an object as follows: set objTest=WScript.CreateObject("TheObject.TheFunction","objTest_") Sub objTest_TheEvent 'The event handler code. End Sub The above works quite nicely. I want to do the following: Class WrapperClass Sub Class_Initialize set objTest=WScript.CreateObject("TheObject.TheFunction","objTest_") End Sub Sub objTest_TheEvent 'The event handler code. End Sub End Class When I try the second way, the event handler is never called. If I move it outside the class, it DOES get called, surprisingly enough, even though the object is declared and initialized inside the class. Is there any way I can modify this so that the event handler is a class member? Thanks, --Vorpal Tag: WMI for Local Security Policy Tag: 219071

    - [ann] another way to call api's from script (the PB way) This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------050203010807070203050001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I know what you're thinking. If microsoft wanted scripters to be calling api's from script, then they would have built that capability into the scripting engine. And besides, isn't there already a DynaWrap utility for those who would dare to trespass outside the boundaries of accepted scripting norms? True... However, (for the sake of completeness?), while browsing in the PowerBasic forum, I stumbled across a posting authored by Charles Pegge and entitled: "How to turn a DLL into a COM object", found here: http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pbforums/showthread.php?s=69fab519eedc80eb6974c2c9ba8c881b&t=28421&highlight=comfordll That sounded intriguing. And it was. What you get is some powerbasic source code, a dll and a typelib. You register the dll (and the typelib) with the provided bat file. Then you run the script, which will interface with a "standard" dll (also provided). It all works like "a charm" (any win98 users, see the postscript). The implication is that if "COMforDLL" will work with a standard dll, then it will work with any standard system dll as well. What was intriguing to me was the notion that you could write a com component in powerbasic, whereas the conventional wisdom is that microsoft vb or c++ (and templates) are necessary. The "basic" source code provided, (if you take the time to read it), looks just like c++ code albeit written in basic. In other words, it is more-or-less c++ code rendered into the basic language. If nothing else, it is helpful to understand if one eventually wished to go from vb to c++ in order to write some actX objects which don't render very well into vb. Here is the vbs test script provided by Pegge: --- <code> --- ' VBscript .vbs, Author: Charles E V Pegge, 30 June 2006 set II = WScript.CreateObject("COMforDLL.Object","II_") MyLibrary = II.LoadLibrary ( "ExampleHostDLL.dll" ) ReqReturnString = II.GetProcAddress ( MyLibrary, "TestFunctionReturnString" ) CallMeBack = II.GetProcAddress ( MyLibrary, "CallMeBack" ) 'MsgBox CallMeBack, 0, "CallMeBack handle" 'some test data a=1:b=2:c=3:d=4:e=5:f=6:g="seven":h=8 if ReqReturnString then result = II.fun ( ReqReturnString, a,b,c,"four",e,f,g,h ) MsgBox result, 0, "Result" end if II.RequestCallback(3) 'a COmforDLL test function if CallMeBack then II.EnableLibraryCallbacks (MyLibrary) II.fun CallMeBack, 2 II.DisableLibraryCallbacks (MyLibrary) end if FreeLibrary = II.FreeLibrary (MyLibrary) Set II = Nothing sub II_Callback1() Wscript.echo "Callback 1 is called" end sub sub II_Callback2(v1,v2,v3,v4) Wscript.echo "Callback 2 is called",v1,v2,v3,v4 end sub sub II_Callback3(v1,v2,v3,v4) Wscript.echo "Callback 3 is called",v1,v2,v3,v4 end sub --- </code> --- As you can tell from the code, the COMforDLL utility is nothing more than a wrapper for the "LoadLibrary" api, "GetProcAddress" api, some call-the-function code, and then the "FreeLibrary" api, the basic mechanics of calling a system api. DynaWrap does a better job of hiding the guts of the api call, but then COMforDLL does get the job done. cheers, jw p.s. Note for the win98 crowd. My first attempt to register the COMforDLL dll and typelib with the win98 regsvr32.exe failed. How revolting! I took the package over to a nearby winXP system and it worked perfectly. And so, I thought that maybe I could get COMforDLL to work with win98 if I manually copied the winXP registry entries and took them back to win98. So I exported the entries from winXP and loaded them into the win98 registry. VOILA! Now the COMforDLL works successfully on win98 too. If there are any win98 aficionados left, then the reg file I used is attached. --------------050203010807070203050001 Content-Type: text/plain; name="COMforDLL.reg.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="COMforDLL.reg.txt" REGEDIT4 ; COMforDLL registry entries, jw 02July08 ; The "COMforDLL" utility comes with an actX dll plus a typelib, ; and a batch file to register these two entities. But alas, ; couldn't get that to work (i.e., register itself) on win98se. ; And so, found an accomodating winXP system, and VOILA! it did ; work over there. And so, exported the registry entries, and ; then attempted to load them into the win98se registry as follows: ; ------------------------------------------------ [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\COMforDLL.Object] @="Intermediary between DLL host and COM client" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\COMforDLL.Object\CLSID] @="{044A4BF7-837E-459A-A9AA-C961B8888E80}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{044A4BF7-837E-459A-A9AA-C961B8888E80}] @="Intermediary between DLL host and COM client" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{044A4BF7-837E-459A-A9AA-C961B8888E80}\InprocServer32] @="C:\\Program Files\\COMforDLL\\COMforDLL.dll" "ThreadingModel"="both" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{044A4BF7-837E-459A-A9AA-C961B8888E80}\ProgID] @="COMforDLL.Object" --------------050203010807070203050001-- Tag: WMI for Local Security Policy Tag: 219070

