    - WMI, services and WinXP Hello Everyone, I wrote from Italy so please be patient with my english, thanks. I am a programmer and I would like to use WMI (great!) with Visual Basic 6.0 (or VBSCRIPT) to obtain services enumeration on a remote computer, just for see what services are running and so on. The code below works well with Win2K O.S., but there are no chances to use it with WinXP; every time the error description is "Authorization denied". I think this is a problem with WinXp access security, because the API EnumServicesStatus (and related) like the WMI code dont' works with WinXp, but works well with Win2K. Same consideration with the SC.exe utility from Microsoft : impossible to query the remote service dtabase on a WinXp O.S. IMPORTANT I am convinced that this is a problem related to the security and permission because, as I say, I can't execute the code remotely (i.e. enumerating services on a WinXp PC over the network from an another Win2K PC...) but the code works well If I use VB directly on a WinXp PC. Consider that the computers with WinXp O.S. are correctly registered on the network (LAN), beacuse I can browse they shared folders with Explorer. Can someone help me, please? Thank You in advance for Your very very precious support. VB 6.0 CODE [START] 'this line gets an error on a WinXP computer (remotely), but the code works well with Win2K or WinXP (locally) Set WMI = GetObject("WinMgmts:\\MyRemoteComputerName") Set objs = WMI.InstancesOf("Win32_Service") 'Win32_BaseService For Each obj In objs Debug.Print obj.Description Next obj VB 6.0 CODE [END] GianPiero Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152601

    - Logon script Hi all, Looking for a programmer to help me with following: I am not familiar with vbscripting, but we are in desperate need for a logon script for our W3K domain clients. Clients are a mixture of NT4 SP5 and W2K Sp3 & 4 Up until now we used winbatch to perform certain tasks, but since this is an 'old' licence, we need to upgrade our scripts (and our licence). I want to switch to windows scripting to avoid to have to buy new licences for over 200 clients.. Current situation: Clients are members of one or more groups. In our netlogon share, we may have a CMD file with the same name of the group. When logging on, a login.cmd file is run. This cmd verifies if the user is member of a given group (GG-All). If not, it sends a net send to a given system, indicating the user is not a member of that group, and exits. If user is member of GG-All, the the winbatch script runs. The current winbatch script puts a full-screen window on the clients machine, used to indicate the progress in the logon. It then makes a list of all global groups the user belongs to. If there is a matching cmd file, then that cmd file is executed. (so if a user is memeber of 'GG-Testgroup' then 'GG-Testgroup.cmd' gets executed) Problems we have now: Most of the CMD files that are executed are doing four things: - Check if certain directories exist on the client machine. If not create them. - Creating network shares - Setting registry entries - Synchronising files between the fileserver and the client. We use robocopy to synchronise files (works perfectly). A lot of these CMD files have some sync-commands in common, so there is a possibility that these commands get executed more than once (resulting in lenghty logons....). These CMD files/groups are all named in the same format e.g. GG-SoftwareA, GG-SoftwareB, GG-SoftwareC, ... So what I need: Basically : same as above, but in vbs ;-) - Less code in login.cmd (I think the only line should be 'wscript login.vbs' , to please the NT4 machines...) - If user not memeber of 'GG-All' : message to user and \\console PC - Full screen window, listing user's display name, and a list of all the login 'jobs' that have to run (= all the groups a user is member of AND have a CMD file associated with it) (would be nice if an indication of already executed jobs could be made, or progress bar) - If user is memeber of at least 1 'GG-Software." group : execute common code in GG-Software.cmd - For all groups user is member of: execute group.CMD (minimized, or at least 'behind' logon screen) Someone can help me with this? If you are willing to help me, you can send a mail to t d e m e y e r [at] m u l t i n e t g r o u p [dot] c o m. Tim Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152600

