    - How to obtain computer name longer than 15 characters? How can I obtain the longer computer name of a computer via vbscript? All techniques I've seen so far only return the NetBIOS name, which is 15 characters max. Windows has supported computer names up to 63 characters long since at least Windows 2000. Most computers on my network have computer names longer than 15 characters. Thanks. Brent Gardner Network Administrator IPRO Tech, Inc. Tag: Monitor opening of particular extension Tag: 200228

    - Using XML DOM to update machine.config Hello all. The following lines are an excerpt from a machine.config file: <configuration> <system.net> <connectionManagement> <add address="*" maxconnection="10"/> </connectionManagement> </system.net> <system.web> <processModel enable="true" timeout="Infinite" idleTimeout="Infinite" shutdownTimeout="0:00:05" requestLimit="Infinite" requestQueueLimit="5000" restartQueueLimit="10" memoryLimit="60" webGarden="false" cpuMask="0xffffffff" userName="machine" password="AutoGenerate" logLevel="Errors" clientConnectedCheck="0:00:05" comAuthenticationLevel="Connect" comImpersonationLevel="Impersonate" responseDeadlockInterval="00:03:00" maxWorkerThreads="100" maxIoThreads="100" minWorkerThreads="50" /> </system.web> </configuration> I'm using the following VBScript to edit the machine.config file and change the "maxconnection" value from 10 to 48: Dim strServer, XMLFilePath, XMLFileName, XMLFile, XMLFileBak strServer = "000-WEB15-CRS" XMLFilePath = "\\" & strServer & _ "\C$\Winnt\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG\" XMLFileName = "machine.config" XMLFile = XMLFilePath & XMLFileName XMLFileBak = XMLFileName & "_Backup_" & ".txt" Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml.DOMDocument") xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = True xmlDoc.load XMLFile '~~~ Create backup of original XML file Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject") _ .GetFile(XMLFile).Name = XMLFileBak Dim strNode, strKeyName, strNewValue strNode = "/*/*/*/*[@address=" & Chr(34) & "*" & Chr(34) & "]" strKeyName = "maxconnection" strNewValue = "48" Set objNode = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode (strNode) objNode.setAttribute strKeyName, strNewValue xmlDoc.Save XMLFile Set xmlDoc = nothing Set objFSO = nothing Set objNode = nothing The script works fine, except for one thing. The whitespace appears to be preserved throughout the machine.config file - except for the "<processModel" section. This section gets changed - the entire section ends up on one horizontal line: <processModel enable="true" timeout="Infinite" idleTimeout="Infinite" shutdownTimeout="0:00:05" requestLimit="Infinite" requestQueueLimit="5000" restartQueueLimit="10" memoryLimit="60" webGarden="false" cpuMask="0xffffffff" userName="machine" password="AutoGenerate" logLevel="Errors" clientConnectedCheck="0:00:05" comAuthenticationLevel="Connect" comImpersonationLevel="Impersonate" responseDeadlockInterval="00:03:00" maxWorkerThreads="100" maxIoThreads="100" minWorkerThreads="50"/> Any idea what's causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Dave Tag: Monitor opening of particular extension Tag: 200225

    - On Not in List script problem Thanks in advance for any help! I have the following script for a field called DialUpAccess in my Microsoft Access database. This is a combo box that can look up entered values (repeating values) or should allow values that were not previously not in the list to be added.

    - VBScript Create AD users I am making a script that programatically creates user accounts in Active Directory. I can create users without any problems. The issue is I would like to append a # to the user ID if it already exists in AD. For Example, jsmith already exists so if Joe Smith joins the company his samAccountName should be jsmith2. I cannot get that part of the scripting. If anyone has a code snippet related to that issue it would be greatly appreciated. Just as a note: I cannot pull from Excel so altering the id's there is out. I need it to all be contained in the script. Tag: Monitor opening of particular extension Tag: 200223

    - Preventing interruptiong of Logon Script Hello any and all knowledgable script writers: I am hoping you can help me with a vbs login script I am writing to map network drives. I am done, but the only problem I am facing is that if the user cannot touch the computer (i.e. launch outlook) because the script is interrupted and it doesn't map the drives. Is it possible to code something that will render any user input void until the script is completed running? I guess the question is, what do I need to add to the vbs to make the script uninterruptible? Any and all help is greatly greatly appreciated!!

    - Login Script HI guys and gals, I'm trying to get a login script I have put together working... It's an amalgamation of scripts I have found online. My goals are: 1: Automate Network Printer deployment based upon user group membership. Printer lists will be stored in text files, one for each group. 2: Automate Network Drive deployment, again based on group membership. Network shares and drive letters are specified in a text file. 3: Display a login prompt. I've almost got this working but there are a couple of problems: 1: Printer assignment works, but the text file must be in alphabetical order... maybe there is a better way to do this? Possibly using a similar loop to the Netwrk Share 2: The network share is not working at all. I had it working simillaly to the printer Sub but noticed the alphabetical problems .

