 - Run script on remote computer We have 10 Windows 2003 domains (1 root, 8 children, 1 grandchild) and 28 Windows 2003 Domain Controllers. company.com (2 DCs) childA.company.com (2 DCs) grandchildA.childA.company.com (4 DCs) childB.company.com (4 DCs) childC.company.com (4 DCs) childD.company.com (3 DCs) childE.company.com (3 DCs) childF.company.com (2 DCs) childG.company.com (2 DCs) childH.company.com (2 DCs) At the end of this message is a script called MasterScript. MasterScript causes each and every Domain Controller in the forest to locally run its own local copy of a second script called SlaveScript. I run MasterScript from my workstation, which is a member of ChildA.company.com, and I run it using Enterprise Admin credentials from the root domain (company.com). Everything works just fine except that in exactly 2 of the child domains (child C and child F) none of the 6 Domain Controllers will locally run their local copy of SlaveScript. When I locally log into each of the 6 problem Domain Controllers using the same Enterprise Admin credentials, I can manually run the local copy of SlaveScript and it works fine. So it seems that the childC and childF domains (or at least their DCs) are set to not allow remote script execution. What am I missing? ----------- MasterScript ------------------------- str_exeToRunRemotely = "WScript.exe " & Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\EventLogArchive\SlaveScript" & Chr(34) For int_counterI = 1 To 28 ' Connect to WMI set obj_WMIService = GetObject("winmgmts://" & ary_str_DCs(int_counterI) & "/root/cimv2") ' Obtain the Win32_Process class of object.

 - Creating filters over results of an ASP page Hello everyone. i've been learning a lot here in the past few weeks, but unfortunately it's not enough for what i need now... Here it goes: I have an ASP script wich scans a given directory and returns information on the files inside it (name, type, size, date last mod, owner and author). Everything works fine, but now i need a new element on this - a way to filter the results. someone i know has told me something about recordsets, but all the info i can find is about connections with Access databases. so, i'd like to ask if there is a way to sort my problem out, and if you know any links or online documentation to do so. best regards and thanks in advance, ember Tag: Runas Tag: 196111

 - how to wait for a objShell.Exec finish executing a command? I am creating a shell object to zip a file, then delete the source file, but the objFSO.DeleteFile(objFileName) is executing before the zip is done, and deleting the file before it can be zip; so i think. I am checking the error code for anything other than zero, and it looks like the file is getting zipped but the delete happens so fast i can't be sure where the problem is. Obviously if i comment the DeleteFile method i see the file get zip. Do i need to put some sort of Sleep/Wait variable in my script? B Tag: Runas Tag: 196076

 - running multiple instances of CSCRIPT to go through list of computers. Hello All, I have been searching far and wide for a solution to my problem. I'm not sure if I am using the proper terms here. I am fairly familiar with VBS. Here is the question. I would like my VBscript to start multiple instances of itself and go through a list of computers I provide. Basically something similar to this (http://www.mousetrax.com/Downloads.html "Domain Report Manager ") , but much simpler. I have spent the past couple of weeks breaking down his code and connecting bits and pieces, but I am pretty overwhelmed. I read through the documentation he put together, but it only elaborated on tracking the number of instances... not how to create them. I am sure it is something simple, I just can't see it. The script I have pieced together gathers the computer accounts from the domain... Pings them.. Then runs PSEXEC against the ones that are up. I just want to speed up the process. run like 15 threads at once.. I really appreciate any info you can give me or any resources you can point me too. I really want to learn how this works. Many Thanks, Ian Tag: Runas Tag: 196060

