 - Unable to run vbscript at system startup Hello, I am trying to execute following script at system startup from SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Now the problem is this script does not have exit/end if as it is meant for monitoring due to this startup is waiting for the script to end - which will never happen. If I run this script from user login everything works fine - but when the user logs out the script also gets terminated. I tried using batch file from within I called the vbs file but the batch also gets stuck at the vbs prompt and does not quit. I know I am missing something here but what?

 - Need to reed data into a script I have a script that installs a TCP/IP printer port and shared printer. The script works fine. (See Below) However I need to install over 100 different printers to my print server. All the printer speciffic information I need is in an Excell spread sheet, (Port name, IP address, Driver name, Printer name, Share name, Location, etc. ). I want to run this script and have it create all my printer ports and printer shares. I know I will have to change the printer speciffic data in the script to variables, but I am not sure how to have the script read the data form either Excell or a .CSV file.

Select * from Win32_NTDomain where DomainName='MYDOMAIN' From this information, I use the DcSiteName to automatically configure the local machine (long story). Anyway, this works fine - I can grab the domain controller site name under windows XP, but this won't work for Windows 2000. This is true, according to the scripting pages on Microsoft.com. So basically, im asking if there is a way I can find out the DC Site Name under windows 2000, using VBScript? Thanks in advance, Simon Tag: Renaming Group Mailbox Tag: 187806

 - Trying to write a program that would collect images received as email attachments Hello, Desperately, I am trying to find a way to write a program that would collect images received as email attachments and save them to a specific folder with a changed filename into whatever was the subject of that email. There would be one image per email. Here is how I think it would work: (1) Receive an image in email attachment. (2) Retrieve the image from that attachment. (3) Change the name of the image file into what was written in the Subject of that email. (4) Save the renamed image file into a specific folder. (4) Delete the received email I have done some research and found that the application would need to interact with MAPI. Could you please tell me if you have seen any similar programs written in VBScript somewhere on the internet, or could you give me some very specific advice or directions. P.S. I have my own Windows 2003 server, and can install anything on my server if I need to. Thank you, Vanessa Lee Tag: Renaming Group Mailbox Tag: 187793

I can write bytes and such to the comport by treating it like a file (substitute "COM1:" for the "test.txt"), so the next question is can I get the contents of the input buffer by reading the open file before closing it.

 - Script to compair two files Help? Hi I am trying to write a Windows 2003 Server logon script to compair two files ("file1" and "file2"), if the files are different (say in size) then I need to replace "file2" with "file1". The algorithm is: if file1 "is different" from file2 then Overwrite file2 with file1 (a simple "copy file1 file2" will suffice) Is there a simple way to do it using a script (VBScript) so I can run it when the user logs on? My VBScript knowledge is NIL, I have no problems compiling a Visual Basic program to perform the task, but would like to see how it can be done using a script. Any help would be appreaciated.

 - Incidental Factiod: pertaining to ConnectObject/GetRef in Class Code A year ago, I posted a question/complaint about the apparent lack of support for "ConnectObject" or "GetRef" in class code. I had been attempting to instantiate a class from within an actX object and then connect with events fired by that class (not the actX object itself). This works well enough in "main line" vbs code, but not (as best I can tell) in class code. I recently tried to do the same thing, and failed again (groan!). I even searched this ng, and found my previous disgruntled posting. Then I remembered something, i.e., that you can refer to the current instance of class code as "Me", within the class. It occurred to me that "Me" might be equivalent (or even identical to) "GetRef". A "GetRef" gives you an object whose default member calls the routine which you specify. Likewise, if "Me" is a reference to the current instance, then if one refers to "Me" in code, then one will also get a call to the default member of "Me". Cut to the chase. This did work the way I expected it would, and I was then able to (in effect) do a "GetRef" in class code. Here is an example (although referring to a proprietary actX (oSCO) which is setting a "CBT Hook" to detect window openings). When it detects a window opening, it will call me back with the information: --- <snip> --- ' set an "ole callback" for the hookproc... Set oSCO.SetCallBack = Me ' reference to the default member of THIS instance ... ' this is "my hookproc" (called from real hookproc embedded in sco)... Public Default Function myHookWndFunc(uMsg, wParam, lParam) ... ' and this is the "real" hookproc located in the actX (oSCO) object. ' it will intercept the hookproc calls and refer them back to script. Public Function GenericHookProc(ByVal ncode As Long, _ ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long Dim oCallBack As Object Set oCallBack = m_oCallBack ' the ole callback GenericHookProc = oCallBack(CVar(ncode), CVar(wParam), CVar(lParam)) End Function --- </snip> --- Note: there is no documentation about "Me", other than another obscure ng posting by mikHar, way back in 2000. As an "undocumented- and-unsupported" feature, one might justifiably be cautious about using this, because in the past microsoft has abruptly "corrected" (i.e., removed) other undocumented-and-unsupported features. The "good news" is that it will probably take an "act of congress" for microsoft to ever do any further maintenance or support for vbs, so it is extremely unlikely that "Me" will ever go away anytime in the foreseeable future. cheers, jw Tag: Renaming Group Mailbox Tag: 187721

