    - Authorization levels and login scripts Note: cross-posted to microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript and microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin Hi guys, I'm in need of some information about how the security and impersonation of scripts works. I'm trying to create a login vbscript that will enumerate certain types of files on the HD. The problem is that we want it to run more often than when the computer is rebooted, so it can't be a startup script. As a login script, the user logging in doesn't have priveleges to see all the directories on the machine (notably the documents & settings folders for other users), but we want to enumerate the contents of those folders. What would you suggest? Is there a way to use the machine account instead of the user account when it's a login script? (from what I've read, it seems not) From the reading I've done, it seems the only way really to do it is to provide other credentials and run the script as another user. I'd prefer not to use this option as storing the credentials of another user with elevated priveleges in the script would be a security risk. If this is the only way to do it, does anybody have tips on making this option as secure as possible? Thanks very much, -Ryan Tag: Make a printer the default on remote computer ?? Tag: 162945

    - sleep, wait, or pause in HTML page The following HTML page will open an IE window, load a search page, wait for it to finish loading, and then use SendKeys to perform a query at that location (based on a passed search string). It works. However, I'm wondering if there is a better way to do the pause (Sub sSleep) while waiting for IE to finish loading the page (this version uses PING to insert a delay). Without it, IE complains that "A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly ..."; and, WScript's Sleep method does not seem to be available to IE.

    - Open an application using script I'm using Win XP Home and have Microsoft Office Professional installed. I'm a complete novice as far as VB Script is concerned and would be grateful if someone could tell me whether you can use it to open an Access database (in MS Access)?. I tried setting up an object variable using CreateObject and then called the OpenCurrentDatabase method but this didn't work. Does the object variable go out of scope when the script finishes thus closing Access even if it was opened momentarily? I don't want to have to write a VB program to do the job because I want something simple that doesn't require installation. The reason that I want a user to run code rather than simply open the Access database is because I want to check that the latest version of the application resides on the user's machine and if not replace it with the latest version copied from the server. Any advice would be appreciated. Tag: Make a printer the default on remote computer ?? Tag: 162907

    - Future version(s) of VBS and strong typing Hello everyone, I've been using VB, VBA and VBS both as a Windows scripting tool and in a few ASP pages as well for a long time now. I've learned to deal with having only the variant data type, but that doesn't mean I don't despise it still. Now I am curious whether future version(s) will support typing or not. I already know about .NET and ASP.NET, where typing is allowed, but I'm talking about VBS as we know and use it now. Does anyone know of plans to "upgrade" the scripting language and support strong typing at any time? For that matter, does anyone know WHY it was not included in the first place? I mean, would it have been THAT hard to implement from the beginning? Sure, you can accomplish quite a bit the way it is, just not EVERYTHING, and I've personally had quite a few occasions when variable typing would have made my job tons easier. Just curious...

    - How to sign a VBScript in a web page? Maybe I am in the wrong place and doing this the wrong way... please tell me if you think there is a better way. I need to transfer some files from a server to the client workstation. The transfer has to be initiated from a page served up by the web server. This is easy enough to do with VBScript and the FSO but I have to loosen up the browser security and my (military) employer will not allow that. So, is there some way I can take this script and sign it and the user can run it once the certificate is accepted? I am not resigned to using VBScript, it just seemed to be the easiest way and works well. If it makes more sense to make an exe with something like cpp and sign it, that's OK too. Surely there are some tutorials on the web on how to do this, but I can't find any, which makes me fear that it can't be done. I could use an HTA if there is a way to initiate the HTA from the web page and to pass it a parameter (the folder with the files - it will vary with each transfer). FWIW, I can create a page with links to all the files and by clicking on them cause the 'save as' dialog to come up and let the user save them. Problem is, sometimes there will be lots of files and I don't want the user to have to click and save each one individually. Any help will be greatly appreciated...

