    - Opening a word doc as a template and then save into a server with ip address Hi there, I am using htm and asp to write a web applicaiton, which opens a word template located in its sub folder. Then my app will ask the user to input whatever info required and then I will populate the word doc according without opening the word doc to the user explicitly. Then the newly created file will be saved to a server (ip address available). I just wonder how this can be accomplished, if I try to use client-side vbscript, I was not able to use fso.copyfile to copy file from URL to a server. Besides, when I open the word doc, even explicit saying the wordobject is invisible it still ask me question if I want to open it read-only or ....but I don't want the user to see the template at all. If I user server-script in an asp, I won't be able to use server.createobject(word.application), so how can I open the word doc and change it then? Please advice me the best way the get this done... Thanks in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Wanda Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161806

    - connecting printers on samba in a vbs script? Hello, I am trying to write a vbs script that replaces the need for the user to connect printers by right-clicking a printer and choosing 'connect'. I am using the following code: ' declare variables dim wshnetwork ' set reference to WSH network object set wshnetwork=wscript.createobject("wscript.network") ' add connection to a network printer hpintel on samba (ibm-nas) wshnetwork.addwindowsprinterconnection "\\samba\hpintel" The problem is that the printer is on samba and I am trying to connect to it as a local administrator. The way I would do it manually is connect to \\samba and enter my login and password in the domain and then 'connect' the printer. However, if I were to run the script as an administrator I wouldn't have the opportunity to authenticate with samba. Therefore I tried using the "runas" command to run the script as a domain user. I used the /netonly option. This worked as far as the printers showing up on the "printers and faxes" window. But they appeared with the status: "access denied. unable to connect" and when I tried to print I got the error message: "Cannot print the file. Be sure that your printer is connected properly and use Control Panel to verify that the printer is configured properly." What should I do? Is there any way to simulate connecting to samba as a known domain user and then adding printers? Thanks, Aviv. Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161790

    - Password changes on different domains Hi There I have got a user who works between to different Windows 2000 domains (Lets say D1 and D2). Her computer is joined to domain D1. She has also got a user account on D2, but obviously if I join her computer to D2 she will be disjoined from D1 (which we don't want). I have managed to get her working on D2 in all respects but managing her password seems troublesome. I've created a vbscript to change her password on D2, but then she must be logged onto the D2 domain to be able to run it.

Normaly, in Excel, the template creates an instans of itself (resultning in an .xls-file).

    - WMI win32 access denied workgroup NOT domain 'microsoft you're killing me!' O.K., desperation time, before I start I am not talking about a Domain here. I am only talking about a simple home workgroup. I have WMI security working without trouble at work in our corporate domain, but can't work out why I can't get it to work at home where I do not want a domain. Here is my problem. If I use [Computer Management][Services and Applications][WMI] and bring up the properties on a local machine, it works fine. If ? however ? I <right-click> on [Computer Management] and then connect to any other computer in my workgroup; then attempt to get the properties of WMI, I simply receive the message that "Failed to connect to <computer name> because Win32: access is denied" I have made absolutely sure that the local administrator's accounts are exactly the same name and password. I have made absolutely sure that the remote machine's ?WMI Security settings' for the local administrator are maxed out and inherited from "Root" namespace down. I have tried many other bits and pieces, but simply can't get this to work. In my Corporate Domain at work, security is set through ?domain security objects' and I have no trouble writing scripts that use WMI on remote machines. Just can't get it to work at home and it is driving me crazy. Please any help on what to try? Because I can't get the bloody authentication to work, I can't get Microsoft's WMI explorer to return structures on computer in my home network other than the one I am working on, which is really a pain in the #$%^rse.

    - Open network connection (VPN) with vbscript Alex, both of these are wonderful suggestions, a lot further than I'v ever got in trying to resolve this issue, but still a little flawed. When run, the VPN connection opens and then asks to connect or cancel. After you connect, the 2nd script you have suggested, pops up with bunch of windows which I'm trying to avoid. When you select OK o those windows, the VPN connection will then initiate a close connectio box with the option to stay connected. If you select to stay connected then it's fine. All of these windows will deffinitely confuse m clients. Is there a better way, or even a way that will halt th script indeffinitely without asking for user input, so that the entir VPN session can go along? Thanks again for all your help. Ian Alex K.

It is just a little test script to try to get something to work. <A href="/Tivities/CPAGEU.asp"><Img Src="C:\ArCdMaps\KYAC.bmp" Height="225" Width="475" Usemap="#USA"> <A href="/Tivities/CPAGEU.asp"><Img Src="C:\ArCdMaps\KYAC.gif" Height="225" Width="475" Usemap="#USA"> <A href="/Tivities/CPAGEU.asp"><Img Src="C:\ArCdMaps\KYAC.jpg" Height="225" Width="475" Usemap="#USA"> Only the .gif image displayes. Yes all three images are in the directory. It is just that we get the graphics from the test center in Chattanooga. Thanks in advance for any explanation!

