    - Disable a Device through Script All Using Windows Server 2003 and able to enumerate all devices through WMI script, however I am stumped as to how I can disable a device through a scripting interface. ie same functionality as through Opening Device Manager, selecting device, right click, select disable. I have used devcon previously when I have needed this functionality within XP and 2K machines, but hoping that new functionality has been exposed within 2K3 ? Any ideas ?

    - HTA script executed even when named as .txt on web server I have a file named test_hta.txt which has <SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "VBScript"> strSomething = Inputbox("Type something: ") </script> When I put it on Apache web server and use Internet Explorer 5 or 6 to access it through http://server/test_hta.txt, I'm still prompted to enter something in the inputbox. Is there a way for the browser window to just show the content as plain text instead of executing the script? Commenting out the line or lines makes the screen blank. Not what I want either. Other browsers such as Netscape don't have this problem. Thanks. Yong Huang Tag: Please Help: Adding Windows Printer with Authentication Tag: 161856

    - Event Log Dump Parsing I am using dumpel.exe to dump several domain controllers' security event logs 3 times per day. We generate numerous large .evt files due to required corporate auditing mandates. Now I need to write a vbscript that will allow me to parse multiple .evt files, looking for any user activity for a specified user across several days, for example. I have the need to put this into a fully automated script, for various reasons, which as far as I can tell rules out eventcomb, as it appears to require the GUI interface to run interactively. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to parse these .evt files? I haven't yet found any utilities other than eventcomb that allow me to even search a flat .evt file. If you have suggestions, or think dumpel or eventcomb may still work, please provide an example of the syntax of these could work given my scenario. Thanks!

    - Error extracting innerHTML using DHTML in an HTA page I have an ASP application that returns data requested by the user in various formats. Currently it returns the data as an Excel file that can be displayed or saved. I have added the feature of returning the same data in XML format, either as a Data Island or as a file download. My intention is to allow the user to save the XML data either as a file or load it into the local SQL Server database (at the Client side. It has been suggested to me by Microsoft MVPs in various newsgroups that the Data island is the preferred method of delivery. However I am running into a problem. Most of my customers run a VB6 application written by me with a Browser Control that allows the Scripting FileSystemObject to extract the innerHTML of the XML data and save it to file or Database. I am trying to do the same thing with DHTML in an HTA page, for those customers that don't subscribe to the VB6 application, but wish to use the ASP site. The HTA application however is generating an error that I can't seem to solve.... Error: Object required: 'objXML' Note: The page is completely loaded into the browser, because the code is called from an OnClick event from a button that is the last control loaded in the page, well after the XML Data island is created. Below is the source code from VB6 (that works) and the HTA code that generates an error. The line flagged is: strHTML = objXML.innerHTML Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? If the Data Island is the preferred method of delivery, how do I go about committing it to disk or SQL Server (at the Client site) without using VB6 code? If I can't find an answer soon, I will resort to file download and then deal with file-handling issues that might make it difficult for the user and myself, such as making sure the file is placed in a specific location that can be accessed easily for loading into SQL Server. --- VB6 Code that works properly on the XML data island --- Private Sub GetXMLData() As Boolean Dim objDoc As Object Dim objXML As Object Dim strHTML As String Dim ts As Object, fs As Object Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ts = fs.CreateTextFile("PCardTest.xml", True) Set objDoc = Me.PCardBrowser.document Set objXML = objDoc.All("pcXML") strHTML = objXML.innerHTML ts.Write strHTML ts.Close End Sub -- Script Code in HTA page that generates error -- <SCRIPT language=vbscript> sub saveTOfile() Dim objDoc Dim objXML Dim strHTML Dim ts Dim fs Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ts = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\temp\PCardTest.xml", True) Set objXML = document.all("pcXML") strHTML = objXML.innerHTML ts.Write strHTML ts.Close end sub </SCRIPT> Thanks for your help......

The page http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489 is very useful, however, I would like to be able to use InternetSetOption() function within a VBScript so I can get the same functionality as the old style link.

    - 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...

    - 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: Please Help: Adding Windows Printer with Authentication 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. Does anyone have an idea or a solution for me Regards Tag: Please Help: Adding Windows Printer with Authentication Tag: 161788

    - Displaying xl-worksheets in IE Hi I have a application whith three frames. In the third frame ("Results") I want to display an excel-generated report (the report is generated through VBA macros, which run when the template is opened (auto_open sub), collecting the data from an SQL Server). Normaly, in Excel, the template creates an instans of itself (resultning in an .xls-file). I want my application to do the same, that is, I want the template (xlt) to create an instans (xls), load the data into the xls-file and then display the xls-report in the fram "results". I'm quite new to VB-Script and I've only manged to come up with the following code, in report.asp: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server> Dim xlApp Dim xlWb Dim xlSheet Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\data\report.xlt") Set xlSheet = xlWb.Worksheets(1) xlSheet.Name = "Report1" xlApp.Visible = True Set xls = Nothing Set xlb = Nothing Set xlapp = Nothing </Script> This doesn't work. I think I don't get any error messages, though, and the CPU on the server is working for about 5 secs, so I think the report is generared but not displayed on screen(?). Excel 2000 is installed on the server. Can anyone help me please? Regards PO Tag: Please Help: Adding Windows Printer with Authentication Tag: 161778

    - 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.

    - 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: Please Help: Adding Windows Printer with Authentication Tag: 161732

Hello,
I am trying to add a network printer via a vbscript but the printer server
requires authentication. If I just run:
wshnetwork.addwindowsprinterconnection "\\samba\hpintel"
I get the "Permission Denied" error message.

For some reason the addwindowsprinterconnection function doesn't accept any
username\password arguments while the addprinterconnection function (not
windows) does accept such arguments.
I also tryed using the addprinterconnection function as in:
wshnetwork.addprinterconnection "LPT1", "\\samba\hpintel", true,
"cs\avivgur", strPassword
The script completes without errors but no printer is added to the "Printers
and Faxes" window.

Is there any way to apply a username and password for authentication with
the printer server and to have the printer appear in the "Printers and
Faxes" window?

Thanks in advance,
Aviv