    - Automate Interaction With Webpage Hello, I am trying to automate an interface to this website: http://www.class.noaa.gov/nsaa/products/upload which conforms to the DOM. I have managed to login and to load all document elements into an object collection, but am having difficulties interacting with these elements beyond the .Click() method. 1) Presuming I have loaded all elements on the page into oCollection. I then try to search through the elements Name property to match "uploaded_file" which is the input_file object. iCount = 0 Do Set oElement = oCollection(iCount) iCount = iCount + 1 Loop Until oElement.Name = "uploaded_file" The above code does not work. Is it because some elements on the page do not have a Name property? How to Fix? 2) If I manage to find the correct object will the following code be enough to set the file to upload and move on to the next page? oElement.Value = filename oElement.Click() 3) Is there a more simple way to set/get element name/property pairs that having to parse the entire page? I know the element's name is "upload_file". 4) There are two submit button on the page, but only one is named. How do I find and activate the unnamed one? 5) Is it better to use the Microsoft.XMLHTTP object for my purposes? 6) Can anyone point me to an online reference relevant to what I am trying to do that is more illustrative than the MSDN pages? I do not know exactly what the topic should be. Is it DOM, ASP or something else? I need a gentle primer. Thanks Tag: Monitor opening of particular extension Tag: 200210

    - Create a Folder on the users Desktop Im new to VBS Scripting, and I was assigned the task of converting our batch files into VBSScript since we went to Active Directory 6 months ago. I can map drives and get a user and group membership (I think). But what I am stumped at is checking for the existence of a LINKS folder on the users desktop, and if it isnt there, create it. Then I need to dump shortcuts and links into it depending on group membership. In batch, I can use the %userprofile% command (in fact, here is a snippet of batch that we use...)

    - Inconsistent Results Hello, I have written a vbscript - actually an HTA, which checks to see if a user is a member of an AD group. For some users it will correctly return the correct results. For others it will say that a user is not a member of a group when actually they are. When looking at group membership through the Active Directory snap in it shows the correct membership. At first I thought the issue might be something to do with the Domain Controller the script was interrogating, however looking on those DC's with the AD snap in also shows the correct membership. It is worth mentioning that newer accounts dont seem to return the correct results. The only thing that needs to be changed in the HTA is "strNetBIOSDomain = "DOMAIN"" and replace DOMAIN with your correct Domain name.

    - 2D VBScript Array from a String w/ Record and Field Delimiters I've been struggling with generating a 2D array from a string. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the process or point me in the right direction... The string in question looks something like this: 1[/field]Penguins[/field][/record]2[/field]Skuas[/field][/record]5[/field]Eagles, Golden[/field][/record] I know this is a rather odd string, but suffice it to say its generated to represent a series of records which cannot be retrieved via typical ASP/ADO recordset fashion. The environment is classic ASP using VBScript. I can readily break this up into a 1D array using split(str,"[/record]"). But this yields only the 3 combined sets: 1[/field]Penguins[/field] 2[/field]Skuas[/field] 5[/field]Eagles, Golden[/field] What I'm looking for is a way to make this a 2D array such that: aryBirds(0,0) = 1 aryBirds(0,1) = Penguins aryBirds(1,0) = 2 aryBirds(1,1) = Skuas aryBirds(2,0) = 5 aryBirds(2,1) = Eagles, Golden Unfortunately my searching thusfar hasn't hit on what looping is required to get this 2D result. So far I've tried things like For i = 0 to Ubound(aryCombinedSets)-1 aryNewSets = split(aryCombinedSets(i),"[/field]") For j=0 to Ubound(aryNewSets)-1 aryBirds(i,j) = (aryNewSets(j), j) Next Next But these only generate the last 2 values of the array. That is only the 5 and Eagles, Golden values are retrievable. I have several similar strings. In each case I know how many fields exist, but the number of records varies. In each case I need to make a 2D array so that values can be individually manipulated. Any assistance or pointers in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks!

