    - SQL and VBS Dont know if this is the right group for this but i'll ask anyway. What u want to achive is a very simple backup solution which copies our daily SQL2000 database files to a network share. This script runs on the server and just does a basic file copy. The problem i have is we have 72 servers we want to roll this out to but i have to change the network path for each one. is there anyway to replace the added code to get the client computers (where the backup files copy to) This setting is held in a table on the SQL server. Can i do a select statment to pick this value with the code below? 'Check to see if the folder exists on the PLUM server Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FolderExists("C:\FSO") Then Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("\\client pc name\c$\database backups") Else Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("\\client pc name\c$\database backups") End If 'Copy the Database backup files to the PLUM server dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fso.copyfile"D:\BACKUPS\*.*", "\\client pc name\c$\database backups\" Tag: Retrieving current time from remote servers Tag: 197453

    - Removing quotes from a test file Hi, is there a function or simlpe way I can parse a value and strip the quotes from it? Example. I'm reading a CSV file, for some text fields (like a Display Name with spaces in it) the whole field is surrounded with quotes ("). so when I get the value, the quotes are part of the string itself: varName = "John Doe" I can imagine some ways of removing the quotes (like using SPLIT or MID) but is there a specific function for doing this?

    - GPO script to create new System DSN Hi, I am having trouble with a GPO Login script that is suppose to create a new DSN connection for a SQL database, and it gets pushed to 700 plus PCs in a WAN, that are either XP Pro SP2 or Win2000 SP?. Here are the first five lines of the script, and it seems to error out on the 5th line, for some users, but when connected as with and install admin account (that pushes nothing) and run from explore, it accomplishes what it needed. Sorry I don't have the error, but it says something about the driver location. Can someone tell me is there a better way to write that line, or even this whole process?? OR can anyone tell me what they think might be the cause of an error like this, that only happens for some users, and then works for admin Dim oWshShell Const cRegKey1 = "HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\NewSQL\" Const cRegKey2 = "HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources\" Set oWshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") oWshShell.RegWrite cRegKey1 & "Driver","C:\%systemroot%\System32\sqlsrv32.dll" Tag: Retrieving current time from remote servers Tag: 197414

    - Modifying AD users with an INPUT file HI all, what I am trying to do is modify users profile tab properties with an input file. The input file holds the User account names where as the script will just be hardcoded with the changes. I have a scirpt that queries group membership based on user input and then generates a file with all users in that group. Here is an example of the file. HS1USER1 HS1USER2 HS1USER3 HS1USER4 HS1USER5 Now I I am trying to get a script that will modify the user profile tab for the users in this file.

    - basic help to run an application from WSH hello, Apologies for such a basic question, but I've looked everywhere and nothing is helping. I'm just learning vbscript for wsh and here is my first script, saved in file "<file>.vbs": Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "<file path of file.vbs>" Where <...> is a full file path such as "c:\documents and settings\[...]" etc. When I run this by selecting the file I always get a Script: <script file path> Line: 2 Char: 1 Error: THe system cannot find the file specified. Code: 80070002 Source: (null) However if I just move the file to c:\, so the path is "c:\<file>" the file opens. Also if I cut and paste the exact file path from the script into the Run box on the start menu, the file opens. Any help with this? Many thanks.

    - Using a Variable To Run A Function Dear VBS Experts, I'm trying to do something that I'm not sure is possible, so any experienced input would be helpful. Basically, I have a web app that is designed to accept user input. Based on the input, several variables are sent to a central coordinating function (the vbs code will either be on the ASP page itself, but more likely part of a COM+ object). One of the variables that will be passed to this coordinating function is a number that represents a certain piece of code that needs to be run against the remaining variables. However, I want the code to reside in seperate .vbs files that are not part of the application. The central function reads an .ini sub task file that will show (based on the number in the first variable) the path to the .vbs file to run when processing the input. It probably sounds a little crazy already, but my purpose in this special case is so that I can keep the actual source code (for a growing and dynamic list of functions that I call sub-tasks), completely seperate from the ASP application and any COM+ registered modules. My delimma is to find a way to effectively call the individual .vbs files, run them against the variables that were passed to the coordinating function in the ASP page, and return any results from these .vbs files to the ASP application. So far, I don't know of any way that I can use a returned result from a function (such as the path to the .vbs file returned from the sub task .ini file) to run another function by name, even if it was a registered COM+ object. So it seems that my only alternative is to call the .vbs files and run them against the variables using the shell command. In doing so, is there any way that I can return any error codes generated by the various .vbs files that run? For example, if I shell the variables to a CreateADGroup.vbs file from the coordinating function, is it able to return Active Directory specific error codes or will it only return general error codes related to the shell? Any other ideas in ways of running, what you might call "off-line code", from a sentral code function would be helpful. My only requirment is that the actual task specific code be located in seperate .vbs files that do not require them to be registered in COM+ modules. In some respects, running these sub tasks in seperate threads has some advantages in terms of distributed processing etc. If anyone has some thought on how I can accomplish this, I'm all ears.

