 - WMI DNS Query returns Nothing I'm having a lot of trouble with a script that populates a collection with DNS records via a WMI Query. Our site has 65000+ A type records so dumping the lot into a collection takes some time so I use a LIKE statement, see code below. The problem is that my query returns nothing. The problem only occurs if I use a LIKE statement within the MicrostfDNS namespace. The same query using a different namespace, like Win32_Directory, works fine. Can anyone have a go at this for me? It's driving me insane. I'm running this query on an XP [5.1.2600] box and the DNS server is Windows 2003 Ent. PLEASE help. Thanks heaps. Code: strDNSServer = "<snip>" '-->Create Objects Set objRSDNS = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strDNSServer & "/root/MicrosoftDNS") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From MicrosoftDNS_AType Where ownername LIKE 'ABC%'") Msgbox colItems.Count Tag: Retrieving extended attributes of the file (like Explorer detail v Tag: 214416

 - Vista Special Folders When I attempt to backup folders in Vista, I get the "permission denied" error below when I try to access a user's special folders like "Desktop" and "Start Menu". I can successfully backup the folder "c:\users\myUser1\documents" for "My Documents", but "Desktop" and "Start Menu" return the error. I even tried creating a shortcut to %windir%\System32\wscript.exe and the script name, then modifying the shortcut properties to "Run As Administrator", but my script quits when it gets to the special folders mentioned above. Is there a way to run a .vbs script file and allow it to properly read these special folders and copy them?

 - Compairing Dates My script runs and compairs two dates as follows: if filelastaccessed >= mystringrep then (turns into 1/22/2008 1:28:24 PM >= 1/22/2008 1:14:00 PM) msgbox "woot" else msgbox "moot" end if Every time that I try this I'm returned false. Since 1:28 PM is obviously greater then 1:14 PM, why is this occuring? My full script follows, and yes, I know that I'm doing this backwards but it's faster then learning regex for vbs at the moment.

 - How can I enumerate services and list the account context under which Hi all. I'm in the process of trying to head up an initiative to become PCI compliant. We have a hodge podge of servers running, many of them legacy and being fairly new to the corporation, I have no idea what services are running on these servers and what accounts those services run under. I'm looking for help on a script to not only enumerate what services are running (have a script for that) but what I'd really like is a script that will also tell me what account each service is running under.

 - Classes and Arrays - Novice question I'm a novice programmer who is new to the concept of Classes in VBScript, and I'm hitting a dead-end trying to implement a function in my application. Below is a very detailed description (bear with me!) of my app and the issues I'm running into. My app collects player data from a computer game server (COD4 Modern Warfare is the game), stores the raw data in a mySQL database, and then calculates and presents player stats via .asp pages using VBScript. So first I came up with a data structure to store the stats as I do all my calculations. For each player, I calculate about 30 different stats, e.g. total number of deaths, total number of kills, kill ratio (kills/deaths), time played, kills/hr, number of kills using a pistol, number of kills using a rifle, etc. The tricky part is that for each statistic, I also need to calculate and store the "rank" of that player for that statistic (e.g. player1 ranks # 2 in the number of kills, #3 in kill ratio, etc.). So here's the basic data structure I came up with (showing just two of the stats for brevity): ------------------------------------ Class StatisticClass Public Value Public Rank End Class Class PlayerClass Public playerID Public killCountStat Public killRatioStat Private Sub Class_Initialize Set killCountStat = new StatisticClass Set killRatioStat = new StatisticClass End Sub Private Sub Class_Terminate Set killCountStat= Nothing Set killRatioStat= Nothing End Sub End Class ------------------------------ Then I create an array of Players, for example: Dim Players(1) set Players(1) = New PlayerClass So I can store and manipulate the data for each player like this: Players(1).playerID = 12345 Players(1).killCountStat.Value = 99 'Player 12345 has 99 kills Players(1).killCountStat.Rank = 3 'Player 12345 is ranked #3 in kills I've written the logic for a function RankStat to take an array of stat values for players and calculate the corresponding rankings for those values. I want to call this function for every stat I am storing in the player object, so after I calculate a particular stat (like killcount) for all the players, I can call the function to rank that stat for all players, then move on to the next stat. Here's the problem - I can't figure out how to pass the data to the function call and specify which stat I am trying to rank. Conceptually I want to call the function for a particular stat object in the Players object - Rankstat(Players.KillCountStat). But of course this syntax doesn't work - since Players is an array of objects, I can only reference specific elements in the array like Players(1).KillCountStat. And if I pass the entire Players array into the function, I cannot think of a way to specify which stats object that I want to rank; because every stats object within the Player object is uniquely named (killCountStat, killRatioStat, etc.), I can't figure out how to "generically" refer to them inside the function so that I can have a single function that can rank any stat. I hope this makes sense. I'm really stuck here. Maybe my data structure is poorly suited to the task? One solution I thought of was: rather than make the Players object an array, make each stat object an array within the Players object (e.g. Players.PlayerID(1) = 12345; Players.killCountStat (1) = 99). Then for example I could pass the whole killCountStat array into the RankStat function. But I can't figure out how to declare an array of class objects within another class object! Referring to my code snippet above where I define my classes, where/how would I specify that the killCountStat and killRatioStat objects are an *array* of New StatisticClass? It seems each element of the array would have to be individually set as a New StatisticClass, but I don't understand how to to do that within a class definition; it seems like it would have to be done as each element is added to the array? Sorry for the long-winded questions! Hoping someone might find the time to take a look and offer some advice. Thanks!