 - trouble in connecting with wmi accross NAT Dear all, this is my scenario I need to manage some servers in the remote offices. I have a cisco pix-firewall and also the remote networks have it. A remote server ( I will call it MYSERVER ) is reachabled with the Public address 81.81.81.43 (eg.) , on the inside lan MYSERVER adress is 192.x.x.x. ( ie a private address) so a Static NAT translates the ip to private and viceversa. my computer is in the inside lan with a private address and goes out with a public address like 82.83.84.56 (eg). the server is in the same domain as the mine. I'm an Enterprise Admin. If i try to connect to this server with a wmi script, for example using the ScriptomaticV2 tool, I can't get the data. But if I add to MYSERVER the ip alias 81.81.81.43 ( the same address with it is pubblished) i can get all data, but that's a terrible workaround!!! Wich is the best solution to avoid this kind of problem? Many thanks, Sergio Tag: Runas Tag: 196055

 - bypassing 'File Open' dialog when calling an external program Group, I'm running the following command multiple times from a script while using Terminal Services on a series of Windows 2003 servers: objShell.Run "Robocopy \\Server1\3rdPartyApps E:\3rdParty *.* /e", 2, True The VB Script and Robocopy.exe files are located on a remote server. In 90% of the servers I'm prompted by a 'File Download' window asking if I want to 'Open' the Robocopy.exe file located on the remote server. If I select 'Open' the script runs without issue and the necessary files are copied. My question concerns a way to bypass or avoid being prompted each time I need to run this command. I assume this is a GPO or security setting? If so, is there a way to temporarily change this setting at the start of the script and change it back at the end? Any help would be appreciated.

 - script for temp internet files hi- i don't know anything about scripts - esp in VB. i'm not sure if i even need to do this in VB, but could someone help me? we have users who open TIFF files constantly. our problem is that this folder gets full of these files and after a while, users cannot open any TIFF files. our usual solution is to do the following manually: Microsoft Outlook uses a temporary folder to save and open the attachments. By default that folder is: C:\Documents and Settings\%USER_NAME%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK#\ (where # is a random number). Some of the latest security updates for Windows 2000 and XP are preventing folders to be created in that folder. The solution is to use the regular TEMP folder. 1. Using REGEDIT.EXE locate the following key: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security Note: Depending on your version you may have to modify that path after the "Office" key. You may have folders 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, go the highest number. This is probably the version that you use. 2. Modify the Key "OutlookSecureTempFolder", by replacing "Temporary Internet Files" with "Temp". For example: OLD VALUE: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK177\ (you may have different number than 177) NEW VALUE: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp\OLK177\ 3. Restart Microsoft Outlook. in essence, what i need to do is create a script to do this, so that we can run it before the folders get full, and we don't have to do it manually every time it happens. thanks in advance!

Here's the problem I'm having: I need to write a script that installs an application in unattended mode (if it does not already exist), waits for the install to finish, then installs an update to the application. For some reason, the 'true' parameter on the wshshell.run command doesn't work. On a machine which does NOT have the application installed, the install starts - it should run about 5-10 minutes. Almost immediately, the update starts. I need it to wait until the application install finishes. Here's the code -- the msgbox lines are there for testing/development purposes only; they will be removed when I get this debugged. All help/advice/suggestions will be gratefully accepted. Thanks -- Carl ' SCRIPT STARTS HERE msgbox "Starting XYZ install process" dim ws Set ws = wscript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") dim WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ' is XYZ installed? If not, install it in unattended mode. if not ws.fileexists("C:\Program files\xyzView\xyzView.exe") then ' the last flag is for "shell and wait"; true halts execution, false continues Return = WshShell.Run("\\BOZO\common\XYZ\setup.exe /s", 1, true) end if msgbox "XYZ install complete" ' apply the XYZ update to this machine Return = WshShell.Run("\\BOZO\common\XYZ\mv31update.exe /s", 1, true) msgbox "XYZ update complete" Tag: Runas Tag: 195973