    - using AbsolutePosition to take an action Suppose you have a recordset, and a table where you show all the "lines" of the recordset. But you don't want to show a record, let's say the first. Or maybe you want to show an additional text for that record (including a new "<tr></tr> before the record for example) No matther what the action would be, the thing is to make an action. My idea was: If pobjRs_LinInc.AbsolutePosition = 1 Then ' action End If But it does'nt work.Well, I just can't figure out how to use correctly this property.

We switched to an internal Exchange Server, at the time we also switched the default setup for e-mail addresses; for example asmith@xyz.com went to andrew.smith@xyz.com. I've configured exchange to accept both. Some of our users have contacts in Outlook with company contacts which still list the old style e-mail addresses. Is it possible to write a script to go through individuals contact information and change these to the new setup? If, so can you give me some pointers? Thanks, Andrew Tag: Retrieving current time from remote servers Tag: 197341

    - No HTA status messages until the end Hi. I'm writing an HTA that is mapping driveletters to shares. I want to see progress for each mapping, ie. success or failure. At present, all status messages are written to the GUI, but this is done simoultaneously, at the very end. I want to see status messages after each drive mapping attempt, before the next drive mapping is attempted. How do I accomplish this? Here's the script: <html> </html><head> <title>HTA</title> <HTA:APPLICATION SINGLEINSTANCE="yes" WINDOWSTATE="normal" </head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript"> Sub Window_OnLoad call UpdateStatusWindow("<b>Starting drive mappings</b><br><br>") Call MapDrev_HTA("o:", "\\server\bla1") Call MapDrev_HTA("p:", "\\server\bla2") Call MapDrev_HTA("q:", "\\server\bla3") call UpdateStatusWindow("<b>Finished drive mappings.</b><br><br>") 'other tasks will come here...

    - HTA not updating progress Hi, I'm writing an HTA that is mapping some driveletters to server shares. I want to see progress for each drive-mapping (success or failure for each). So, after each drive mapping, the sub 'UpdateStatusWindow' is called. This sub is supposed to write status text to the HTA's GUI. However, the status text isn't written until the script has finished all the drive mappings. How can the status text be written to the HTA's GUI after each drive mapping? Here's the script: <html> <head> <title>HTA</title> <HTA:APPLICATION SINGLEINSTANCE="yes" WINDOWSTATE="normal"> </head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript"> Sub Window_OnLoad call UpdateStatusWindow("<b>Starting drive mappings</b><br><br>") Call MapDrev_HTA("o:", "\\server\bla1") Call MapDrev_HTA("p:", "\\server\bla2") Call MapDrev_HTA("q:", "\\server\bla3") call UpdateStatusWindow("<b>Finished drive mappings.</b><br><br>") 'other tasks will come here... End Sub Private Function MapDrev_HTA(TM_strDrive, TM_strShare) UpdateStatusWindow("Mapping " & TM_strDrive & " to '" & TM_strShare & "'...") Dim TM_objDrive Set TM_objFSO = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemobject") Set TM_objNetwork = Createobject("Wscript.Network") On Error Resume Next Err.Clear If TM_objFSO.DriveExists(TM_strDrive) Then Set TM_objDrive = TM_objFSO.GetDrive(TM_strDrive) If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear MapDrev_HTA= False Exit Function End If If CBool(TM_objDrive.DriveType = 3) Then TM_objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive TM_strDrive, True, True Else MapDrev_HTA= False Exit Function End If Set TM_objDrive = Nothing End If TM_objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive TM_strDrive, TM_strShare If Err.Number = 0 Then MapDrev_HTA= True UpdateStatusWindow(" success.<br>") Else Err.Clear MapDrev_HTA= False UpdateStatusWindow(" <span style=""color: red;"">no success!<br></span>") End If On Error GoTo 0 Set TM_objNetwork = Nothing End Function Sub UpdateStatusWindow(TM_TilfTekst) StatusWindow.innerHTML = StatusWindow.innerHTML & TM_TilfTekst End Sub </SCRIPT> <body> <table STYLE="Height:400; Width:700; border: 0px solid black;"> <tr><td id="StatusWindow" STYLE="vertical-align: top; border:1px solid black; background-color :White;"> <b>Status</b><br> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> -- Regards, Thomas M.