 - replace multiple strings in 1 regexp object Hello, Is it possible in regexp to replace different strings with different values?

 - Applying users listbox selection when writing back to client I am trying to set a listbox selectedIndex value when writing back to the client from the server side. On the client-side form, an onChange event grabs a listbox's value, length and selectedIndex and then populates individual hidden form fields in my .asp file (works great). As well, I loop through the select options and build an html string that is also passed to a hidden field (also working fine). === end code === //--- length --- var str_ReportType_length = document.getElementById("lbx_ReportType").length document.getElementById("fld_ReportType_length").value = str_ReportType_length //--- selectedIndex --- var str_ReportType_selectedIndex = document.getElementById("lbx_ReportType").selectedIndex document.getElementById("fld_ReportType_selectedIndex").value = str_ReportType_selectedIndex //--- value selected --- var str_ReportType_selected = document.getElementById("lbx_ReportType").value; document.getElementById("fld_ReportType_selected").value = str_ReportType_selected //--- retrieve the options and build an HTML string ---- var str_ReportType_options = ""; var obj_ReportType = document.getElementById("lbx_ReportType"); for (i=0;i<obj_ReportType.options.length;i++) { var arr_ReportType = obj_ReportType.options[i]; str_ReportType_options = str_ReportType_options + "<option value = " + '"' + arr_ReportType.value + '"' + ">" + arr_ReportType.innerHTML; } str_startselectHTML ="<select name=" + strQuote + "lbx_ReportType" + strQuote + " onChange=" + strQuote + "lbx_ReportTypeSelect()" + strQuote + ">"; var blt_ReportType_options = str_startselectHTML + str_ReportType_options + str_endselectHTML document.getElementById("fld_ReportType_options").value = blt_ReportType_options; === end code === A response.write demonstrates all the values were captured, moved up from the client to the server, and then back to rebuild the client page (e.g. submit). No problem there. *** Question *** ?? If the user has selected number 3 out of 5 items of the .asp form, how do rebuild the listbox with the user's selection displayed? I've tried a number of ways... unsuccessfully. *** Attempted Solutions **** For example, I tried setting it on the server side. I obtained the value from the hidden field transferring the selectedIndex from the client side (strSelectedIndex): <% Dim obj_lbx_ReportType obj_lbx_ReportType = document.GetElementById("lbx_ReportType") lbx_ReportType.selectedIndex = strSelectedIndex. %> Of course, I couldn't set a client side object value on the server side....... I've also tried to set a <option = "some value" SELECTED>something</ option> when writing it to/from the client/server. However, this causes problems when the user repeats the selection... the onChange fires again and..... you get the picture. Similarly, setting a flag in a JavaScript function to change the listbox when writing back causes problems with repeat selection/ submits. Perhaps a permanent function at the client side that triggers somehow. I'm out of ideas here. If you've done this before, please let me know how! Many thanks.

