    - Word- boilerplate text merging? I searched this group, but still can't find relevant answers. Is there an easy way to build a Word document based on a template where I can pick which boilerplate text or images to insert in the given fields/spots? I found an add-in to Word from ActiveDocs that is very nice but very pricey. It also seems to do more than I need. I thought that maybe a VBA script could handle the steps. All I need is a function that pops a dialog box where I can on the fly select the right bits of text from a database or maybe txt files on the hard drive. Is there an existing script that will do it, or alternatively a less expensive program than ActiveDocs? TIA Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188934

    - Countdown Script! I am looking for some help with a script to bascically count down time. After about 27 hours I want the script to notify the user with a message to remind them to log off. It will be a logon script which initiates every time a user logs in. Can anyone help with this. I don't want to use wscript.sleep because it is just to crude. Is vbs to weak?

    - reading file names, processing them, renaming them Hi, I am wondering if anybody can help me with vbscript code for the following operations: The script should read all the file names from a folder one by one (lets say the folder name is c:\test). For each file name read a process has to occur (I have the script for the process I need). After reading the file the file needs to be moved to an "OLD" folder (c:\test\old). Then move to the next file.... etc. Thank you, Carly Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188917

    - Class or WSC? I'm working primarily in vbscript with wsh. I have wsf files that do various tasks for me. The wsf files use fn/subs stored in separate .vbs files by using <script> in the wsf file. The code is growing and I'm finding the need from my .vbs files to call other fns/subs. Up to this point I've used a combination of ExcecuteGlobal, wshell.run and wsf files to pass/return parameters and call routines. I'm wondering now if I should put all my functions/sub into a class or a wsc and just reference this one file in all my wsf programs. The class/wsc would have some disparate functions, but it seems to suit the purpose. Should I? Which one, class or wsc? Why? Are there other options to solve my problems? If you too have question about passing values I highly recommend looking at Torgeir Bakken's post: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.wsh/msg/9ebc58d1b5f5c51f He mentions wsc, but not a simpler class. Why? One of the drivers of my problems is my need to create a cental place for storing constants. I reference many network paths and I want a central place to be able to easily make changes. My initial solution was a text file to hold the constants and a function that uses ado to look up the values of named constants. But my architecture of calling vbs files from wsf files didn't work well since now my vbs files needed to call another vbs function that looked up the constants. You can't call wsf files from wsf files. I've looked at wsc and type libaries, but is this overkill for my need to grab some constants? Thanks in advance!

    - Does WMI have to be installed on Remote Computer? Hello. I'm new to WMI, learning as I go. I have a script which is supposed to check disk space on a number of remote computers. Sometimes I get an error number back, without a description: -2147217405. After looking around here, it seems that that means permission is denied, or it might mean that WMI is not installed on the remote computer. I'm not sure which. Which brings up the question - does WMI need to be installed on the remote computer in order for a script which uses WMI to work? I would have thought it wouldn't since the script is not being run from the remote computer. Does it? Another question. If -2147217405 does mean that permission is denied, I just want to be clear about what exactly that means. Sometimes that error comes back, but I can log on to that computer and look at the disk space through a remote desktop connection. So if permission is denied, how can that be? My script is below, just in case someone had questions about what I am doing. And just on a side note, constructive criticism is very welcome.

    - Question regarding shelling out of an HTA to invoke an EXE I have written an HTA program to facilitate the addition and deletion of DNS host records using Microsoft DNS. The hypertext make the program user friendly but the really work is being performed by the imbedded VBScript code and the DNSCMD.EXE program. Currently, the VBScript sets up some oshell.run statements involving the DNDCMD.EXE and the program works fairly well. My question is this..... Is there another commands other than oshell.run or oshell.exec to invoke a command line (non-GUI) program and pipe the output of the program directly back into the HTA? Here's what I want and don't want...... I don't want to have to deal with piping output to temp or permanent files. I want the DNSCMD program to run completely in the background. I want the output of the DNSCMD program to be it's directly accessible to me from memory, not in a file that I would have to read. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    - IE7. Any word about the affect on vbs. A recent blurb in pcMag says that IE7 is much more secure than IE6 ever was, and the major means by which the "improvements" were achieved was by stifling scripting and actX objects. Further, it went on to say the IE7 would most likely "break" (does that mean render inoperable?) a vast number of websites, and "break" an even vaster number of intRA-net web applications (leading one to presume that intRA-net apps make a greater use of scripting than the public websites). The conclusion was that microsoft was frantically distributing IE7 betas (or release candidates?) so that their customers could reprogram their websites and their internal net-based apps to conform with the requirements of IE7. It is understandable that microsoft would want to stifle scripting, those evil and malicious scripters have been giving everybody agita. However, the customary advice given here to anybody who wishes to have a scripting GUI is to script yourself up a suitable dialog using the automation interface to IE6. So finally, here's the question. Are all those scripts (or hta's) going to be "broken" by IE7 also??? cheers, jw Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188871

