    - Error Handling Hopefully this should be an easy one for someone. Does anyone know how to revert back from the "On error resume next". I want to be able to at a certain point turn this off and then back on and so on. Thanks Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 195064

    - Everyone wants money for their code... Why? Coming from the world of OSS I'm abit confused while I'm trying to learn Visual Basic Scripting. It seems everyone wants money for code to do things I'd assumed were built-in features. For example, I'm trying to write a script to query an MS SQL database and print the details, and in research I found a script which does almost this -- except it emails the results instead of prints them. I thought, what a wonderful thing to have, so I started working with the script to learn VBScript. Here's the site: http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=5908 Well it appears this script uses code from a company called ServerObjects http://www.serverobjects.com/ which wants money to use their ASPMail program. The example mentions another company which also wants to dip into the wallet to use their code. I've ran across this while working in Sharepoint also, and it seems all the many features I assumed Sharepoint and now VBS would have outta the box but doesn't have been written by third-party companies who want a good chunk of change to add. For me while learning and experimenting I can't shell out money everytime I want to learn how to do a new programming task. Why does it cost to get this code? Why don't more open source programmers write and share wonderful code as they do in other areas of coding? I'm seriously trying to learn more Microsoft programming languages, but it seems every bend in the road someone wants to dip into my wallet. Sorry for such an email, but it is quite frustrating... Thanks for the listen, and I promise I'm off my soap box :) Just had to ask though. Alex Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 195060

    - Printing data from MS SQL to various printers Hi everyone, I'm a seasoned programmer, but I've yet to touch VBScript. I want to write a script that will query a database and print contents to a printer based on entries within the database. So for example I'd have the following printers setup on the workstation: \\printsvr\marketingptr \\printsvr\hrptr \\printsvr\itptr And the database might have a table similar to this: PrinterName ContentBody marketing THis is a test message for Marketing hr THis is a test message for Human Resources it This is a test message for Information Technology When the script runs it will parse the database table and print the content to the specific printer. This is of course a simple example, I'll probably have a table linking the PrinterName to the Printer UNC, but you get the idea of what I'm trying to do. I have no working knowledge of VBScript, so I'm not even sure if this is possible, or if so what commands I'll need to use. If someone has a script that does this, I'd love to take a gander, but if someone can point me in the right direction with commands to research, that'd be wonderful. The two components I know I need are a component to hit the database (which is Microsoft SQL 2000) and a component to print to the specified printer (which will all be setup on the local workstation). Thanks again for any assistance... Alex Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 195058

    - WMI not starting when joined to the domain Hello All, Whenever I try to run a script on a PC that's joined to my domain it will return an error: "Permission denied: 'GetObject'" I am a local administrator on this box so it shouldn't be a problem and scripts do work when i'm not on the domain. Another thing i've noticed is that once joined to the domain I can't browse the WMI control in the computer management console. Any help will be appreciated.

    - Assigning Default printers to clients using AD and vbs I am running a Server 2003 and Win XP network, for a school, and we used to use BAT files on the client machines to specify printers for each PC depending on their room. However I am now trying to move all of this over to vbs scripts applied by group policies to the machines. I have set up OU's in active directory for each of our computer labs, and have placed the PC's from each lab in those OU's. I am then appllying the script qouted below, to the "user configuration \ windows settings \ scripts \ Logon" part of a Group Policy to each computer lab OU. If i run the script locally on a PC it works fine, but it will not set the printer for me when I log on to a machine. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong would be great. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- set wshNetwork = CreateObject ("WScript.Network") 'deletes all network printers Set clPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections On Error Resume Next For i = 0 to clPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2 wshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection clPrinters.Item(i+1), true Next On Error Goto 0 'maps new printers. wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\print\H11Print" 'sets default printer. wshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\print\H11Print" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 195052

As long as I hardcode the propertyname (for example objWMI.Manufacturer) everything works fine (displays Asus). However, what I would like to do is use a variable containing the value "Manufacturer" and use that instead of the hardcoded propertyname. Simply put I want something like objWMI.strKeyName.

    - Creating a class to open a ssh tunnel Hello NG, I have searched the net for some answers, but nothing that was written for a pure VBS. What we have: Several servers from customers connected via firewall to our support-environment. We only may go there using RDP or SSH for filetransfer. We have some scripts, written in VBS, that collect data from a server and send them direct to a MS SQL Server. These only work if port 1433 is open though the firewall. Now we have some customers, that permit 1433 throug the Firewall and many hwho would like to remove this rule. What I now need to do is do define a Class in our VBS, which opens a SSH tunnel and lateron closes it. It needs to be pure VBS, there may not be any third-party DLL or anything, the customer cannot read in clear text -we wouldn't get approval for this. We are using openssh server version 3v8 on both sides (ssh.exe). Can somebody help me with this class. I have found many exambles using visual basic but non of them were usable in vb script. thanks in advance Carsten PS: i think of something like this: class sshtunnel public function openit() ....blablabla... end function public function closeit() ...blubblubblub... end function end class set tunnel=new sshtunnel tunnel.open() ...many lines doing something with the tunnel... tunnel.close() Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 195021

