    - A couple of questions about VBScript I've got a couple of questions WRT VBScript. I am using VBScript with Windows Script Host on Windows XP and incorporating the scripts into a WSF file. My questions are as follows: 1. Do classes allow for public or private Const declarations? I've tried, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I have been able to duplicate the behavior by using properties with only a Get accessor, but this seems to be a bit of a hack. I have several constants that are only needed internal to the class and several that are helpful as arguments to methods. The amount of code needed for the property hack seems wasteful and the initialization of private data members is cumbersome. 2. Does VBScript allow Enums? The documentation doesn't appear to disallow it, but I am unable to code them without getting a runtime error. I've likely missed something in the documentation, but I thought that I would ask. 3. Is it possible to have some sort of class constructor that takes an argument as opposed to Class_Initialize which does not allow arguments? I have several classes where it makes sense to only have single step contruction as the class is in an indeterminate state unless several properties are known at class instantiation time. Two-step construction would require the user of the classes to know that the second method call is required. Thanks in advance.. -Pete Tag: Schedule + VBScipt Tag: 172611

    - Editing the nth byte of a BINARY Registry Value Hello I'm trying to edit a Binary Registry value which I can do by doing a full replace of the data, but because the data could be different from machine to machine and only specific bytes change I was trying to write a script that would allow me just edit specific bytes for example byte 6 and 63, but I don't know the best way to go about it. Could I use to the Replace function in this example? Replace(reg_string, "00", "01", 63, 1, 0) If so would someone be able be able to help me read in a binary registry value that I could run the replace on. I really don't have any preference how I get to how I get this to work, my programming knowledge is limited so any advice or help would be most appreciated. Thanks for time Gary PS My reference to a byte is if you export out from the registery a binary value eg "1"=hex:03,00,00,00,00,00,00, I'm asuming that the number inbetween the coma's represets a byte and I've worked out byte's that I would need to change.

Hi there, maybe someone could help me in this corner: - I created a WSC (a COM component with the logic written in VBasic and ooRexx), which can be instantiated locally *and* after some research and peeking and poking also remotely (one needs to use the "remotable"-attribute and then configure the remote access via "dcomcnfg.exe" - after enhancinge, changing, copying forward and backward, renamed the PROGID and the like; anyway, locally everything has been working and humming along nicely, but now when trying to test the remote-instantiation and remote access I need to configure the DCOM part for that WSC; unexplicably, the WSC-component does not show up anymore? Tried a lot of things (including rebooting the machine a couple of times just to be sure), but so far I could not come to a solution. If there is anyone who could give any hints/ideas, I really would appreciate it.

    - Auto-logon dilemma I have a lab of 50 XP pro machines that is sometimes used for exams. When the exam begins, I run a script that modifies the following registry values in HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon: AutoAdminLogon (1) ForceAutoLogon (1) Default UserName(<username>) DefaultPassword (<password>) The script then executes a remote auto-logoff on any logged-on machines, and those machines promptly log-off and then log back on using the account info sent to the registry. However, all other machines require the user to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before the auto-logon executes. Is there a way through vbs/wsh to force the auto-logon to happen unattended? In other words, I want all of the machines to auto-logon, regardless of whether they were logged on to begin with. Tag: Schedule + VBScipt Tag: 172523

    - Active Directory Servers Uptime Here's something that I had quickly put together some time ago and as an admin of several remote networks I find it quite handy: This script will query your AD for server systems and display each machine's uptime (hours/rounded off days). It'll assume and tell you that the server is offline if it can't query it.

Valid tokens: <END-OF-STATEMENT>. IBM says this MS Query is aliasing one of the fields in the query with the invalid identifier, '$'.

Hi this might be the wrong place to put this but I am currently trying to
find out how I would use vbscript to schedule a .bat file to run two weeks
after I restore certain files. It's basically a backup restore bat file that
I run to take stuff up and down on the network. What I want to do is set it
up after I restore the files that it run a vbscript that would schedule a
task two weeks from the restore date. The AT command is great but I want to
be able do the two week thing instead of next day. Any help or direction
would greatly be appreciated as I am new to VBScipt. Thank you,

Oh and to be more specific - The bat file copy's files up to a personal
folder(network drive) for the user and then copies it back to the PC....what
I want to use the vbscript to do is schedule a task on the specific machine
to delete those folders off the users personal folder on the network drive
after two weeks of the files being transferred to the users PC. Your help
would be greatly appreciated since I do not know where to start creating the
VBScript from...thanks
