    - Create folder structure inside current folder. I have very little knowledge of scripting so please bear with me. I currently have 1500 users who each have ther Homepath via user account in AD. They all have a home directory folder on the a server. What we need to do is create a folder structure inside the individual users folder. ie: folder called Bill already exits. i want to add a folder structure that looks like this. Bill \maths \english \french \german Can this be done via a logon script or a script that is run locally on the server which hosts the home directories. We are trying to put the folder structure in place to try and encourage users to be more organised.They already have files and folders in hteir directory so we want to add these folder and encorage them to re arranged. We are a educational establishment and some of the kids are not too organised. Tag: Script needed to change permissions on folder structure in users home area! Tag: 175221

    - Set Local group policy or Import I am responsible for many stand alone laptops that are never attached to domain. I already have a login script on these machine that silent merges s .reg file to ensure settings remain the way I want them. Several settings are only available using MMC and the group policy snap in. I need to know how to ensure those don't get changes either. If needed I should be able to export a known good policy template, but how do I automate importing it, or better yet handle this taks soley within vbs It is neccesary for my users to be local admins, so yes, they do have the rights to changes things.

    - Access doc from web I know how to open a document from the web like so: Set doc1 = objWord.Documents.Open("http://my.site.com/path/to.doc") My problem is I need a way to use this document in a method call that needs the filename in the form of a string. Of course, the first thing I tried was putting in the entire URL as a string like in the Open call, but this particular method (.Merge or .Compare) doesn't seem to like the 'http://' reference. I also tried referencing the document object that I already opened. If I use 'doc1.FullName', it still throws the same error saying, "The document name or path is not valid". Is there a way to use the object that has already been opened? Maybe point to whereever the temporary file is being stored? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Chris FYI. I'm trying to use either Word's '.Compare' or '.Merge' method to difference 2 documents from the web without saving them locally.

    - Logon script & Citrix Metaframe. Hi. Hope this is the right forum for this problem. We have a logon script in our AD enviroment which runs in IE shell. Now when users try to logon to Citrix Metaframe there's only cscript window but nothing happens. The cscript window stays there as long as you want to watch it. When you close it you are able to log on normally. If I change the default script host to wscript.exe the script will never load and the user cannot log on to metaframe. Normally that script is run by wscript (without metaframe). I have looked that when the script is run that wscript.exe and iexplore.exe processes start ok. Now if I test logon with administrator rights the script loads and runs fine with both cscript and wscript. Metaframe "Power Users" experience the same problem. Hmm.. I tested this script and it works fine: wscript.echo "I suck 'cause I can't get it work :(" I don't know what would be the best solution, but could I run a different script in terminal sessions? That would solve my problem, maybe... /Arsi Tag: Script needed to change permissions on folder structure in users home area! Tag: 175086

    - Parsing text into web page table entries?

The files are created every week and are named XX-XX-XX.ASX where the X's represent the date i.e. 05-22-05.asx The files are a specific format and will always contain tags like the following: <TITLE>My media file title</TITLE> <AUTHOR>Media file author</AUTHOR> <Ref href = "mms://media.mydomainname.com/2005/05-01-05.wma" /> I would like to parse these files for the info in the tags, Title, Author, and Date and then add them to a table on a web page, but I have had no luck creating the parsing on my own. Can anyone give me a good start in the right direction using vbscript to get this going. I especially have trouble pulling the date out since it is at the end of a tag..

    - WinWrap Basic? Visual Basic for Applications? I am playing with Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Naturally Speaking) Advanced Scripting capabilities. According to the documentation, it is "Visual Basic for Applications compatible". It also mentions WinWrap Basic, once. I own Microsoft's Visual C++ NET 2003. Can I buy and use Visual Basic for a Visual Basic for Applications programming environment? Is Visual Basic for Applications a language by itself, or is the syntax, keywords, and stuff dependent on the application? Thank you. I sense that the timing of command input is very good, but the documentation has lots of errors. For what its worth, here is what the syntax for some (SendInput in C++) functions look like.

I know there are 3rd party utilities that can help do this, but I'd rather just incorporate the necessary info into my script. I've seen people mention how to do this, but I'm a little confused about how to incorporate this into my script. Here's my script: Sub run_mbsa Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell") return = oShell.Run("""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer\mbsacli.exe"" /c %computername% /o %C%.%D%.com.xml /f c:\output.txt", 0, true) Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") xmlfiles = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%userprofile%") + "\securityscans\*.xml" objFSO.CopyFile xmlfiles, "\\servername\foldername" , True objFSO.DeleteFile xmlfiles Set oShell = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing End Sub Can someone tell me how to run this as an admin?

    - How to invoke a SQL stored procedure from a logon script. Hi I'm trying to put together a logon script which retreives some data from the local system an inserts it into a SQL server database using a stored procedure. The stored procedure is called "Add_Clients" which takes the input @ComputerName and @UserName and inserts it into a table called "Clients". How do I write the code to invoke the stored procedure?

I am going to be cheeky now and ask if you can help me with this script
dilema i have before i create another post in the group.
I am using this script below to create the permissions on the users
Home Area which gives them Full Control, Administrator Full Control and
Staff Modify.

What i want to be able to do with a new script is only give read access
to the root of the pupils home directory but full control of the
folders (and subfolders which they will be able to create themselves)
of the folder structure i have created for them.

I currently use this.

Const ForAppending = 2
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("c:\sec.bat", ForAppending,
True)

REM
********************************************************************************
Set objOU = GetObject ("LDAP://ou=ENTRY 97,OU=PUPILS,DC=LIB,=UK")
REM
********************************************************************************

For each objuser in objOU

REM
********************************************************************************
commandtorun = "CACLS
"&chr(34)&"D:\HOMEDIRS\entry97\"&objUser.SAMAccountName&chr(34)&" /T /C
/P "&chr(34)&objUser.SAMAccountName&chr(34)&":F administrator:F
STAFFG:C <c:\y.txt"
REM
********************************************************************************

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
REM WshShell.Run commandtorun, 1, TRUE

objTextFile.WriteLine(commandtorun)
objTextFile.WriteLine(attribcommand)

REM This will make the account not expire DO NOT USE IF WANT USER TO
CHANGE PASSWORD WHEN LOG ON

Next
objTextFile.Close

REM RUN VBS FILE
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "c:\sec.bat", 1, TRUE
REM objFSO.DeleteFile("C:\sec.bat")
Wscript.Echo "User Security has been set"