 - [extraneous topic] Eric Lippert's latest postings... You may recall Eric Lippert. Some time ago he provided helpful "inside information", generally via mikHar, about scripting. Here is what he has been working on lately: - Immutability in C# Part One: Kinds of Immutability - Immutability in C# Part Two: A Simple Immutable Stack - Immutability in C# Part Three: A Covariant Immutable Stack - Immutability in C# Part Four: An Immutable Queue - Immutability in C# Part Five: LOLZ! - Immutability in C# Part Six: A Simple Binary Tree - Immutability in C# Part Seven: More on Binary Trees http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/default.aspx Isn't that exciting stuff? Aside from his assistance to scripters in the past, Eric will be remembered for his sometimes "scolding" tone: "Every now and then someone will ask me what the VBScript error message "Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub" means. I always smile when I hear that question. I tell people that the error means that YOU CANNOT USE PARENTHESES WHEN CALLING A SUB -- which word didn't you understand?" http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2003/09/15/52996.aspx Of course, in spite of Eric's disapproval, I do that all the time: Call mySub(blah, blah, blah) And then, there was his total disrespect for scripters who used "Set myObj = nothing". His language was so insulting (especially to me because, yes, I use set obj = nothing all the time) that I hesitate to reproduce it here... cheers, jw Tag: Retrieving extended attributes of the file (like Explorer detail v Tag: 214258

 - IE title bar displays "http:// - " when it shouldn't Hi I'm using the IE DOM to create a logging window. I would like the IE window's title bar to display exactly what I tell it to display, or at least start with what I tell it. I can set up the initial internal structure (document.body) of the window in two ways: 1) oIE.Document.Body.InnerHtml = "" 2) Something like this: With .document .Open "About:Blank" .Write "" .Close End With ' document If I use method 1, a title I specify is displayed properly in the title bar. If I use method 2, IE's title bar displays "http:// - " (without the "s) in front of the title I specify. Is this how IE is supposed to work, or do you think my systems are messed up. I have tried this on IE6, WXP SP2 -- home and professional, and both systems give me the same result.

 - Disable a vhd disk using WMI People, I've got a vhd file which I mount using vhdmount /p on Windows XP running on my laptop. The problem is that this is incompatible with hibernation which I use a lot when travelling. Unfortunately whilst the disk device is added as a plug in it doesn't appear in the Safely Remove Hardware dialog which I can easily access from the icon in the system tray. I need to find my way to the device manager first to disable the disk then I can use vhdmount to 'unplug' the device. Only then can I hibernate. I'd like to script this process since I will do it quite frequently. So far my investigations into using WMI has drawn a blank, it seems that Win32_DiskDrive doesn't support a .Disable() method. Any one know how I can do this with WMI or _any_ other approach such as WinAPI, .NET or a different COM library, I don't realy mind how its done.

 - renaming registry keys i'd like to create a function that'll let me rename a registry key, but am having some difficulty. based on what i've read, it sounds like i basically need to copy the registry key and then delete the original one. the problem is... how do i get an exact copy? in order to do this, you'd need to know the type and i'm not sure how to figure that out. i was looking at the functions provided by StdRegProv (http:// msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393664%28VS.85%29.aspx) and although they'll let you get certain types, they don't let you, as far as i can tell, get the required type. RegRead, from WScript.Shell (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ 2x3w20xf%28VS.85%29.aspx), appears to return a variable with the appropriate type, but how do you determine what this type is? it looks like you don't need it, persay, in RegWrite, but what if you want to copy a BINARY value? at that point, it'd be nice if you could call SetBinaryValue from StdRegProv instead of RegWrite. unfortunately, i'm not sure how to do that. RegGetValue (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724868(VS. 85).aspx) looks potentially useful, as one of it's parameters contains the type and the other the value, but i'm not sure how to use that in VBscript?

I have IIS running on my own system (to learn) and have an access database published to a virtual directory.

I have tried using both the connection string above (for .mdb formatted file) as well as one for an Access 2007 (.accdb formatted) that I found on the web, like: PROVIDER=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;DATA SOURCE=author.accdb but also does not work ( note that I save the DB in both .mdb and .accdb format for each test, depending on the connect string I was planning to use) No matter what I do, when I open the page with my browser, it craps out at the line with oConn.Open statement. The Author.mdb file is in the "root" of my website (altho I have tried moving it to fpdb, as frontpage likes better, but no diff).

 - Trying to copy file to Vista CD 'burn' area I have a number of scripts that were developed on XP that create a file (during a lengthy process) and then copy that file to the CD Burn area. All works well under XP. When I made the necessary path changes for Vista, the program fails when I attempt to copy the file to the Vista burn area. I get a "Permission denied" error in the vbs file. I have looked at this folder and I appear to have all the necessary permissions to write to that file. After all, it IS in my profile. Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone found a way around this? Thanks in advance... Dick Tag: Retrieving extended attributes of the file (like Explorer detail v Tag: 214199

Hello.

I'd like to know, if it is possible to retrieve extended attributes of the
file like it is done in Explorer's details view (e.g. Author, Company,
Dimensions - pictures ...).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ivan.
