    - File Copy with FSO I am doing a file copy using the FSO and have recently started seeing a condition being met. The copy job copies DB logfiles from one server to another but checks for the LastModifiedDate and if it is the same as well as the size of the file is the same, the script goes onto the next file. If the sourcefile is newer than the target file, it copies the sourcefile to the target location, overwriting the targetfile. However, I am also catching if the targetfile is newer than the sourcefile and this is where my problem is. I am finding a number of files where the targetFile's LastModifiedDate is more recent by 1 second. The Month, Day and Year are all the same, and not recent, but the time is 1 second newer. If targetFile is being modified by my script, I would expect the modified date to be more recent than it is -- the time of the copy. This exact script is running on a number of log files copy processes but this is the only one I am having this issue with. Has anyone seen this issue happen when doing file copies?

    - I need a script (pref VB) to change permissions on a folder in multiple folders. I need a script (pref VB) to change permissions on a folder in multiple folders. Example, imagine users home directory, so a folder contains all the users. Each user has a folder inside their home directory called 'examples'. I need a script to search for that folder inside each users home directory and change the permissions to 'read, list folder contents' Can this be done? This is not being done on users home directories but this was the best example I could give. Or imagine their are 10 folders named 1 to 10. inside each folder are 5 folders named A,B,C,D and E. I want a script to search for the folder named 'D' and change the permission on that folder only. Tag: Remotely shutting down a Vista PC. Tag: 211319

    - UserAccounts.CommonDialog alternative for Vista? I sell an application that supports vbscript in it's forms, and on some I use UserAccounts.CommonDialog to display a File Open dialog so a user can select a filename. On Vista, this functionality is not available. My question: is there an alternative for Vista that does not require distributing any additional controls? Some background info: My searches so far revealed that the following alternatives are available, none of them are very appealing -Using MSComDlg.CommonDialog, which requires installing the Common Dialog control, which is subject to licensing -Using SAFRCFileDlg.FileSave, which also requires installing an additional control, and which is deprecated and not originally intended for use in scripting in the first place. -Using Choose File HTML File Control Object, a workaround that (ab)uses IE, that I find inventive but very ugly.. tia, arno Tag: Remotely shutting down a Vista PC.

    - Troubleshooting an attempt to open connection I need some help with troubleshooting. When I execute my vbs script in a DOS environment it runs OK. But when it is called by an asp calling client, it does not work and does not indicate why. I put some tracing statements to find out where it errored and it echoes Point1 and Point2 but never reaches Point 2A. So I guess the open connection must have failed. 1. What should I do to handle a connection error? On error resume next seems strange... 2. Is my connection open statement incorrect? What should it be? 3. Again I'm confused when all players are vbs scripts, it runs OK. When an asp client calls it, it simply does not work.

    - Encapsulating Objects in Objects? I have an AppHandler class that I want to encapsulate other handler classes (GuiHandler, WmiHandler, etc.) as public properties of the object, so they can be used like this: Set oApp = new AppHandler oApp.NetworkHandler.PingIp sIp AppHandler, when created, would dynamically load and create the encapsulated objects. The concept works fine when applied to something like the native FileSystemObject: Dim oApp: Set oApp = new AppHandler If ( oApp.FileHandler.FileExists("network_handler.class.vbs") ) Then MsgBox("It works!") End If where FileHandler above is a public variable set in the Class_Initialize method: Set FileHandler = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") But in trying to extend this concept to my own classes, I'm running into problems. The following works (add_module dynamically loads the file using ExecuteGlobal): Dim oApp: Set oApp = new AppHandler oApp.add_module("network_handler.class.vbs") Set oApp.NetworkHandler = new NetworkHandler But if I try to internalize this within a public Load method that calls this private method: Private Sub m_load_network_handler add_module(m_nh_path) Set NetworkHandler = New NetworkHandler NetworkHandler.debug = debug NetworkHandler.print_d("NetworkHandler child object loaded") End Sub I get an error: "Class Not Defined: NetworkHandler". I've tried a few workarounds, but nothing has succeeded yet and they tend to lead me away from my original concept. Can someone point out my error to me? Is there a scoping issue with ExecuteGlobal being used inside a private method? Thanks, Tom Tag: Remotely shutting down a Vista PC. Tag: 211224

    - Verify existence of computer object I'm writing a script that will allow a Help Desk user delete an Active Directory computer object prior to its re-imaging. My script binds to the containing OU then calls the Delete method of that OU, naming the computer object to be deleted. The script works fine. My question regards error-handling in the case that the computer object has already been deleted from Active Directory (say, the user already ran the script). The default error message is verbose, but probably a little scary to a non-scripter. I've been trying to find a way to verify the existence of a computer object BEFORE attempting to delete it so that I can include my own error message.