    - ado connection.execute "syntax error" Help! I am having a strange error creating a vbscript that needs to perform some simple database lookups using ado. I have written many scripts successfully with oracle and this is my first with sqlserver, although I don't think this is the problem. I have narrowed my scsript to 4 lines. The problem is most likely something so simple but I just don't see it. The script fails on the execute line with a syntax error on the 5 char. if I comment out the execute line the script completes with no errors. this is the following scsript >> set conn = createobject("adodb.connection") connectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=Coltrane;Initial catalog=Pubs;Integrated Security='SSPI;' conn.open connectionString,,,-1 set rset = conn.execute("select * from employees") >> thanks john Tag: Retrieving current time from remote servers Tag: 197332

    - How do I use the ExecQuery statement Hi everyone, I lifted the following script from the script centre and modified it to locate a specific host from DNS. I was wondering if this was the most efficient way because it takes quite a while. Can I modify the ExecQuery to return fewer records? strComputer = "tempsvrname" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & _ "\root\MicrosoftDNS") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from MicrosoftDNS_AType") For Each objItem in colItems If objItem.OwnerName = "servername.domain.com" Then Wscript.Echo "IP Address: " & objItem.IPAddress End If Next I tried:- Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select IPAddress from MicrosoftDNS_AType where OwnerName = servername.domain.com") But it wouldn't run and the error message which happened at the start of the for loop wasn't very helpful.

    - NEED HELP with how to do a projection calculation I am fairly new to working with ASP pages and using VBScript, so I hope this can be done. I have to create two different projections. The first one assumes that there is 5 or more years before retirement and takes the (annual salary x percent increase) and projects the salary for the numbers of years difference between current age and selected age, then takes the last 5 years and divides the total by 60. Example: Person is 50 and age selected to retire is 56 Number of years to project = 6 Year 1 Projection = ANNSAL * PCT Year 2 Projection = Year 1 * PCT Year 3 Projection = Year 2 * PCT Year 4 Projection = Year 3 * PCT Year 5 Projection = Year 4 * PCT Year 6 Projection = Year 5 * PCT Total = (sum of Year 2 to Year 6)/60 The second one assumes that there is less than 5 years to retirement and projects the number of years like above and then adds (a database fieldx12) for the additional years to total 5 years. Example: Person is 53 and age selected to retire is 56 Year 1 projection = ANNSAL * SAL_INC Year 2 projection = Year 1 * SAL_INC Year 3 Projection = Year 2 * SAL_INC Year 4 Projection = Ave 60 from DB * 12 Year 5 Projection = Ave 60 from DB * 12 Total = (sum of Year 1 to Year 5)/60 Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am looking for a simple way of retrieving the current time from
remote Windows NT/2000 servers using vbScript. I am presently using the
Win32_LocalTime class to retrieve the current time from Windows 2003
servers, but have found that this class is not supported on Windows
NT/2000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, another option would be to use the WshController object to
execute a script on a remote machine, using the built-in VBscript date
functions to retrieve date/time or whatever you need. Hope this helps!

Win32_OperatingSystem is supported on W2K and has a LocalDateTime in WMI
date/time format, e.g. LocalDateTime => 20061011165454.048000-420