    - Folder/Sub-folder contents to a DB Hello all, just wondering if I can can get some help here. My company just purchased an EMR (Electronic Medical Records) system and we need to perform a mass scanning offsite. The vendor is asking us to scan patient files this way. The top folder is the patient account number the sub folders contains the tabs where we want the files to be stored on the EMR database and then inside of these sub-folders we will be scanning all the files. What I need to do is to create a script that can monitor a Hard Drive for all top folders (Account #'s) and all sub-folders and files and store the folder names and file names into a databse for each top folder (account #). Each database entry will need to have the account#, Tabname, filename. Once Everything is scanned and the databse knows the location of all the files we will then give an .csv file to the vendor with all the databse entries plus the hard drive for a complete import to their system. I've looked everywhere to see how can I accomplish this. So basically I will be creating folders manually on the Hard Drive conataining the patients account#, the sub-folders containing the tab names and then inside of the sub folders that's where the scanned files will be. As for my database for the mass scanning it will be an Access or SQL db containing only a table with pt_account,pt_tab,pt_image. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the asp I'm using: <html> <head> <title>Result of Database Query</title> </head> <body> <h1>Result of Database Query - ASP/VBScript</h1> <% set myconn = server.createobject("adodb.connection") connection = "helpdesk" myconn.open (connection) set result = server.createobject("adodb.recordset") result.PageSize = 50 sql = "SELECT id,create_date,lastupdate FROM ooz_tickets" set result = myconn.execute(sql) if not result.EOF then response.write("<p>Data:") response.write("<table border=2><tr><th>ID<th>create_date<th>lastupdate<th>newcd<th>newlu") while not result.EOF response.write("<tr><td>" & result("id")) response.write("<td>" & result("create_date")) response.write("<td>" & result("lastupdate")) oldid = result("id") newcd = DateDiff("s", "01/01/1970 00:00:00", result("create_date")) newlu = DateDiff("s", "01/01/1970 00:00:00", result("lastupdate")) response.write("<td>" & newcd) response.write("<td>" & newlu) result.movenext() wend response.write("</table>") else response.write("<p>No Entry for " & request("place")) end if %> </p> </body> </html> Line 25 is: newcd = DateDiff("s", "01/01/1970 00:00:00", result("create_date")) I'm assuming DateDiff() can't handle numbers greater than some specific value. How can I get around this, or is there a different way to convert the date values to epoch? TIA Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188837

    - PopUp from LocalSystem Hi, I have a scheduled task which has to run as LocalSystem. Basically the program allows me to specify "another program" to be ran before the actual program begins (not confusing if you think about it). If the called program's return code is an error, the scheduled task won't start. The idea is to have a message box displayed to the user, and if the user chooses to cancel the operation or if it "times out", then the task won't start. I already did the trivial message box vbscript, which works fine if ran from the same account of course: displays message box, in case times out, and returns 0 or 1.. My "little" problem (and I come here after having searched almost everywhere) is that the message box is not displayed at the user (as the program runs from LocalSystem and not as the user) and therefore it always returns the timeout. Do you have any indication on how to solve this, or even a direction in which to point me? Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Marco Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188835