 - Add domain account to local administrators What I'm looking for is: A Script that will add a logged in domain user to local administrators group on the PC. This script needs to be dynamic in retrieving the current logged in user's domain account. First off I've found numerous scripts to handle this tasks, but they require some sort of elevated privileges to be successful. Unfortunately none of them work for my environment, which is: Windows 2003/2000 Domain - Windows XP SP2. SMS 2003 I'm attempting at doing this during the login script. The scripts I tested get an "access is denied" Here is an example of the script: strComputer = "." Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrators,group") Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://TEST/testuser3") objGroup.Add(objUser.ADsPath) Now it works if you have administrative privileges in the domain, which is a catch 22. The user in my environment has to have administrative access on the desktop for a 3rd party application. The "runas" option/command will not work in my solution, too many security implications. I've also read about AutoIt, but my learning curve is too steep right now. Questions: Does anyone have such a script for this purpose? What is the best context to run such a script, on login, GPO, or SMS? Will Restrictive Groups handle this instead of a script? Where / How do I run it with elevated privileges?

 - Copying current profile, to the default user profile. Hi all, I need to create a vbscript that copies the administrator account (with all of its desktop, screensaver...etc. settings) to the default user profile, so that all newly created accounts from this point on will contain all these personalised settings. The only way I can see to do it (without using send-keys) is to manually copy the registry keys for the administrator account to the .DEFAULT key in the HKEY_USERS section of the registry, and then copy the files and folders in the "Documents and Settings" area. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but the registry seems to lock these keys for reading only (no matter who you are logged in as ive found). So i've ended up in abit of a stale-mate. Is there a way to temporarily 'relax' these permissions so I can copy the required entries without it ruining the current permissions setup (im not sure if all keys under the admin profile key inherits their permissions from this parent). OR is there another way I can achieve this using vbscript (i've not managed to find any .exe tools that just actually do this task?). Thanks in advance for your assistance. Dez Tag: Runas Tag: 195957

 - Event Logs Help Hi All, I'm trying to create a scirpt that will read out events from a log that meet certain criteria, the scipt I've got so far is as follows: '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Set dtmStartDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime") Set dtmEndDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime") DateToCheck = Date - 1 dtmEndDate.SetVarDate Date, True dtmStartDate.SetVarDate DateToCheck, True Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strserver & "\root\cimv2") Set colEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent Where TimeWritten >= '" _ & dtmStartDate & "' and TimeWritten < '" & dtmEndDate & "' _ and Type = 'Error'") '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' I can get it to read events from a certain day but now I'm having trouble pulling out only error events. The script is erroring on this section: & dtmStartDate & "' and TimeWritten < '" & dtmEndDate & "' _ and Type = 'Error'") It say underterminated string constant although everything point to it being okay. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, -- _______________________________ Sam Richardson Technical Support Administrator Central Business Services ________________________________ Tag: Runas Tag: 195939

 - Local User Accounts I'm using the following script to get all local user accounts on thousands of servers: Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFileName = objFSO.OpenTextFile("Servers.txt", 1, 0) Set objOutputFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("Local Users.txt",True) Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork") objOutputFile.WriteLine "Verified by:;Date Verified;Server Name;Name;Comment;Disabled?;Lockout?;Password Changeable?;Password Expires?;Password Required?" On Error Resume Next Do Until objFileName.AtEndOfStream strServerName = objFileName.ReadLine Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strServerName & "\root\cimv2") If Err.Number > 0 Then objOutputFile.WriteLine strServerName & ";" & Err.number & " - " & Err.Description Err.Clear Else Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount") For Each objItem in colItems objOutputFile.WriteLine objNet.UserName & ";" & Now() & ";" & strServerName & ";" & objItem.Name & ";" & _ objItem.Description & ";" & objItem.Disabled & ";" & objItem.Lockout & ";" & _ objItem.PasswordChangeable & ";" & objItem.PasswordExpires & ";" & _ objItem.PasswordRequired Next End If Loop WScript.Echo "We're done!!!" But... the LOOP is not working. The script stucks after all the information for the first server (in the first line of SERVERS.TXT) is written to the output file (Local Users.txt). I'm running the script from a Windows 2000 Advanced Serverand it will get information of different Windows versions (NT/2000/2003). When I test the script from my laptop running Windows XP, it works fine. Even removing "On Error Resume Next", it doesn't return any error. It just stucks. Does anybody know why it happens? Thanks!!!