    - connect to network drive I have used this batch file format in the past to connect to network drives. Even people who are under two different server clients, ie. Novell and Windows Active Directory (AD). For some reason this time it is not authenticating the user name. Just some background so you might be able to understand what the problem is.. User in different location and a Novell client but has access to AD. For performance, the application was placed at the same location but on an AD server. The "aa/" d user domain may be different then the server. The IP addresses for the two locations start with different #'s. Does that matter? Also the users are part of a group and have a generic password set for the whole list of users. net use y: /d net use y: \\XXX.XX.XXX.XX\Folder /user:aa\dez1 P@ssword any insight would be great. thanks Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 194995

I don't believe that cmd.exe will be involved at all for some ways that you script could be started. i.e wscript scriptname.vbs <some arguments> from start/run will just start wscript.exe directly.

    - File permissions Hi! :) Until now I've used SetAcl.exe for setting permissions but I would like to learn to do it by myself now. (SetAcl.exe works fine for most things but a lot of the time you have to map a drive for it to work over the network though it sais it should work with UNC paths and then there's the problem with having to bring the exe file whereever you go...) Any tips on where I can find information om how to set permissions with only vbs and what's built into the os'es? I think I searched on it a while back but only found bad sites without examples. I guess what I'm looking for is really a few good examples. Thanks a million! :) /Sofia Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 194950

    - Batch file or VB script for more automated USMT? I have created individual batch files for scanstate and loadstate where I edit them for each user. I have to manually change the user name, manually change the file name of the batch files I create for each user, and manually name the share name and location where each user's data is saved. Is there a way to make this much easier, such as a batch file or VB script that simply prompts you for the user name and the site (user name entered at the prompt then being used to automatically choose the username for scan state and load for loadstate, as well as create/name a directory based on user name to store the USMT data. Site name entered would determine from what location scanstate and load state executables would run and where the data files would be saved so that it always saves the data to the local site of the user rather than across a WAN). Basically I want an interface that is very simple and prompts: Are you collecting data from the old PC or loading data to the new PC? (A or B) Which site? (4 choices) What is the user name? The person running the tool should only need to run the tool, enter the answers to those 3 prompts. They would run it from the old PC to collect the data, wait for the data to be saved to the network share, then run it at the new computer to load the data. It would great if it at least show a message saying loadstate or scanstate is in progress and then show when completed sucessfully. I doubt I could be the first person to think of this, so maybe something like this has already beeen created or else can someone help with this? Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 194940

    - RegExp Help Hi, Ok, this may be stupid on my part, but I hate asking for help since it is an affirmation that I am not as smart as I think I am.. Anyhow...I wrote a ADSI script that automates the creation of distribution groups. Sometimes users provide illegal or unsupported characters for the name of the group so I need to escape the characters in order to Put the distinguished name of the object. Most likely the name that is provided will only have one of these characters. I just don't understand the matches object well enough to use firstindex, etc...Here is some sample code I have. Thanks for any help provided. strData = "my+test?hel>lo" Set regEx = New RegExp regEx.Pattern = "\+|\?|\>" regEx.IgnoreCase = True regEx.Global = True Set Matches = regEx.Execute(strData) For Each match In matches StringToReplace = regEx.Replace(strData, "\" & match.value) Next Set regEx = Nothing WScript.Echo StringToReplace Output: my\>test\>hel\>lo Intended Output: my\+test\?hel\>lo Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 194938

    - VBScript and MSOffice Is it possible to harvest all the fieldnames and 1st line of data from all xls and mdb's using vbscript? The reason is to verify a company computer does not have SSN's or bank account or checking account files, or cc numbers on it. A policy might be in place but to actually audit hundreds of machines would take months, and by then I would need to audit again! To find all the files is easy, but to make things simple I would want to gleam all the data into a csv file with the machine name, filename and path in case you found one you would know where it came from. Is this out of the range of reasonable for vbscript? Tag: WMI - Rename Network File Tag: 194919

    - Creating a Link Checker So my boss has been killing me about creating a link checker, what I need to know is there a sample script somewhere to get me started on creating a checker? Basically we have a ton of links and want to check if they are valid as in not hardcoded, not sure I want to check if the link is actually working cause that might not be an easy thing to pull off. Reason I am doing vbs is cause we cannot install anything on our server and running something client side is not dependable. With a vbs file I can just schedule it and produce a report and email it to myself or anyone else who needed to see if there were broken links. Any leads to good example scripts?

If I set the iTest variable to 1, my script renames a file called
"c:\temp\myDatabase.mdb" to "c:\temp\myDatabase.bak". However, if I set my
iTest variable to 2 and try to rename
"\\myComputer\c\backup\databases\myDatabase.mdb" to
"\\myComputer\c\backup\databases\myDatabase.bak", nothing happens. No errors
come up, but the .bak file doesn't get created.

Does WMI have a limitation of not being able to rename networked or UNC path
files? Is there a workaround? I can't use the FSO method because of
virus-warnings, so I'm trying to find a WMI Script to rename a network file.
