    - Trouble with UserAccounts.CommonDialog and Multiple File Selection Hey y'all, I've been reading and reading and I can't get this to work. I want to select multiple files from a dialog and then do stuff to them. Here's the code I am using: Sub Command1_Click() Set objDialog = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog") objDialog.Filename = "" objDialog.Filter = "All Files|*.*" objDialog.Flags = &H200 + &H80000 + &H200000 objDialog.ShowOpen FileNames = Split(objDialog.Filename, vbNullChar) MsgBox FileNames(0) MsgBox FileNames(1) End Sub Result: After running this and selecting two files, FileNames(0) contains the path and I get an error at MsgBox FileNames(1) saying it is out of range. Suggestions? Lost and Hopeless, Drew Tag: Preventing interruptiong of Logon Script Tag: 200219

    - 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 . Any help with this would be greatly apreciated. I have pasted the code below to the script... it is long.

    - Copying email attachments to a specific folder Is there a way to set up a script that will look in a folder (in Microsoft Outlook), and do the following: 1) See if there's a message in it (a rule is already set up to copy messages from a particular sender to that folder). 2) If it's there to copy the attachment to a specific folder on my Windows 2003 server. 3) Rename the attachment with that of the subject line. 4) Delete the e-mail from the folder.

    - 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: Preventing interruptiong of Logon Script 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...) Echo Checking Links Folder... IF NOT EXIST "%userprofile%\desktop\Links" MKDIR "%userprofile%\desktop\Links" copy "\\DCSERVER\NETLOGON\LINKS\*.*" "%userprofile%\desktop\Links" How could I make this into a logon script? This is one of the first commands I use. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked for a VBS Snippet on the net (Microsoft, VBSScripting.com and many others) but could not find this. I can't believe I'm the only one who wants to do this during login. Seems pretty basic to me that an Admin would want to do this (at least in a K-12 school environment). Anyway Please help me...

    - 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. Here is my HTA: <html> <head> <title>HTA Helpomatic</title> <HTA:APPLICATION ID="objHTAHelpomatic" APPLICATIONNAME="HTAHelpomatic" SCROLL="yes" SINGLEINSTANCE="yes" WINDOWSTATE="normal" > </head> <SCRIPT Language="VBScript"> Sub RunScript strGroup = group.value strGroupText = group.value strUser = user.value Const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3 Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3 Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1 Dim objTrans, objShell, objGroup Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") strNetBIOSDomain = "DOMAIN" Set objTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate") objTrans.Init ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, "" objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strNetBIOSDomain & "\" & strUser strUserDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779) objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strNetBIOSDomain & "\" & strGroup strGroupDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779) 'msgbox struserdn 'MsgBox strGroupDN 'MsgBox """" & "LDAP://" & strGroupDN & """" 'strGroupDN = """" & "LDAP://" & strGroupDN & """" strGroupDN = "LDAP://" & strGroupDN 'MsgBox strGroupDN Set objGroup = GetObject(strGroupDN) objGroup.GetInfo arrMemberOf = objGroup.GetEx("member") StrCompare = struserdn For Each strMember in arrMemberOf intCompare = StrComp(StrCompare, strMember, vbTextCompare) If intCompare = 0 Then MsgBox "User is a member of the " & strGroupText & " group",,"Group Information" Exit For End if Next If intCompare <> 0 Then MsgBox "User is not a member of the " & strGroupText & " group",,"Group Information" End If End sub </SCRIPT> <body> <font color="red"> <face ="Times New Roman"> <H1 align="center"font color="red"> Is User Member of Group </H1> <font color="blue" face="Times New Roman" size="4">User <input type="text" name="User" size="25"> <font color="blue" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Group <input type="text" name="Group" size="25"> <br> <br> <input id=runbutton class="button" type="button" value="Get Info" name="run_button" onClick="RunScript"> </body> </html> Many thanks for any assistance, Ben Tag: Preventing interruptiong of Logon Script Tag: 200194

    - 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!

    - IADsComputer [adsi] interface using vbscript conundrum Can anyone please help me figure out what is missing from this Microsoft documentation? 1) Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/iadscomputer.asp I have worked through the fact that the LDAP ADSI provider does not support the IADsComputer interface; the documentation claims that "The IADsComputer interface is not implemented by the LDAP ADSI provider". 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.

    - 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: Preventing interruptiong of Logon Script 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...

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!! Thank you!

2. Expand Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System /
Logon
3. Double-click Always wait for the network at computer startup and
logon.
4. Enable the policy and press OK.

Am i looking for the users' gpo or the machines?
Does this mean I shouldn't have the script in Netlogon folder and tell
the user object, through the profile tab to run logon.vbs for example.
Does the script need to be part of the gp or can it be called by the
user object?

Thank you!