    - Detect shutdown type I have a shutdown script through Group policy that does some tidying up and defrags the hard drives before allowing the shutdown to complete. However if a user is just doing a restart this is a real pain. Is there anyway to detect that the user has selected shutdown and not restart? Thanks Huw Tag: Remotely shutting down a Vista PC.

    - Script To Determine If A Workstation Is Up I have a script that verifies who is logged on to a remote workstation (by checking for the explorer process and checking the owner). I check for an error on the query which will tell me if the machine is not up (or at least not on the network). It is working pretty well, but in the case of a workstation not being up it can take a minute or two to fail and then report that the machine is not up. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a faster way to determine if a machine is up or not. Currently I am checking the error status of a line that reads like this: Set objWorkStation = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strWorkStation & "\root \cimv2") Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    - VBScript, OpenTextFile(), Strings and Unicode - Possible? Hi, I've written a VBScript to manually update the version number in an AssemblyInfo.cs file. But all I get from the ReadAll() function is rubish. The string I'm assigning the function result to only contains loads of empty squares when watched from within Visual Studio Debugger. I can't even write the string back without modifications into the AssemblyInfo.cs file. Visual Studio shows only a bunch of Chinese characters when opening the saved file. (Perhaps the result of a new espionage attempt by the Axis of Evil? :) ) Moreover, I cannot modify the string. To VBScript the string doesn't seem contain anything near to a valid character. Can anybody help me on how to access and save the Unicode file's content from within VBScript?

I would like to export the names of the organisational units into a CSV file and then get all the data from within everyone of those organisational units in one go without me having to put the actual name of each organisation unit I want to export.

    - Determining Permission Inheritaance I have a very large shared folder, 68GB - 10,000 sub-folders - 115,000 files. For the past few years permissions on this share have been controlled by the share owner. Needless to say the permissions are a mess, there were no groups created so users have been added directly to folders at various levels. I have been tasked with cleaning up the mess with very minimal impact to the users. I tried writing a script to determine permissions using <see below> but, due to the size of the share, the script isn't practical. I need to write a script that can look at inheritance and output a list of permissions that are not being inherited from the parent. Basically something that shows me where permissions are explicitly granted. Is this possible or am I stuck with an impossible task? SE_DACL_PRESENT = &h4 ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE_TYPE = &h0 ACCESS_DENIED_ACE_TYPE = &h1 FILE_DELETE = &h010000 FILE_READ_CONTROL = &h020000 FILE_WRITE_DAC = &h040000 FOLDER_ADD_FILE = &h000002 Thanks in Advance.

    - Create Object of an Application type and invoke on Remote Computer Hi Friends, Badly need help in this case, I have a software installed on a remote computer and I want to create object of that application type and invoke it on that machine from local machine. I was successfully able to modify DCOM object on the remote machine to allow connection.. here is what I achieved.. I am able to create object and invoke the application on the remote machine only if I have the same application installed on the local machine. If I dont have that application installed on local system then it gives me Active X cannot Create Object. Dim qtApp Set qtApp = CreateObject("Application","Remote_Machine_Name") qtApp.Launch qtApp.Visible = TRUE The above code works only if I have that application installed on my local machine. I also tried using remote Scripting object and placed the code above in the remote mahine into a file called remote.vbs. I am using the code below to run the remote.vbs on the remote machine..... Set objController = CreateObject("WshController") Set objRemoteScript = objController.CreateScript("C:\remote.vbs","Remote_Machine_Name") objRemoteScript.Execute It gives me the same error ActiveX cannot create Object and sometimes doesn't even throw any object. Is there any COM/DCOM changes that I need to do .. would really appreciate ur comments Thanks Tag: Remotely shutting down a Vista PC. Tag: 211150

Is there a way to remotely shut down a Vista PC through a script?

I have two PCs on my network. I run Windows Small Business Server 2003 on
one PC and Vista Ultimate 64-bit on the other and the Vista PC is part of the
SBS domain. I have a UPS that's managed by SBS. When the UPS is about to
shutdown SBS when it's battery is low, the UPS management software has the
option to run a batch file on SBS. I would like to invoke a script from the
batch file to forcefully shutdown the Vista PC.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

Why run a script from your batch file if you can invoke shutdown.exe
directly from within the batch file?