However the properties "OperatingSystem" and "OperatingSystemVersion" *are* available. Why?. 2) Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/provider_support_of_adsi_interfaces.asp Now, this is a great page because it summarises the fact that in order to get the other IADsComputer methodes and properties, we need to use the WinNT provider, which is detailed at this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/adsi_objects_of_ldap.asp The documentation at this page does not clearly indicate whether the WinNT provider is connecting to the actual physical computer or Active Directory with the WinNT://<domain name>/<server> ADsPath string. Which is it? 3) Using the WinNT provider, the properties documented at this page ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/iadscomputer.asp ) are supposed to be available, but they are NOT. This has me very puzzled; I have checked the "Requirements" but find nothing missing. I have been through the docs time & time again, but something is missing! See below... Example: Set oADSystem = GetObject ("LDAP://DC001/CN=MYSVR,OU=domain_servers,dc=contoso,dc=msft") Wscript.Echo "Active Directory Attributes" Wscript.Echo "ADsPath:" & oADSystem.ADsPath Wscript.Echo "Class:" & oADSystem.Class Wscript.Echo "OperatingSystem:" & oADSystem.OperatingSystem Wscript.Echo "OperatingSystemVersion:" & oADSystem.OperatingSystemVersion Wscript.Echo Set oPhSystem = GetObject ("WinNT://contoso.msft/MYSVR,Computer") Wscript.Echo "Physical Machine Attributes" Wscript.Echo "Name:" & oPhSystem.Name Wscript.Echo "Model:" & oPhSystem.Model Result: Active Directory Attributes ADsPath:LDAP://DC001/CN=MYSVR,OU=domain_servers,dc=contoso,dc=msft Class:computer OperatingSystem:Windows Server 2003 OperatingSystemVersion:5.2 (3790) Physical Machine Attributes Name:MYSVR E:\Temp\adaudit\test.vbs(11, 1) Active Directory: The directory property cannot be found in the cache. (I have a hrd time believing the the server does not have a "Model" attribute. Same error for the other properties: MemorySize, Processor, ProcessorCount, StorageCapacity, etc.) What am I missing? Anyone? Thanks in advance --Maarten Veerman Tag: Monitor opening of particular extension Tag: 200175

    - Using ADO DB to Manipulate Space Character Filled Strings I'm attempting to use ADO to manipulate data in fixed width text files as shown here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/f65b4a7c-eb8c-47f1-ba36-16ad8793026d.asp The issue I run into is that the fields which are all spaces or have trailing spaces end up with the spaces as null. Is there a way to force the OLE DB provider to bring them in as space characters? For example, store 2 spaces if the 2 character field is 2 spaces in the fixed width import file.

    - Best method to figure out if someone is using cached credentials? Hello, I'm attempting to write a script that will figure out if a user is using cached credentials. What I figured to do is find the logon server, and see if it is the hostname of the PC, or not. if so, they aren't authenticating to a DC; if not, they are using cached credentials. The only problem is this will affect local users, who are obviously authenticating to the PC itself as well. Any way to tell if a user is using cached credentials? Thanks, Matt _____________________________________________ Dim objShell, strRegKey Dim strLogonServer, strComputerName Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objEnvProcess= objShell.Environment("PROCESS") strLogonServer = Right(objEnvProcess.Item("LogonServer"), len(objEnvProcess.Item("LogonServer"))) - 2) strComputerName = objEnvProcess.Item("ComputerName") if strLogonServer = strComputerName then msgbox "logonserver is the same" Else msgbox "You have logged on locally.

    - Excel find row data in every column Hi, What I have already is a vbscript that creates and populates an Excel spreadsheet with multiple columns of data. Now what I require is to take the data from each row in the each column, and search the other columns for this data. It then needs to do the same for the second column, and the third, and so on. So if I have columns of data, the script will take data from row 1, column 1 and check to see if that data is in any other cell. It then needs to tell me which column it is in. Once all the rows from column 1 have been searched for, it then does the same for column 2, column 3, etc. Here is what I have so far: The value y has been set elsewhere and represents the number of columns. y = y - 1 i = 4 t = 1 Do Until t = y 'Set range? Do Until objExcel.Cells(i, t).Value = "" strName = objExcel.Cells(i, t).Value Set objSearch = cols.Find(strName) If objSearch Is Nothing Then Else Msgbox y MsgBox strName & " was found." End If i = i + 1 Loop t = t + 1 Loop I am having difficulty defining the range to search at the moment. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    - paging Richard Mueller... Richard Mueller, please come to the front desk Richard, Sorry to bother you but you have helped me in the past when no one else could. I have a seemingly simple task but am struggling and becoming frustrated. In VBScript (that will later be ported to ASP) I need to do the following: Prompt for AD username (must be SAMAccountName) Display that users current Exchange mailbox size in MB Display the size limit imposed on that users mailbox The size limit is the biggest problem. If the user is NOT using defaults, and a custom limit has been set in AD, this should be easy enough to get. But if the user IS using the default size limit for his mailbox store, I have no idea how to first figure out what policy governs his store, and then read the policy to get the imposed limit. If you have an example of this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Tag: Monitor opening of particular extension Tag: 200160

    - write data to Excel spreadsheet? Howdy- I've built some scripts using the FileSystemObject & CreateTextFile/ReadAll/WriteLine methods that take the contents of local logfiles (vendor-produced) and write them to another text file in a UNC path using schtasks. Now, the user wants the output to be in an excel spreadsheet... I don't think changing the format to .csv is going to work; the original logfiles vary between lines with five columns of data and lines with seven or none at all...

You would associate a specific file type with a help application. You
wouldn't "monitor" per say, you would simply call your app or script
instead of the default application. Hope that helps.