    - restart a process in XP .. Hi there, I'm not a programmer and would really appricate some help here. I need a VB script to get the PID of a running process from the name and then kill it and/or restart it. I read about taskkill, but that opens a DOS box and requires the name of the process, the PID of which changes. Don't ask me to study examples as when I learned BASIC we were still using single letter variable names .. :) $winkill "someProcess" .. kill it ... $winkill -r "someProcess" .. kill it and restart ...

    - reading stderror stream An anybody provide me with the answer to the following; I am calling an wshshell.exec to execute a program. I can read the stdout perfectly from this, but I would like to read the stderror so that it provides more information as to what went wrong. I have tried playing around with vbs and reading the stderr stream, but nothing seemes to be streamed into this property. If I can get this to work then I would probably output it to screen or a text file for further troubleshooting. Thanks -- Firewalker82 Tag: WMI for Local Security Policy Tag: 219059

    - Set AutoConfig for all users This question was asked not too long ago, but the answer was not relevant for my situation. I run a script locally on every machine that I work on to verify standards are met on the machine such as specific versions of software and windows settings such as SP2 firewall disabled. I'm looking to have my script set the auto-config URL for all users on the machine. Normally I ran gpedit manually and go to "User Configuration" --> Windows Settings --> Internet Explorer Maintenance --> Connection --> Automatic Browser Configuration and set the auto-config URL. I have automated just about everything I want to do, but I can't seem to find a way to set this setting with a script. Can this be accomplished with a script? I could just adjust the setting in the registry for the current user, but multiple users log onto these machines. I have no access to the domain controllers so that's not an option. Thanks.

    - active directory / office username script dear all, was wondering if someone could offer a helping-hand with this script . the aim of the script is to automatically populate the Username registry value for Office 2003 such that it is prepopulated with data from AD and does not prompt the user. the AD query seems fine. however i have an issue with the writing of the reg_binary data in that would seem related to the data retrieved from AD, as if i hard- wire text into the 'strusername' variable all is well.(using the Ascii function). first up i have found that i need to use the 'unicode' function of the script to get any 'sensible' data in to the registry, which would seem related to the storage of the data in AD. when doing this the observed behaviour is for the script to enter registry data that is nearly correct, but non-printable chars appear in the User information dialog of the application. when we look at the binary data using regedit we are missing "00 00" from the hex data as compared to the data which yields correct user information as viewed in the office applications.