The stored procedure itself is a simple query with an input and output parameter.

I can't display the output parameter. I tried to use: Set rs = rs.NextRecordset wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters("@Return_Code").Value wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters(1).Value That doesn't work. I then tried to close the recordset: Set rs = rs.NextRecordset rs.close wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters("@Return_Code").Value wscript.echo oCmd.Parameters(1).Value To no avail. I did set nocount in the stored procedure. I can get either the output data or the recordset data so the stored procedure is returning the data to my script.

 - RePost: Problem handling Date Comparison in VBScript I had posted the following earlier. However, the help I got did not resolve the problem. I appreciate any advise/help to resolve the following. Thanks in advance. I have a html form with few fields. The fields are claim number, month, day and year. Actually the month, day and year together forms the claim date. There is also a variable named QuarterEndDate which contains the quarter end date value which happens to be 12/31/05. Now, before submitting the form, I need to do some validation check. The first validation (which I cannot get it to work) is that the claim date should be less than the Quarter End Date.

 - ocx permission denied I've updated an ocx (using VB6) that is currently being used in an asp 3.0 application. I created an internet package(using VB6) containing the ocx and corresponding dll's. I then placed both the CAB and support files on my webserver. I also registered the dll's on the web server. I updated my asp script to reflect the new object's classid and version#. When I call the asp page I receive an alert "permission denied" when it calls the ocx. If anyone could provide some feedback on how to overcome this issue I greatly appreciate it. I also created a very simple ocx on my local machine complied and saved to my system32 dir. I tried using it on my local machine in an asp page; when it call the object's method on this com thru a windowonload event I received a prompt "object doesn't support this property or method"?

 - Inconsistemt Results From ADSI We're using a VBScript as a logon script on a Windows 2003,SP1 server. We want to test Group Memberships and are using the sample code from the Server Help as follows: Const RM_205_G = "cn=rm_205_g" Const RM_212_G = "cn=rm_212_g" Const RM_206_G = "cn=rm_206_g" Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "h:", "\\WS_1\vol1\Users\" & wshNetwork.UserName Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & ADSysInfo.UserName) strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf)) msgbox(strGroups) If InStr(strGroups, RM_205_G) Then wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "j:", "\\10.147.0.2\vol1\shared\rm205g" End If ... and so on. The problem is that the data inserted into strGroups is very inconsistent. For example, with administrator, all applicable groups are displayed in the msgbox command while for almost all other users some group memberships are omitted or no groups are displayed at all. In those cases where group memberships are retrieved properly, the applicable mapping commands complete as expected. We have no other issues with AD. Nothing seems to be broken. Any ideas why we're seeing this? Thanks! Tag: Renaming Group Mailbox Tag: 187660

Your organization uses an Excel spreadsheet to change user information.

Great. How many leading members in your organization?

3 or 4 ?

200 ?

Must be copycats along yahoo / msn / google dragnet.
