    - Removing and adding printers I'm moving our printers off the old file server and onto a new print server appliance. I'm using the scripts from this page: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/printing/client/default.mspx The problem is that I want it to delete all printer connections coming from \\serverA. And create new ones to shares on serverB. I don't mind having to specify in each script which printers to add, but I don't want to assume to know which printers the computers currently have installed. I just want to delete ALL connections to the old server. This is the script I have now, but it has to be set up knowing which printer is currently installed. And worse yet, after it runs once, the printer is deleted. Then when you run it again (at login) it gives you an error because it can't find the connection. If I could just remove the error from being displayed, then I could just list ALL of the printers from the old print server in the script and that would cover me. Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection "\\serverA\printer01" Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\serverB\printer01" WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\serverB\printer03" WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\serverB\printer03" Tag: Removing and adding printers Tag: 190150

    - Archiving website logfiles I have a server (our main production one, with several websites on it) that I want to archive the logfiles on. I have a script obtained from here: http://www.iisfaq.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2809 running on another server, that is also a production server, but with much less traffic on it.

    - Excel Sheet manipulation from VB Hello, The situation in my code: VB has reached the last row for data entry in an excel spreadsheet's current worksheet. Prior arrangement requires me to start data entry on a new sheet. The task I need to accomplish: Get VB to copy the current sheet (then I can blank out filled cells to start afresh), or (preferably) open the blank template, and copy out the empty sheet to existing .xls file (move to end). Then finally, I need to close the .xlt and set focus on new sheet in .xls. Also, I need to just switch easily between sheets inside the .xls. I've copied below the required code in VBE: Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\MyTemplate.xlt", Editable:= _ True Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Workbooks("MySheet.xls").Sheets(1) ActiveWindow.ActivateNext ActiveWindow.Close Anyone have some ideas about converting the above to VB?

I know the string value (IP address of the WINS servers), and I can actually do a reg compare to see if the servers are configured with the proper WINS servers, so I guess I'm just curious if anyone has been able to figure this out...

    - Simulate (fake) drag/drop + button click behavior using VBScript Hi all, I would like to write a script to automate some task, but this task requires the use of a GUI based application that can only use its GUI for input (so no command line parameters). This GUI application is not mine, and I cannot change it in any way. Let's call this GUI application GUIAPP. The script would go over a list of files (this I can do myself :-), and for every file, the following should happen 1) have the script fake a drag and drop of this file on the GUIAPP (so that it accepts the file as input) 2) the script has to click the ok button; this button triggers a "Save As..." window 4) the script should fill in some string of my choice for the file name 5) the script should click the "Save" button This must be possible using OLE, I would think?

With the latest camera's, file sizes and 2GB cards the process is becoming very slow. I have been looking around for a better component to use in my asp pages. At the moment I am using 'dImage'. I have tried a few others but they run at the same speed. The process I am running creates small thumbnails and saves them to disk before displaying them through the browser. This way if they are required for view again the thumbnail does not have to be created again.

I'm moving our printers off the old file server and onto a new print
server appliance. I'm using the scripts from this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/printing/client/default.mspx

The problem is that I want it to delete all printer connections coming
from \\serverA. And create new ones to shares on serverB. I don't
mind having to specify in each script which printers to add, but I
don't want to assume to know which printers the computers currently
have installed. I just want to delete ALL connections to the old
server.

This is the script I have now, but it has to be set up knowing which
printer is currently installed. And worse yet, after it runs once, the
printer is deleted. Then when you run it again (at login) it gives you
an error because it can't find the connection. If I could just remove
the error from being displayed, then I could just list ALL of the
printers from the old print server in the script and that would cover
me.

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection "\\serverA\printer01"

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\serverB\printer01"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\serverB\printer03"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\serverB\printer03"
