    - Convert .net xmlhttp code to vbs Can you please help me to finish converting the .net code below into vbscript? My vbs function at the end works when posting to another asp file on the same win server, but I need to post the xml to a .jsp file on a unix box. The jsp file just returns an internal server error. It crashes with a null pointer exception when trying to read the request. Presumably because it is not in an ascii byte array? How do I do those parts? If it is too complex, then let me know and I will use the .NET code as a relay. I would just prefer to have it all in one file. .NET CODE ========= // create a web request and set the method of the request to POST HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) HttpWebRequest.Create(requestLocation); request.Method = "POST"; // encode the data and store the byte representation in an array ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding(); string postdata="xml="+HttpUtility.UrlEncode(xmlDoc); // string postdata="xml="+xmlDoc; byte[] requestData = encoding.GetBytes(postdata); // set the content type of the data being posted. request.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; // set the content length of the string being posted request.ContentLength = postdata.Length; // Status.Text += "Submitting activity message"; Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream(); requestStream.Write(requestData,0,requestData.Length); // flush out the data to the underlying stream and close it requestStream.Flush(); requestStream.Close(); // retrieve the response from the web server HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse(); StreamReader responseData = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); err+= responseData.ReadToEnd(); MY VBS CODE =========== Function iXMLPostSTX(STX_URL, POXMLData, ByRef XMLResp) Dim oHttp Set oHttp = Server.CreateObject ("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") Dim status oHttp.open "POST", STX_URL oHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" oHttp.setRequestHeader "Connection", "Keep-Alive" oHttp.send POXMLData status = oHttp.statusText iLog("Status=" & status) XMLResp = oHttp.responseText End Function Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203289

    - checking response from readline hi, I have the following code which asks user a question and gets response. I need to check response for validity but the following if statement is always evaluated as true even when correct response is entered: wscript.stdout.write "What is the SOURCE file type? (user/computer/group): " strSourceFileType = trim(ucase(wscript.stdin.readline)) if strSourceFileType <> "user" or strSourceFileType <> "computer" or strSourceFileType <> "group" then err.raise 449 ErrHandler end if Even when I enter "user" or "computer" or "group" (without quotes) at the prompt the condition evaluates as true and returns "Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Argument not optional" I have witten value of strsourcefiletype to screen and it is populated correctly with no spaces, etc. as expected by the condition right after it is read. Now if i simply specify: if strSourceFileType <> "user" then without the other two OR conditions and type "user" at the prompt all works fine. I don't understand why I cannot look for the other values in the field too. ??? thanks again. Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203280

    - reading a file that has null or blank field hi, when reading through a CSV file and a field is missing I receive a run time error. I have the on error resume next commented out for now during debugging. But, how do I handle if a field is missing when trying to assign the array? In this case would missing mean "NULL"? The code is as follows: set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set objSourceFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strSourceFilename, ForReading) if err <> 0 then ErrHandler do until objSourceFile.AtEndOfStream arySourceFields = split(objSourceFile.ReadLine,",",-1,1) if err <> 0 then ErrHandler wscript.stdout.write arySourceFields(0) '''remove. loop . . . Example of csv file contents: 500,world,1,1,5 501,now,2,6,0 . . . 600,,, 601 the problem occurs for records like 601 above. notice there are no commas seperating other fields. the csv just has first field and nothing in remaining fields like rest of records. Code works fine for all other instances including 600,,, Assigning arySourceFields(x) to any variable or simply doing the stdout.write above causes runtime of: createfiles.vbs(102,1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Subscript out of range: 'wscript.stdout' How do I prevent the error from occuring in my code without the on error resume next? Isn't there a function that would check to see if the subject is valid? Thank you. Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203279

    - I am having a problem with a logon script using VBscript trying to the computer name to the organizational unit in which it belongs. Dim objSystemInfo, objNetwork, CurrentComputer Dim strOu Const OrgUnit = "OU=PCBMRDD" Set objSystemInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") Set CurrentComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & objSystemInfo.ComputerName) strOu = (Join(CurrentComputer.MemberOf)) If InStr(strOu, (OrgUnit)) Then WScript.Echo "Hello" End if Wscript.Echo "Not found" WScript.Quit I am trying to use the computername of the PC and compare it to which organizational unit belongs to. I am then going to map a drive based on the organizational unit the PC belongs to and map it to a specific location. When using the Echo statement after the GetObject statement I am able to display all the active directory information for the ComputerName. When I compile the code it will not check to see whether the computer name belongs to a specific organizational unit. Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203276

    - check if file open hi, I have the following code that writes to a text file. set objDestinationFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strDestinationFilename,true) . . . objDestinationFile.WriteLine FileTypeVal & "," & FileTypeVal After I write lines to the file and when a field changes I need to close the file and create a new one for writing. How do I check to see if the file is open by my code so that I can issue a close? If it isn't open I don't want to close it, I just want to create new file. The only time it wouldn't be open is the first time the script executes. Would doing the following accomplish my goals and be correct? if isobject(objDestinationFile) then objDestinationFile.Close After I issue close do I need to set the object variable to nothing or can I simply issue above set again. thanks alot Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203275

    - XML, VBScript, and HTA royal rumble I just started working with XML. However, I have been working with HTAs and VBScripts for a while now. I am building an HTA that would generate data into an XML file, and display it in a Data Island (which I found is the easiest way to display it in this case.. since there would an X number of data sources, with the same XML format). The problems came when I had to filter the XML data to show only a certain criteria. I could not embed XQuery code into the document as I am not sure if there is a way to get the XQuery and Data Island to work together to produce only a limited record set in the output table. I then started looking at multidimensional array sorting and class creation and sorting, I felt as though my mind was frying. XQuery seems much easier but there was no easy way to use it since the Data Island itself is a dynamic table with a dynamic data source spanning different data types. I thought probably the best way to achieve a filtered XML would be to obtain a XQuery application (a small portable parser) that would run against the original XML file producing a newer modified XML with the needed data. I could not find such an application. Has anyone got an efficient solution to such a problem? Thank you for your time. - Nasser Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203260

