 - remove user from group The following code is part of my script that adds users to a group. How can I change it to remove users from a group?

 - Exchange Server address creation - timing issue? I am scripting user/mailbox creation. All goes well until trying to add additional SMTP address by manipulating the property, proxyAddresses. Problem does not appear to be in the code, but the fact that after creating the mailbox there is a delay until the base email addresses are created by the Exchange Recipient Policies. That is triggered by the creation of the mailbox, or the assignment of the mailbox properties. The error I get when attempting to access the objUser.proxyAddresses is "the object is not a collection." This is true until the email addresses are actually generated. If I pause the script with a breakpoint, after creating the mailbox, but before attempting to read the proxyAddresses, and then open up ADUC to view the user's properties on the Exchange Email Addresses tab, there is no data in the GUI either. After a pause, varying from several seconds to 2 minutes, the addresses appear. At that point, I can resume the script and it reads the proxyAddresses value with no problem. I assume from this that the script code is OK, even though it doesn't work. What I need is a way to force the email address generation (I think). -- Trey Shaffer Trey@Shaffer-Family.com Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187896

 - Replacing or improving Session vars usage - advice Hi, I'm working on a VBScript application on IIS6 and I'm looking for some advice about the best way of replacing or improving session variable usage. The application is in a secure extranet environment. Currently the application has a search customers page with 10 search fields which list the results below the search fields. The requirement for this screen was that the user could return to this result page at any point from any page in the application and see his last set of results. As a quick fix I used session variables to store the search values and loaded them into the search page upon return. Works fine and didn't worry me too much about using 10 session vars. Now the users want similar functionality on all search screens (another 6) giving me a potential of 60 session variables for search results (on top of about another 10 legacy session vars). Suddenly I am worried about 70 session variables, potentially containing reasonably long strings, with a 2 hour session timeout for a potential 1000 users. What would people recommend I do to either replace the session variables or improve performance of them. My thoughts are: 1. Store in the database alongside the user record. I'm already retrieving the user record on most pages so it would be a case of getting the extra 60 fields from the DB when required. Would also provide cross session result persistence. 2. Cookies. Have only ever used sparingly. Would this be too much data for storing in cookies ? Any performance trade-off ? 3. Store an array/arrays in fewer session variables. Each search result page could just have one session variable with an array of all the search field values for that page. Would one session variable containing an array be much better than 10 session variables ? 4. Just use the 70 session variables and stick more memory in the server if we get issues. Probably the cheapest and easiest solution, though not the right one I'm sure. Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm kind of at the limit of what I know about performance issues. Many thanks, Larry. Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187893

 - AtEndOfStream Question I'm using this code to read every line in a series of files. --- snip --- Set oFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sLogFilePath, ForReading, False, -2) sLineIn = oFile.ReadLine Do Until oFile.AtEndOfStream wscript.echo sLineIn sLineIn = oFile.ReadLine Loop --- snip --- It's worked before, but it doesn't work now. The first read, outside the DO loop works, but it never enters the loop to read the remaining 300+ lines. It's as if it thinks it's at EOF already. Can the content of the lines being read effect the behavior of AtEndOfStream? Almost all of the lines in the files end in #@ and almost all of them start with ~. Basically, why does it think it's at EOF when it's at the beginning of the file? Thanks, Tom Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187891

 - How to copy desktop items? (note: I cannot use Roaming Profiles for this...) I want to create a script that will copy a user's desktop settings (icons, quicklaunch and e-mail if that's possible) to a secure folder on the server and reload them when they logon. So I guess I need a logoff and a logon script. Does anybody have any code samples on how I would do that? (if possible, as a bonus, I would like to copy their desktop background image if they use one, too.) thanks for any help. -Fran- Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187890

 - Creating subfolders at multiple levels Hello. I've got a script that creates subfolders at multiple levels, on a remote server: (watch for word-wrap) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dim strDestinationServer, strAppName, DestinationPath, strTicketNumber Dim Yearfrom, Monthfrom, Dayfrom, strDate, InstallPath, Sub1, Sub2, CodeSub1, Sub3 strDestinationServer = "000-SERVER-05" strAppName = "Webteam" DestinationPath = "\\" & strDestinationServer & "\D$\Install\" & strAppName & "\Installs\" strTicketNumber = "7146" Yearfrom = Year(Date) Monthfrom = Month(Date) Dayfrom = Day(Date) strDate = Yearfrom & "_" & Monthfrom & "-" & Dayfrom InstallPath = strDate & "_Ticket_" & strTicketNumber Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(DestinationPath & InstallPath) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(DestinationPath & InstallPath) End IF Sub1 = DestinationPath & InstallPath & "\D_Project\" IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub1) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub1) End IF Sub2 = Sub1 & strAppName IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub2) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub2) End IF CodeSub1 = "\Teamsite\" Sub3 = Sub2 & CodeSub1 IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub3) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub3) End IF strCMD = "EXPLORER.EXE" Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objWshScriptExec = objShell.Exec (strCMD & " " & Sub3) Set objFSO = nothing Set objShell = nothing Set objWshScriptExec = nothing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The script works fine, but I'm wondering if there's a cleaner way to create all the subfolders: \2006_2-22_Ticket_7146\D_Project\Webteam\Teamsite Can I create those subfolders at multiple levels in one fell swoop, versus having to repeat the "objFSO.CreateFolder" block of code several times: IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub3) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub3) End IF with the different variables Sub1, Sub2, and Sub3? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187880

