    - Extracting Name Value Pairs Hi I have a long line of text that I want to parse for name/value pairs see example below ( note: - it is a one long line so please remove linebreaks, and - I have replaced tabs with the pipe for clarity) I am trying to regex to extract the name/value pairs; perhaps I could just use a split function (this just occured to me as I pasted the example below. Nevertheless, can i use RegEx to extract name value pairs? the pattern i am came up with (whch I bet could be improved) is Patrn1 = "" Patrn1 = Patrn1 & "\t*([\w]+)\t([\w \/\x22]+)\t*" ' first value pair Patrn1 = Patrn1 & "\{\t*(Alignment)\t([\w \x22]+)" 'second value pair to account for the bracket; I suppose I could replace it with nothing Patrn1 = Patrn1 & "(\t*([\w]+)\t([\w \x22]+))+" 'third value pair, which should repeat but does not... thanks in advance for your assistance.

    - Newbie scripting. Modifying the registry. I have been assigning nic speeds for a couple years on all new boxes that we build in our datacenters manually. I finally got fed up and picked up some vbscript books which have been a great help managing some redunant tasks i must do, but this one stumps me. Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318} Under each subkey there is a string value of "SpeedDuplex" with a value ranging from 0+ 100/full is 4 auto/auto is 0 If the device is not a physical hardware nic, it will not have the SpeedDuplex Key, which is a plus for finding real devices vs virtual/software ones. What I am trying to do is run through each subkey and its strings and change any that have a string of "SpeedDuplex" with a value of 0 to 4. Im not sure about how to loop through all the keys to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thx C Tag: Retrieve Parameter from location bar Tag: 191234

    - cannot pass LDAP query with "/" Hi there, i just need some help with an LDAP Query. I am writing a VB Script that prints out all the members of a Distribution list/Security group, and also prints out their details such as name, email, title, etc for security purposes. I am experiencing a problem when trying to print out the members on a DL called: "All Managers/Directors" The problem seems to be with the "/" in the DL's name, as all other groups without the "/" work fine. The full Distingushied name of the object is: CN=All Managers/Directors,OU=Contacts DL,OU=Distribution Lists, DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx the LDAP Query wont find the object..The ldap query is as: 'use ASCII char "47" to replace "/" in DN strGrp = "CN=All Managers" & chr(47) & "Directors,OU=Contacts DL,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx" Set objGroup = GetObject _ ("LDAP://" & strGrp) objGroup.GetInfo when i run this i get the following error: C:\prntSecGrp.vbs(22, 1) (null): 0x80005000 I have run this with the ASCII char and without, both with no luck.

    - XCopy using If and Then Statements New to this, and I don't quite comprehend something. I need a batch file that copies SPECIFIC files from a Network Directory to C:\123_Software\ folder. @ECHO OFF Rem Copy \\ServerName\123_Software to Clients \123_Software folder. XCOPY \\servername\123_Software\ABCD.EXE C:\123_Software\ /S /E XCOPY \\servername\123_Software\1234.EXE C:\123_Software\ /S /E XCOPY \\servername\123_Software\XYZ.EXE C:\123_Software\ /S /E The difficulty is this: I am tying this to a GPO which works just fine, but I want to ensure I am not sending these files to each client everytime they log into the etwork. As these files are 13.5 MB, 9.5 MB, and 1.5MB. What I need is something that looks to see if File on Client Machine has the same date and time as file on Network, then go to next file. Either a Batch file, or a VBS script will work perfectly. Tag: Retrieve Parameter from location bar Tag: 191232

    - DHCP The snippet below is directly from the Portable Script Center. Works great locally and as a login script (removing the echo's of course). My question is what is the point of the strComputer = "." line? Or rather the "." on that line. I know the "." indicates the local PC, but I've been under the impression that you could enter a remote machines name (on the same network) instead of the period, and the script would apply to that remote machine. However, it doesn't work that way. I've tried other scripts like the reboot script that don't work either. If all the script apply to the local machine anyway, why do we need the strComputer = "." line? Can anyone update me as I appear to be misinformed? --------- strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colNetAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE") For Each objNetAdapter In colNetAdapters errEnable = objNetAdapter.EnableDHCP() Next -------------- Thanks for any help or suggestions! -Steve Tag: Retrieve Parameter from location bar Tag: 191216

    - Receiving error when adding IP printer. A little background: I support about 20 retail locations that all are set up with IP printing.

    - Stripping out nested quotes I have a script that processes a csv file using the filesystemobject method - at the moment, I'm reading in a csv, doing a replace function on certain specific characters, then writing the result back to another file. However, I have a problem in that the csv uses quotes as text delimiters, and some fields contain nested quotes - which I need to strip out. The nested quotes are not necessarily at the beginning and end of the strings (such as ""NAME"") - in theory, they could be anywhere (e.g. "NA"ME"). Obviously each field is separated by a comma, and starts and ends with a quote, which is all as expected - I just need to strip out any other quotes within the fields. Does anyone have a script that would do this? Tag: Retrieve Parameter from location bar Tag: 191151

    - Access is denied error running vb exe from vbscript after SP2 upgr Hi, Since upgrading to XP SP2 I'm getting an "access is denied" popup error message with the following vbscript code in IE 6: ... xxprt = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\abc\prtprog.EXE" window.open xxprt .... This worked prior to the SP2 upgrade and the exe works when run from Windows Explorer it just fails via the browser. When I change the path to : xxprt = "http://localhost/abc/prtprog.EXE" it works except it then gets a "File not found 53" vb error for a file that is in the directory. I've had a look at the security updates for SP2 and tried a few things (eg. adding IUSR_ account to all directories and exe,inserting Mark of Web comment) but to no avail.