[FOLLOW-UPS TO microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript] Hi All, I'm running into issues with passing the distinguishedName of a user as a hidden form field in a form from one page to the result page. Page 1: User enters user name in a form field Page 2: Queries AD, gets distinguishedName, binds to the user. Need to add more info to the user if attributes not present. Relevant portion of FORM: Response.Write("<B>ID: " & objUser.ID & "<Font color='Red'>not entered! </font></B>" & _ "<FORM NAME='Form_Addid' ACTION='addid.asp' METHOD='post'>" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='inputId' SIZE=5 MAXLENGTH=6><br>" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='Username' value=" & objUser.sAMAccountName & ">" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='UserDN' value=" & objUser.distinguishedName & ">" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='Submit_id' value='Add ID'></FORM>") Page 3: Process form from prevoius page, populate attributes for the same user. Relevant portions of ASP code to get user's details from previous page. <% strUsername=Request.Form("Username") strUserDN = Request.Form("UserDN") Response.Write("Username: " & strUsername) Response.Write("Distinguished Name" " & strUserDN) %> Questions: i) Can the user bind on Page 2 be carried over to page 3 so there's no need to search and bind to the user again? ii) If not, can the distinguishedName be passed on to Page 3 (like I'm trying to do) to eliminate the search portion and simply bind to the distinguishedName? When I try to pass the distinguishedName to Page 3 as a hidden form field, and display the field using Response.Write - I only get a partial distinguishedName - just the CN portion. sAMAccountName seems to be passing without any issues (but then I'd need to search and bind again based on that).

    - Unable to remove remembered drives I've setup a VBScript that looks for an unused drive letter and maps it to another server to allow me to transfer some files. The script is completely finished and works perfectly if I double click on the .VBS file myself and run it. However when I started the file from the scheduler (using the same account and password that I used to logon to the server) its all goes pear shaped. When I started the script from the scheduler by right clicking the task and selecting Run it hung. So I right clicked again and terminated it. I then tried it again a few more times with a few adjustments to the script. It turned out that it couldn't map the drive for some reason and was hanging. The error message was: "An attempt was made to remember a device that had previously been remembered" It seems that while I was debugging my script I was somehow mapping each free drive that was found (although you cant see the mapping in My Computer). And it now appears I cant remove these remembered drives, or map them again... But only when the script is run from Task Scheduler. I've written a function to see whats mapped (see viewMappings below), and this is what it showed: d: = True as Data e: = True as mapped_by_script f: = True as mapped_by_script g: = True as mapped_by_script h: = True as mapped_by_script i: = True as iApps j: = True as mapped_by_script k: = True as mapped_by_script l: = True as Logs m: = False n: = False o: = True as BACKUP p: = False q: = False r: = False s: = False t: = False u: = False v: = False w: = False x: = False y: = False z: = True All the drive marked as 'mapped_by_script' above have been mapped by the script when it ran from Task Scheduler. Looking on the net I've found some code that should remove these drives, ie: WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "E:", False,True However if I try this with E: I get this error- This network connection does not exist. But this cant be True because if I try and map E: I get this error- The local device name is already in use. What on earth is going on here? If I run the script manually again (not from scheduler), it runs perfectly again. And will even map drive E: if I tell it too. Can anyone help? I've been looking at this all day and I just cannot find a solution, and I dont know what to try next! TIA, Colin Function getNextFreeDrive() Dim fso Dim i Set fso = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") For i = Asc("d") To Asc("z") If Not fso.driveexists(chr(i)) Then freeDrive = Ucase(chr(i)) & ":" Exit For End If Next Set fso = Nothing Set i = Nothing End Function Sub mapDrive() On Error Resume Next Dim WshNetwork Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive freeDrive, ExportFolder Set WshNetwork = Nothing End Sub Function viewMappings() On Error Resume Next Dim fso Dim i Dim driveListing Set fso = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") For i = Asc("d") To Asc("z") driveListing = driveListing & Chr(i) & ": = " & _ fso.driveexists(chr(i)) If fso.driveexists(chr(i)) Then driveListing = driveListing & " as " & _ fso.Drives(chr(i)).VolumeName End If driveListing = driveListing & vbcr Next SendCDOMail emailTo, emailFrom, "DRIVE LISTING", driveListing Set fso = Nothing Set i = Nothing End Function Tag: Make a printer the default on remote computer ??

    - Net Share and VBScript Hi all, this is my first time posting. I've been away from VB programing for such a long time I seem to be dumfounded when it comes to doing the easiest things. Here's the situation: Windows 2003 server and domain I have loads of home directories on my school server. With windows 9X's limitation of mapping to a share only the simple thing to do is make a share out of the home directory. - (simple if you like to right click a lot). Rights are already assigned to the home folder when it was created. I have a text file from Active Directory with the users name which matches the users home folder (already created). I would like to use this text file as a input file with a VBScript. While in the Do loop I would like it to... use the net share command to share the home folder as username + $ so that all the shares are hidden (keeps it very clean this way) That's it! Very simple for the right person, which I am not. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Michael Tag: Make a printer the default on remote computer ?? Tag: 162777

Have a look at Deji Akomolafe's post "Re: certutil to verify the presence of
a cert on multiple machines?" from 10 Sep 2004.
PsExec is a very nice tool. Instead of "cmd /k" use "cmd /c" or don't use
cmd at all.

kind regards,