 - textbox controls Dear Experts, In my web form, I've a few textbox controls. These controls are to capture date and time. Therefore, I've a calendar link to allow user to make a date and time selection into the textbox control. While the textbox control is read-only mode. All these textbox controls are having the same attributes: Read-only : True EnableViewState : True AutoPostBack : True While the calendar link is calling a Javascript as follow: <a href="javascript:NewCal('<textbox name>','ddmmmyyyy',true,24)"><asp:Label ID="lblCompletionCalendar" runat="server" Text="Calendar" Visible="False"></asp:Label> My problem is, there is one particular textbox control when I click on a button to update the value into the database, the textbox control is being refresh to empty text while the rest of textbox controls remain with the value selected earlier. I've check the attribute and is all the same as the rest of the textbox control. May I get some help from you on solving this problem? Thanks in advance.

 - printer scripting dependent on computer name Jens Frieben from this group gave me some help creating the folowing script to map a printer depending on the computer's name. But I'm not sure I have it quirte right yet because it doesn't work. It seems to go through all the steps because I get the Script Complete message. But no printer is added. (Maybe I have a group policy interfering). It's suppose to check the first eight characters of the computer name (ex 047-lib out of 047-lib-05) and base the printer selection on that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 - drive size for drives without drive letters Greetings, I'm using the following script to check drive sizes on various servers.

 - Filtering usernames and passwords I'm a newbie at VBScript so I apologize beforehand if this is something that's been asked a dozen times already. I've inherited a login page with a username and a password. The maxlen for the password is 64 and the maxlen for the username is 100 (no problem handling this). However, this is used against a Crystal Reports server that allows letters, numbers and punctuation in these login fields. I need to filter out characters that are not letters, numbers or punctuation before the login is submitted. I work for a govt. agency and a security expert was able to type in some script into one of the fields and run it via VBScript and print a screenshot, so it's a big deal and I've gotta disable it. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187852

 - EnumNetworkDrives and RemoveNetworkDrive doesn't work on broken network connection / share - any other ways? If I map a driveletter to a network-share, the share can be enumerated using EnumNetworkDrives of WScript.Network - and likewise un-mapped using RemoveNetworkDrive (or re-mapped using MapNetworkDrive). But if the network share is removed before the mapped driveletter is un-mapped, the mapping is broken and appears in Windows Explorer as a driveletter with a red cross - and if you try to access the driveletter you get the errormessage "The network name cannot be found". Now if you use EnumNetworkDrives the broken driveletter mapping doesn't appear as a network drive - and you can't use RemoveNetworkDrive to remove the connection, this results in the error "WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive: This network connection does not exist". If MapNetworkDrive is attempted on the same driveletter you get the error "WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive: An attemp made to remember a device that had previously been remembered". So you're stuck with a broken connection that can't be viewed / removed / unmapped using EnumNetworkDrives or RemoveNetworkDrive - only through Windows Explorer - Rightclick on driveletter - Disconnect can the connection be removed (or using Net Use <driveletter>: /Delete) So my question is: Does anyone know of any other way using VBScript, WMI etc. to remove a broken networkshare?

(3) Change the name of the image file into what was written in the Subject of that email. (4) Save the renamed image file into a specific folder.

I know how to make IE navigate to the desired directory but I need help to list content of the desired ftp directory ain terms of names, sizes, date time created if possible Thank you very much for your time.

 - Script to compair two files Help? Hi I am trying to write a Windows 2003 Server logon script to compair two files ("file1" and "file2"), if the files are different (say in size) then I need to replace "file2" with "file1". The algorithm is: if file1 "is different" from file2 then Overwrite file2 with file1 (a simple "copy file1 file2" will suffice) Is there a simple way to do it using a script (VBScript) so I can run it when the user logs on? My VBScript knowledge is NIL, I have no problems compiling a Visual Basic program to perform the task, but would like to see how it can be done using a script. Any help would be appreaciated.

It's in the basement and viewed on remote tv's throughout building. MS Powerpoint 2003 w/(sp3) if it makes a difference. Thanks Nate Tag: Script to execute a .reg file Tag: 187730

Thanks for the reply...................

Now what I need to do is have a script which reads a two coloumn csv
file. What I need it to do is read the search the first column and find
the matching name (assume I provide a vlaue) then read the next row for
the name.

Basically the file is a table that maps names to phone
numbers.............

What I need is to search for the name and then return the phone number
corresponding to the name...........

Can anyone point me to some sample scripts............
please..................

Many thanks

Const ForReading = 1
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _
("Your file here", ForReading)
Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream
strNextLine = objTextFile.Readline
arrServiceList = Split(strNextLine , ";")
intLineFinder = InStr(strNextLine, wshnetwork.username)
If intLineFinder <> 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "Server name: " & arrServiceList(0)
wscript.echo Mid(arrservicelist(0),15)

End If

Loop

thie file should point you in the right direction.

the file that is used to seed this is a two collumn comma delimited
file.