    - Accessing Multiple Files w/ vbscript I'm having great difficulty figuring out a way to access multiple files using GetFolder, Subfolders, and Files to set a variable for the file to be accessed. The code below is a bit junky because I want you to see all the things I've tried. Even if I leave Subfolders out, and put all the log files in the same folder, I'm returned the same error, "File not found." I've even tried running the script in the same folder as the log files. However, if I add "wscript.echo objFile.name" in a line before "objOutputFile.Writeline(objfile.name)", I receive a message box indicating the correct filename. The bottom line is that I want to be able to parse multiple log files in a directory structure without having to specify the filenames manually. Does anyone know if this is a limitation of vbscript? Does anyone know how to access multiple files in vbscript? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------- Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objParentFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Test\Logs") Set objOutputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Test\Reports\ListFiles.txt", ForWriting, True) Set objSubFolder = objParentFolder.SubFolders For Each objFolder in objSubFolder strBuildPath = objParentFolder & "\" & objFolder.name Set objFileFolder = objFolder.Files For Each objFile in objFileFolder ' response.write(objFile.name) ' wscript.echo objFile.name ' objOutputFile.WriteLine(objFile.name) Next Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objParentFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Test\Logs\2003\") ' Set objOutputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("ListFiles.txt", ForWriting, True) For Each objFiles in objParentFolder.Files ' response.write(objFiles.name) ' objOutputFile.WriteLine(objFiles.name) Next Set objFileFolder = objFolder.Files For Each objFile in objFileFolder ' response.write(objFile.name) ' objOutputFile.WriteLine(objFile.name) Next For Each objFiles in objParentFolder.Files ' response.write(objFiles.name) objOutputFile.WriteLine(objFiles.name) Next For Each objFiles in objParentFolder.Files Set objTextFile1 = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objFiles.name , ForReading) Next Next objOutputFile.close -------------------------------- TIA, Script Novice Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152572

    - Getting SQL Script to run in VBS Hi Everyone, I am very new to VB Scripting and would like to find out how might I go about running an SQL (2000) statement through VBScript and then assign the result into an environment variable. My application can read the environment variables. Essentially here is the SQL command I have been trying to use with VB Script: isql -U sa -P password -Q "select cast(substring(@@version,0,charindex('(',@@version,0)) as varchar(40)), cast(substring(@@version,charindex('Build',@@version,0)-1, Len(@@version)) as varchar(35))" -o c:\result\SQLVersion.txt The SQL statement gives me the SQL Server version and its service pack info. Right now it writes to a file but I rather keep it in the memory if possible, and then simply manipulate the text so that it shows only a single line of text instead of three. Thank you for any pointers. Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152571

    - Using CSVDE output data in VBS, problem with "\\" I use csvde to extract data that looks like: 101000081,"CN=Czuchry\\, Michael L.,OU=psy,OU=Depts,DC=company,DC=com" 101000164,"CN=Loud\\, John,OU=lan,OU=Depts,DC=company,DC=com" etc. I read that into a VBscript and then based on other criteria, I want to disable and then move the appropriate user accounts. That section of my code looks like this: ************************ 1 If status = "notactive" Then 2 strADsPath = "LDAP://" & objRecordset.Fields.Item("DN") 3 wscript.echo strADsPath 4 Set objUser = GetObject(strADsPath) 5 wscript.echo objUser 6 7 UAC = objUser.Get("userAccountControl") 8 9 objUser.Put "userAccountControl", UAC OR ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE 10 objUser.SetInfo 11 12 Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=Mail1Disables,ou=ToBeDeleted,dc=company,dc=com") 13 objOU.MoveHere strADsPath, vbNullString 14 End if The problem is when line 2 tries to build the correct AD path, it sticks the two \\ characters which is invalid: LDAP://CN=Loud\\, John,OU=lan,OU=Depts,DC=tcu,DC=edu C:\scripts\smooth.vbs(63, 5) (null): An invalid dn syntax has been specified. How can I convert the \\ to just \ which is the true DN? I suppose csvde is esc'ing the single DN during its output, but that's such a huge pain to deal with. I also realize I shouldn't have to do the csvde export at all, I should be able to query all the users in AD directly and set variables for them, but I haven't learned how to do that yet.

    - Script to run when screen saver is on (w2kpro) How do you get a VB script to work when the screen saver (with password protect) is on? I have a script that will work (to do a disk defrag) when run from the desktop, but when I put it in the scheduler and it runs with the screen saver on, it runs it to the point when it should choose some Send Keys command. At that point it appears that the window that is supposed to be chosen is not selected and the script hangs. Anyone with any ideas? Brian Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152568

    - Win32_NTLogEvent Query Security Log Hello. I try to query the Security Log of a Windows 2000 Domain Controller. I only want to query for a special time period. I#ve created the following query string: Set colLoggedEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent Where TimeWritten >= '"&dtmStart&"' and TimeWritten < '"&dtmEnd&"' and Logfile='Security' and EventIdentifier='644'", , 48) The dtmStart and dtmEnd Values are calculated by a Function. The Return value of this Function is string. If I execute the query I get the following error: (null): 0x80041017 In the MS KB 295821 is the clear text of this error number. It means "WBEM_E_INVALID_QUERY ". I've pasted the query from the Script Repository from MS. If I paste the Values manually (i.e.dtmStart =20040127084847.000000+060; dtmEnd=20040128084847.000000+060) I get return values!