    - Long paths Ok, I have an access module which builds an index of directories in the subtree of a user-selected directory/drive. Then, it goes through those and builds another index of all the files in those directories. I'm using the FileSystemObject just for clean code. Here's the problem I'm hitting. I'm hitting the 260 character MAX_PATH limit. The fso is reporting the correct number of files, but for the files that exceed the limit, it acts like they're not even there. No errors are raised, nothing. I've tried this in VB6, but again nothing. I was told the kernel has some API's I can use, but honestly, I am not that well versed in API usage. Bottom line, I need to be able to capture the long path of every file. I can use the shortpath for my metadata extraction, etc, but for the people who use the output of this, I do need to capture the "windows explorer" name. Here's an example of a filepath that's too far out: (This is an actual file that I generated for testing) X:\shared\username \New_Folderaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadfasdfasdfasdifuasdiofuyeasdkofuheasdkjfjheaskldjfheaskdfheaskdjfheaskldjfheaskdjfhasd \adsfdkjfheaskdjfheasldkjfheasdklfehasdfkljashdlfjksdfh.txt Tag: WMI for Local Security Policy Tag: 218983

    - Help with Logon script error Below is a logon script that I've basically put together from various other examples. The intention of the script is to map a set of common drives for my users. The script should check to see if a drive mapping already exist, if so, then remove it, then map the drive letter back to what I want. I kow/think that part of it is an attempt to handle persistent drive letters in Explorer where even after disconnecting the drive,it still appears in "My Computer" When I run the script I get the following error: Line: 11 Char: 1 Error: object required 'objFSO' Can anyone help?

    - Searching computers on the net, and finding which is online This concerns a logon-script, which assigns drive letters to network drives, like in WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "E:", "\\server-x\Public" The problem is that not all servers (rather peers) are not always switched on, and trying to map drives to those computers results in long wait times and eventually invalid drive mappings. But the WshNetwork object offers me -- as far as I can find out -- no means to verify first, if the target computer is actually reachable. I would like to have a method which enumerates all computers which are currently logged on in a domain, or searching computers on the LAN generally, as the "Search computer" menu item in "Network Neighbourhood" (or how that is called in english).

    - CDO script causes Exchange Server to hang Pardon me for making this so vague, but... I have a script that uses CDO to access messages in a mailbox and delete them based on age. The script works fine in testing. It works some of the time in the production environment, but intermittently causes the Exchange Server's local delivery queue to stop processing, become unresponsive to a manual reconnect, and require the server to be rebooted. The consequence not as bad as it may sound. This server is used only for journaling copied messages. I know this sounds like an Exchange issue, but thought I would ask the question here first to see if anyone had a similar issue. Is there some way to throttle or "chunk" the amount of data transmitted in the session? This might be similar to the ADO Recordset parameter that limits the number of records returned in a query. There are typically a million messages in the target folder... Tag: WMI for Local Security Policy Tag: 218887

    - Renaming files Hi: I've written a macro in vba that works well where it will go to a directory, find a file and rename it. The problem is, I can't get it to work in vbs. The catch is that I won't know the exact file name to find. So, for example, the file will begin with "Int_Data" but then the program that creates the file will attach a set of numbers to the end of the file extension like "Int_Data_123456". The numbers are something that I cannot predict. Below is the code I've written and does not work. I think I'll need to use InStr to find the file, but I'm not sure how to use it to find a file beginning with "Int_Data" and rename it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm still trying to figure out how to remotely find the the "Log on as a
batch job Properties" located in "User Rights Assignment". From what I
can tell, this is not available through WMI. I've seen third party
applications that can grab this info, but I cannot figure it out.

Anybody have a clue?

Thanks.