    - Making Startup Script Visible I have created a VBScript that runs interactively/visible as a Windows startup script via Domain Group Policies. My script calls CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") to display a form and everything works correctly, but Windows is waiting for the script to finish before displaying the login window. I can run another script and quit the first script to get around this, but anything started by the following means is not interactive/visible, even if it is forced to be visible by all means that I have tried. I can keep the first instance of Internet Explorer open, but is there any way to connect to that instance of Internet Explorer from the second script, or is there another way to start the second script similar to CreateObject? These do not work: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "WSCRIPT.EXE """ & WScript.ScriptFullName & """" & " /Start" 'Set objStartup = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup") Set objConfig = objStartup.SpawnInstance_ objConfig.ShowWindow = 5 objConfig.PriorityClass = NORMAL Set objProcess = GetObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2:Win32_Process") ScriptPath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, InStr(WScript.ScriptFullName, WScript.ScriptName) -1) errReturn = objProcess.Create("CSCRIPT.EXE """ & WScript.ScriptFullName & """" & " /Start", null, objConfig, intProcessID) Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("WSCRIPT.EXE """ & WScript.ScriptFullName & """" & " /Start") -- a178235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.codecomments.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188832

    - adding user to AD Hello ! I have a small but very anoyning problem. The helpdesk I work for is makeing a mess in the add when creating users. There is allways a problem when there is some new user added to the domian. Sometime there is userhomeshare is wrong, wrong wrights on homeshare server, homeshare on wrong server, wrong loginscript and so on....... I am looking for a good, smart way to let the helpdesk create users. I thought of a script that could make such thing. But I do not know where to start. Do I really need to envent the wheel agin ? Perhaps I am not alone in this world and someone els has made such a script before me. I thought of a script that add a input. The input should be 1 First name 2 Last name 3 networkloginid Then the script would no everything els. Everthing the same. Like what server the user has as homeshare folder. Login script should all be the same. Password set to "password4me" as default to all users created by the script. The user account enabled. Well, do You see my point and do You understand what I am trying to accomplish. Any advice and direction to the correct soloution would make me happy.

    - Printer Usage I have a Print Server having more than 400 defined LPR print queues. I know there are many that are no longer needed. I would like to find out when was the printer object last used. For example if a particular queue has not been used for more than an year, I can remove it from my server. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188825

    - How to make a dynamic file name? I have a simple script that does what I want except that it saves the file as a predetermined static name each time it's run. I need to change it so it gets the computer name, adds it to the output and also saves the file as the "computername."txt so each time it runs on a different machine it would be easy to identify which machine it came from without having to manually rename the file. Here is the code: Const OpenAsASCII = 0 ' Opens the file as ASCII (TristateFalse) Const OverwriteIfExist = -1 ' file where result is to be saved sFile = "c:\apps.txt" sComputer = "." ' use . for local computer Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set fFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(sFile, _ OverwriteIfExist, OpenAsASCII) fFile.Write InstalledApplications(sComputer) fFile.Close Function InstalledApplications(node) Const HKLM = &H80000002 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Set oRegistry = _ GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & node & "/root/default:StdRegProv") sBaseKey = _ "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\" iRC = oRegistry.EnumKey(HKLM, sBaseKey, arSubKeys) For Each sKey In arSubKeys iRC = oRegistry.GetStringValue( _ HKLM, sBaseKey & sKey, "DisplayName", sValue) If iRC <> 0 Then oRegistry.GetStringValue _ HKLM, sBaseKey & sKey, "QuietDisplayName", sValue End If If sValue <> "" Then InstalledApplications = _ InstalledApplications & sValue & vbCrLf End If Next End Function What would need to change so the results are saved as the name of the computer it ran on instead of apps.txt or any other static name?I searched around the Microsoft scripting site and could not find an understandable answer. I found another script there that did a similar software inventory, except it had even worse output. It outputted to pop-up dialog boxes instead a written file.

    - Connect to db via VBScript? Is it possible to connect to a MS Access (Mdb) database file from a html page and write some records in the html file using Document.Write(myRec) etc. The db file will be located in the same folder as the html file. Lets say the database is a Telephonelist and I want to be able to read it from a html page located in a shared folder. I suppose you would use ADO and SQL? A very short example would be very much appriciated. Thank you so much in advance. Sincerely Jan PS. I know a little ASP but that is not an option here. Security is not important in this case.