    - script for remote desktop I need help with a vbscript to be able to query a fixed list of computers on the network if there are any user logged on thru remote desktop connections and return a result if the computers are logged on or not. As the file and print sharing had been disabled on those computers, so those scripts that I got (using Win32_ComputerSystem etc) are not able to work. Scripts that ping to those computers also doesn't give accurate results, as I'll still get connected results even if no user is log on but the PC is power up. is there any way to do up a vbscript to query like event logs etc for checking if there's any user logged on?

    - CreateObject fails in .VBS script file but works in .ASP file ! Hi, I can't instantiate an ActiveX component in a .VBS script file with this code : set myObject = createObject("ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2") This component is used to send mails and it's really an "ActiveX component". I receive the following error message : "Could not create object named ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2" Note that if I run this .vbs with Cscript or WScript I receive the same error message. I also tried to create object with this code : set myObject = Wscript.createObject("ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2") ... the result is the same. But now, if I try exactly the same code in an .ASP page it WORKS !!!!! The only difference is that I use Server.CreateObject (because it's ASP). This means that : - the component is correctly registered (I checked all the entry points with COM explorer) - all the dependencies are present on the system (I think so...) I'm logged on as Administrator, my system is Windows Server 2003 SP1 (x64) I spend two days searching the web and I didn't find the solution, could you please help me ? Thanks a lot !!!

    - How long a user has been logged on for... I know this is far from a new question but I am looking for a way to determine how long a user has been logged on to a remote XP/2003 machine (either logged on locally or remotely via RDP). I know how to get who is logged onto a machine both locally and through RDP sessions so I don't need any help there. I've tried a combination of Win32_LogonSession and Win32_LoggedOnUser but that didn't work. I'm aware that when a user logs on to a machine in a AD environment it updates the "lastLogon" property for their account on the domain controller but there must be something stored locally on the machine. I base my previous comment on the fact that when you open the "Terminal Services Manager" mmc snap-in and connect to a remote machine it lists the currently logged on users, their session type (Console or RDP), their state (Active or Disconnected), idle time, and their Logon Time. I've done some looking and have had no luck finding where "Terminal Services Manager" get's its information from. If it were possible to use the information that is uses then you would have the logon times for the individuals logged on to a specific machine and it would be trivial to determine how long they have been logged on once you have that tidbit of information. Anyone have an idea or where "Terminal Services Manager" gets its information from or if you can interface with "Terminal Services Manager" via vbscript?

    - Why Use Scripting I know here are millions of wonderful uses for automating with scripts (I use login scripts for numerous things) but I have a question regarding the use of scripts to create/delete AD user accounts. All of the scripts I have seen are really plain and simply create a domain account with no properties set. Not even the full name. It seems pointless to use a script like this as I still have to edit the account properties and fill in the blanks. I've also seen none that will create the associated Exchange mailbox. Since we perform a number of tweaks to a new account I had hoped to use scripting to make is simpler and more consistent. I must be missing something. I would envision a script that sets all the default properties for an account (i.e. disables terminal services) and prompts for input like Full Name, Ext, Fax, etc... as well as creating the Exchange mailbox. Is this too complex or am I not finding these scripts in my search of the web? Comments are much appreciated Tag: Retrieve Parameter from location bar Tag: 191095

    - Excel Application.DDEInitiate fails if invoked from VBScript Hi all, I am very new to VBScripting. I have the following situation, I hope someone could help me out. I have to write the code in VBScript to invoke a macro in Excel, which is available as an XLA file. It has to be a VBScript, since a different program decides which macro should be invoked. It would then generate this VBScript file. The user could then download this VBScript and execute on his computer. All the XLA-macros are making some DDE requests, or opening other Workbooks. If I run the macros from VBA, or Excel, they work fine. But if I try to execute the macros from VBScript: * The DDEInitiate() function in the macro returns "0". * Workbooks.open(....) returns "Nothing". - Is there a way to solve these problems ? - Is there a better way to acheive the same solution ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use the following VB Script to open an XLA and execute a macro. Dim objxl, xlapath, macro Set objxl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlapath = "C:\myxla.xla" macro="myxla.xla!macro1(""param1"",""param2"")" With objxl .Visible = True .Workbooks.Open xlapath .Workbooks("myxla.xla").RunAutoMacros 1 'xlAutoOpen .Run macro End With Within the xla-macro, I try to open another workbook. Public Sub macro1(param1 As String, param2 As String) Dim wb As Workbook Dim url As String url = "http://localhost/test.csv" Debug.Print "Attempting to open : " & url Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=url, UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=True, Editable:=False, AddToMru:=False, Format:=1) If wb Is Nothing Then Debug.Print "Could not open the page: " & url else Debug.Print "Successfully opened : " & url End If End Sub Public Sub macro2(service As String, topic As String, request as String) channel = Application.DDEInitiate(service, topic) If channel > 0 Then result = Application.DDERequest(channel, request) Debug.Print "Result of DDE Request: " & TypeName(result) & " Channel: " & channel Application.DDETerminate (channel) Else Debug.Print "DDE failed to initialize."