    - Server permission problems and SchAgent Hi All, Using Win2k sp3 Perl 5.8.1 Apache2 I was using a CGI script in an Apache2/Win2k network to browse files and filetime info on the server and across the network. Using the default account for Apache2, I succeeded on the web server, but got bad file descriptors when going across LAN. It was the usual permission trouble. Since I was using Perl CGI I ran over to CPAN and looked for a module to do a CreateProcessWithLogon or some such beast. I couldn't get any of several modules to work. Then I realized that the trusty Scheduler.SchAgent might be the trick.=20 I ended up using a named pipe. The CGI script fires a Pipe client (setup as a Scheduled Task) to read the x-lan file, and write to the named pipe.=20 The info was read back from inside the CGI script=20 running a Pipe server. The CGI script used the SchAgent object to Activate the desired Scheduled Task, give it the right command line, then "Run" it.=20 It works because the web server is running in the SYSTEM account, and the fired Scheduled Task is running as the Administrator. I setup the task before hand with username and password I need, but when I "Run" from CGI its not necessary to supply the credentials again :) Here's a simple Perl demo http://4.11.211.97/PLPipe.zip regards, tlviewer Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161732

    - InternetExplorer.Application methods and properties reference Where can I find more information about properties and methods available on "InternetExplorer.Application" object? If I want to use "InternetExplorer.Application" to the fullest, which book or web reference would you suggest? Another quick question: how to attach to *EXISTING* (so the script does not create its own InternetExplorer.Application object) instance of Internet Explorer and control it via script?

    - Weird The very weird thing is, in my testing, I added a line "RAISERROR('Test',16,1) at the beginning of the stored procedure, and then after the execution, the vbscripts catches the error. If I move the line "RAISERROR.." to any place within the stored procedure after a sub-stored procedure has been called, the vbscripts code could not catch the error. Note that the error is caught by Query Analyzer fine, no matter where I put the RAISERROR. Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161726

    - Automatically scrolling IE window to show last lines added I created a script which retrieves values from registry keys on all networked (online) computers in our domain. For that purpose some kind of progress indicator was needed. This is the *example* how that was made: ---START--- Set objExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") objExplorer.Navigate "about:blank" objExplorer.ToolBar = 0 objExplorer.StatusBar = 0 objExplorer.Width = 800 objExplorer.Height = 600 objExplorer.Left = 0 objExplorer.Top = 0 Do While (objExplorer.Busy) Wscript.Sleep 200 Loop objExplorer.Visible = 1 objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "Progress..." Do While 1=1 objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML & "<BR>" & "some text..." Wscript.Sleep 300 Loop Wscript.Quit ---END--- When this script is run, Internet Explorer is started and lines with text "some text..." are added one under another. When there is too much text to fit on the screen, vertical scrollbar is automatically created and text is scrollable. The question is how to modify the script so that when lines of text are added to the bottom the window automatically scrolls to show the last line added to log, without user having to scroll manually to see the newest lines?

    - populating a list of available printers (client-side) On the Internet, I found the following simple snippet of VB code that creates a list of available printers: strList = "The following printers are available: " Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") Set PrinterList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select Name from Win32_Printer") For Each Printer In PrinterList strList = strList & Chr(13) & Trim(Printer.Name) Next MsgBox strList It works fine under VB 6.0, but not as a client-side script running in an ASP page under the browser (IE 6.0 in my case) - it fails at the GetObject. Is there are way to get this to work as client-side script (or is there an alternative approach that will work and accomplish the same goal?) Any insight or solution would be much appreciated!!

    - Extracting from Security Log Hi Scripting Experts, I'm trying to write a script to log Domain Logon Failures, rather than trawling thru our DCs logs. For the moment I'm happy with getting output, rather than just logging to a file. So far I have is the following which outputs the number of Domain Logon Failures as indicated by Event ID 675. My question - how do I go about extracting the username and time the event was logged? Scripomatic doesn't seem to mention this for the Win32_NTLogEvent collection. Here's my script so far, help much appreciated. 'VBScript to check the Security Log for Logon Faillures strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Security)}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colLoggedEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent Where Logfile = 'Security' and " _ & "EventCode = '675'") Wscript.Echo "Domain Logon Failures: " & colLoggedEvents.Count Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161705

    - How to use response.write (quotation problem) please help! Hello, I am trying to use the response.write method and I have two simple questions. Why do I see it two forms of response.write? 1. Response.write("<HTML CODE>") 2. Response.write "<HTML CODE>" (sometimes with "(" sign and sometimes without) Second question: Using this method you need to use quotation marks at start and at the end. What if my HTML code uses quotation itself? Can I have something like that Response.Write("<FONT face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica" size=2>") The problen is how will the server know which " sign is the last one?

    - Can't execute WSH script from bat file We're trying to trigger execution of some WSH scripts from a batch file which in turn is called from an ASP script. The ASP code looks like: <% Dim oShell,sResult,sPath Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") sPath= server.MapPath("test.bat") sResult = oShell.run(sPath, 0, FALSE) 'asynchronous Response.Write sResult %> The batch file code looks like: cd <Full path to application directory> FACSV.wsf E NonFACSV.wsf E Now, the problem is that the batch file executes correctly, but both the WSH scripts are not executed. But if the scripts are executed on the Windows 2000 command line directly, they work ok. The same setup works ok on our test server, but not on client's server having similar configuration. What can be the problem? Thanks in advance. Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161691

    - Listing Windows Components from script 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 Tag: Mass password reset from text file Tag: 161687