    - Enumerate ODBC Data Sources on all computers and write to file I am not a programmer, but in preparation for a SQLnet rollout, we need to poll the computers on our network to determine what ODBC definitions they have. To get ODBC connections, I believe we'd need a means of enumerating the values of these two registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ODBC/ODBC.INI/ODBC Data Sources HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/ODBC/ODBC.INI/ODBC Data Sources Is there any way, perhaps with VBScript, to gather this type of information and write it to a file? If you're aware of any code that has been written to accomplish something like this, I'd certainly be most appreciative! Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188814

    - Disable local account I created a local user, that I addd to the local admin group. So outside of the local admin account, I've also got another account in the local admin group. Lets call it localA. My question is once the pc is added to the domain, and a person logs in with a domain account, I want to be able to remove the account called localA. How do I script that out? I was thinking of putting a script in the default users startup, that will look for my FQDM and if it detects it, then it will remove the localA account, and delete itself. I just need to know how I can delete that localA account.... the rest I think I can handle Thanks Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188808

    - ADO and NDS I am using the following script to perform and LDAP query using ADO. The LDAP server is Novell Netware 6 with eDirectory 8.6.2. The query runs below returns all the attrubutes and their values when I use LDP.EXE. The query in the VBScript below finds the object and enters the While loop, but I receive a Type Mismatch error when I try to retrieve the Value property. TypeName tells me the Value property is a Variant() type. VarType tells me the Value property is 8204, which is an array of Varriant Ubound(objUser.Value) tells me there are 0 items in the array Value objUser.Name returns "sn", which is correct. Set cnnLDAP = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set rstLDAP = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") cnnLDAP.Provider = "ADSDSOObject" cnnLDAP.Open Query = _ "<LDAP://192.168.10.11/o=org>;(mail=bburns@ix.netcom.com);sn;subtree" rstLDAP.Open Query, cnnLDAP While Not rstLDAP.EOF set objUser = rstLDAP.Fields.Item(0) wscript.echo TypeName(objUser.Value) wscript.echo Ubound(objUser.Value) wscript.echo VarType(objUser.Value) wscript.echo objUser.Name rstLDAP.MoveNext Wend rstLDAP.Close cnnLDAP.Close Does anyone know why I am getting these results? Could this be an issue with Novell's LDAP server? I have the Novell LDAP service running in Compatibility mode. Do I need a specific option set to retrieve the attributes? Thanks for any help.

    - collect contact information I am not a programmer, only network and systems admin who knows enough to be dangerous. I would like to collect information such as addresses and phone numbers from end users and save the results to a database. I will ultimately import that data into Active Directory. I am using a Kix Script that contains some VB and uses WMI to collect hardware information and save it to a table in an SQL database. I would like to collect information such as addresses and phone numbers from end users and save that to the SQL database as well. Can someone help me with the following. Here is my logic: 1. Detect the username at login and match it to the username field in SQL database. 2. If address and phone number are blank than pop up a form for them to fill out. Clicking OK will save the fields to the database. Also register the date the form was filled out. 3. If address and phone number are NOT blank. Verify if it is older than 90 days. If it's older, pop up the form. if Not, continue through the script. thanks! Brian Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188788

    - Script is not working? Hello All, Sorry for the cross post but i realized it was int he wrong forum... Anyway, I seem to be having trouble with this script...In fact it is not working so I would say that is more than a little trouble. I am looking at it and cant figure out why it is not able to run successfully thru GPO but when it runs locally I am able to execute. Any insights? I am trying to use group policy (logon script portion) to copy files into the Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft \Word\Startup folder. The actual files which i would like to copy exist on the root drive on the same machine but I have not been successful with the following script ; ON Error Resume Next Dim obj, strUser Set obj = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strUser = obj.UserName Dim strPath strPath = "c:\Documents and Settings\" & strUser & "\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.CopyFile "c:\Program Files\App1\teris.dot" , "c:\Program Files\App1\teris1.dot" objFSO.MoveFile "c:\Program Files\App1\teris1.dot" , strPath Thanks in advance, Altria Tag: Retrieving and Converting Octet String in VBS Tag: 188781

Hi All,

How can one convert an Octet String attribute to decimal using VbScript?

The particular attribute I'm looking at is msExchSmtpRelayIPList - an
attribute of the SMTP virtual server object in Exchange.

I've gone through the ArrayConvert kba
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=250344), have the Ads.dll from the kba
installed/registered, but had little success with this.

Perhaps there's another way or function someone's using to do this... ?

Thanks!

Resolved for now using ArrayConvert - but not very clean.

Would like to find out if there's a clean(er) and simpler way of doing this.