    - "Destroy" a MsgBox Hello, I vaguely remember that in some programming languages there is a way to "destroy" a message box - is there a way to do this in VBScript? By "destroy" I mean that rather than the user clicking "OK" that the script makes the msgbox go away. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    - VB Script - two keyboard keys at the same time in a script Hello; I was wondering how you put a command in a VB script that commands two keyboard strokes at the same time. i.e. when you want the alt button you put {alt} What I want is to put the alt key and tab at the same time; like holding the two keys at the same time. If you put in the script {alt}{tab} I assume it would consider them stroked sequencially, not at the same time. Anyone have the solution? Brian Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152525

    - use msvsa for vbscript debugging Somehow, a long time ago, we managed to set our NT systems up in such a way, that the MS Visual Studio Analyzer is launched automatically when a run-time error occurs while running a VBscript, displaying the relevant information. Recently we have moved to XP, and although all the tools are the same (VS6, Primal Script), we have not been able to configure our new systems to show the same behaviour. Can anyone shed some light on how to make this happen? Thanks, Rob Hegt Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152484

Currently, I use a VB Script with FileSystemObject's CopyFolder method to copy a folder (and it's sub-folders) to a shared directory. There seem to be some permission related problems with this method.... Seemingly with permissions.... What permission would I need to set on the source folder to make the script work properly?

    - TURN $12 INTO $12,000 NOW!!! EEP THIS SHIT YALL MY FRIEND GOT $500 LAST WEEK TRYING THIS SHIT: make extra cash GREAT WAY TO BECOME RICH...INSTANT THOUSANDS This is no scam, read it!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- HOW TO TURN $12 INTO $12,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS !!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! : A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroup, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $12.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. : Anyway, it said that you send $2.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroup. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $12.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it : All, So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $12.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!?. Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end second week I had made a total over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. Its : Certainly worth $12.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! : Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works?.also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 2 US $1.00 bills and place TWO inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bills will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each stating the above phrase, your name and address, and 2 $1.00 bills. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1) Corteney Tomson P.O. Box 55 Dupo, IL 62239 #2) Brad Taylor 6 Terry Ln. Hutchinson, KS 67501 #3) Cedric Etienne 239 Autumn Breeze Way Winter Park, FL 32792 #4) Stephen Mitchell 1977 Alcovy Trace Way Lawrenceville, GA 30045 #5) Melissa Martinez 15440 sw 74 cir ct #607 Miami, FL 33193 #6) Maurice Sawyers 49 Middle Rose St Trenton, NJ 08618 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc?.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups, message board. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!---- DIRECTIONS----HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS, MESSAGE BOARD----------Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your : Cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Just example you log on any search engine like yahoo. com,google. com,altavista. com,excite. com then you search with this subject ? millionaire message board? or ?money making message board? or ? employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or ?money making forum? or ?business message board? etc. You will find thousand & thousand message board. Click one by one then you will find the option post a new message. : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one!. : Congratulations? THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, and it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! ** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS OR MESSAGE BOARD YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU EILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually can rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. ** : Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $2.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional :$125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $12.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $12.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $12.. and see if it really works?? I think so? People have said, 'what if the plan is played out and no one sends you: the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. AND YES YOU HAVE TO SEND THE MONEY FOR THIS TO WORK!!!dont try not to,IT WONT WORK TRUST ME Tag: Managing local user objects Tag: 152468

Hi,

I need to create, copy, rename and reset passwords for user obejcts that are
local to a computer (both Windows XP and Windows Server 2003).

I've browsed through the Windows 200 Scripting Guide, which I must say seems
rather comprehensive, but I can only find information on Active Directory
users.

If anyone could point me to where I can find information on local user
objects, I'd be much obliged!

Hi,

The process is pretty much the same, except that you must use the WinNT
provider for local accounts. A few links in the TechNet Script Center give
example:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/scriptcenter/user/default.asp

For example, to create a local user:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/ScriptCenter/user/ScrUG92.asp

To create a local group:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/ScriptCenter/user/ScrUG90.asp

Setting local user password never expires:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/ScriptCenter/user/ScrUG115.asp

Add user to local group:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/ScriptCenter/user/ScrUG69.asp

Other example enumerate groups or users, or display properties of users.