    - VBScript and VB6 COM object type mismatch... Hi, Folks! I am trying to use a to use a COM object written in VB6. Set oSCNTool2 = CreateObject("SomeCompanyName.Tool2") This COM object has a property called "xml" where it expects, you guessed it, an XML string. Well, it turns out it's just expecting a plain string and not any special XML node or what-have-you. The problem is when I try to assign a string to this property I get a Type Mismatch error. oSCNTool2.xml = szXMLdata 'type mismatch error The problem is VBScript deals in Variants and VBS strings are of the Variant String subtype. This "xml" property is expecting the VB6 String variable type and not a Variant subtype. I do not have access to the source code of the COM object to change it.

    - Is there a limit on WMI connections from one computer? I have some scripts which use WMI to get system info of printers, RAM, serial no., etc... Right now I want to use 10 copies of each script as there are about 10,000 computers I need to scan and doing the whole lot at once would take too long, especially if I need a report overnight. So I cut them up into 10 scripts to run at the same time, hitting 1,000 computers each, with all 10 scripts being identical except for the computer names and IPs they read from an excel sheet. The issue I'm having is that there seems to be a one session limit on WMI, so I can't run 10 scripts on one computer. The first script runs fine, the second I run on the same computer just quits after a few seconds (viewing task manager I see two wscripts, then it goes to one). Is there a way around the limit, registry hack or something? Doing a google search got me nothing on this. Thanks for any help. Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203207

    - WMI for Querying "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" Does WMI provide any way to query whether "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" is set for a NIC? I know that you can set the value in WMI by calling SetDNSServerSearchOrder with no parameters. So you might think that you could just query DNSServerSearchOrder and get back something empty or null if "Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically" is set. But actually, DNSServerSearchOrder returns the DNS addresses that are currently assigned, so you can't tell if they were automatically assigned or manually assigned.

    - Event Log Query I've created a script that does the following: *All output goes to a text file* Searches through AD finding computer objects running a Server OS(using wildcards).

    - need help creating a VBS for an Excel file. I have an Excel file with a few worksheets in it. One of those worksheets contains data that is linked to a TXT file and another is linked to another Excel file. When I open the file it prompts to "Enable Automatic Refresh". I click yes, then I get two more prompts - one for each of the links mentioned above. Here's what I'm looking to do: I want a script that will open that file and automatically respond (in the affirmative) to those 3 prompts. I then want the file saved and copied into another location - so that when the user opens it, it is more or less "stale" data - in otherwords, it doesn't give them the option to automatically refresh. Is this possible? How? Help! Thanks! Glenn Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203188

    - Interfacing with Exchange Address Contact List Hi, I have written a VBScript that takes a tab delimited file of customer's contact information and loads it into a users contact list, and loads into distribution lists by state. This works great. The user runs the script, chooses the file's location, and it runs while their outlook is open. This is great except that it needs to be run relatively often as our customer base grows. Is it possible to schedule a VBScript to run at night that will run against a file and add it to specific user's contact list? Currently, Outlook must be open and it connects to the running account. Can i write something that does this without the user needing to be logged in? Thanks very much for your help. Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203181

    - How to refresh the start menu? Is there a way to script a refresh of the start menu (including Windows XP and newer)? Iâ??m using start menu redirection and when my file share (where the shortcuts are located) goes down and up again, I can refresh my desktop (which is also redirected) to get my shortcuts back, but for the start menu I have to kill and restart the explorer process, which isnâ??t the nicest way. Surely there must be a way to refresh the start menu in another way? Tag: Retrieving monitor serial numbers from EDID Tag: 203178

    - Sort multi-dimensional array using vb.net Hi all, I have a recordset (result after executing a SQL query) containing names of employees and their information. The [EmployeeName] column is in unicode. Due to limition of sorting unicode results in T-SQL, I would like to dump the recordset in an array and sort them according to the [EmployeeName]. Sample data will be as follows: [EmployeeNo]......[EmployeeName]......[Dept]......[Title] 193......Peter......Finance.....Manager 632......Amy......Marketing......(blank) 8765......Chris......Marketing......Clerk 87......John......HR......(blank) I guess the data should be put in an array (arr(no.ofRecords,4))similar to the one below: arr(0,0) = 193 arr(0,1) = Peter arr(0,2) = Finance arr(0,3) = Manager arr(1,0) = 632 .... I find it impossible to use the "sort" method in vb.net because it deals with 1-dimensional array only. May I know how to sort the above data in vb .net (2003) so I can have the [EmployeeName] in ascending order? I will need to display the rest of the information as well. Thanks very much.

I've been toying with this script:
http://cwashington.netreach.net/depo/view.asp?Index=980&ScriptType=vbscript

I've been using it to pull serial numbers from PC's on the network.
There is one problem.. it doesn't look like DELL flat panels store
their entire S/N in EDID. It's segmented.

For example: A serial number of:

CN0123472872567890A

comes out as:

1234567890A

I know manufacturers aren't *required* to pass info into EDID, but
does anyone know DELL serials well enough to know if there's a way to
calculate the missing data? Or is it stored someplace else in EDID?

It's a shot in the dark.. but perhaps someone can help.
