    - What's the best/easiest way to Rename a file using Date/Time Variables? I have a ridiculously simply need. I have a Batch file which performs certain Archiving functions for me. At the end, it Zips everything up into one file. However, the functionality I need is to be able to, at the time of execution, create a new Folder and rename a file(s) using Date and/or Time variables. For example, if I'm running my "Archive.bat" file on 5/25/2004 at 2:46pm, when I'm done I'll end up with a file called "Archive.zip" I need to have a Script that will do the following: 1. Create a Folder using the current Date/Timestamp however I choose. For example, if I specify (either in the Script or via command line parameter) "Archive Folder - MM-DD-YYYY", I want to end up with a folder named "Archive Folder - 05-25-2004" 2. Rename that file also using the current Date/Timestamp however I choose. For example, if I specify (also either in the Script itself, or via command line parameter) - "Archive - MM-DD-YYYY - HH:MM:AP.zip", I want to end up with a file named "Archive - 05-25-2004 - 2:46pm.zip" The format of the date and time doesn't have to be that dynamic for the actual naming of the file/folder. I'm perfectly fine defining the format within a variable (Say, for example, "CurrentDate" and "CurrentTime") and then using those variables for the naming (i.e. "Archive - %CurrentDate - %CurrentTime.zip" ) What is the best way to achieve this goal? I can't imagine it's that difficult, but I'm not terribly familiar with script programming. I'd appreciate whatever help anyone could offer. Thanks!

    - Use VB to update XML I am trying to accomplish the following; I have an XML script that gets uploaded to a server and then imports the fields to a webpage, what I am trying to do is see if it is possible to change the fields in the xml script with VB. I have created an outlook form that the users will fill out and I would like to have the script look at the values in the text box and then change the line in the xml script to read the value. Here is an example of what I would like to do. The outlook form has the following field: Description - Lenders Cover Letter The xml script has this line <Description>XXXXXXXXXXXXX</Description> I would like the script to change the description in the xml code. <Description>Lenders Cover Letter</Description> Is this possible to do? The xml script will be in the body of the message when it is e-mailed to the site. Thanks Gavin... Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158532

    - RunAs Alternatives Hello, We are constructing a script that will be launched from the end of the domain login script in our AD environment. This script will query the registry for the latest critical updates, determine which are missing and install the missing updates. We have it working, except that we have to reference a local Administrator/password when using the RunAs command to install any missing patches. This Admin/Password pair is in plain text in the script, and for security reasons, we only want to have one local administrator per workstation. Is there a way with VBScript to hide (hash) a domain account password, or install a patch locally while logged on as a member of the Local Users group? Basically, the ciritical updates need to be installed by a local administrator, and we need a way to run these updates from a VBScript login as that local administrator while not compromising the seecurity of the system. Any thoughts greatly appreciated...!! Thanks, Chris twinked@seajay.com Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158523

Unfortunately, the script (which is a modified version of Listing 5.30 in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting guide) only returns the first 1,000 entries.

    - Onunload server side code Hi, There is probably a very simple answer to this, but i can't seem to find it. I have an asp page which moves files on the server. What i need is the server side code which moves the files i.e... If strSelectedpdf <> "" Then ObjFSO.Movefile Oldfile, Newfile End If ...to be run when the user clicks submit and the user is taken to the next page. At the moment it works if the forms action is to the current page beacause the variables have been populated with the user's input and the script is re run when the page is opened again, but i want the code to be run as the page is left so i can direct them to a results page. I imagine it would be something along the lines of Sub window.onunload() If strSelectedpdf <> "" Then ObjFSO.Movefile Oldfile, Newfile End If end sub But this doesnt work. Can anyone suggest an answer?? Luke Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158516

    - add printerdriver to remote machines problem Hello all, I've got major difficulties to add a printer driver to a remote machine. If I want to add "windows 2000 build-in" drivers, all works fine, but if I want to add I driver which I downloaded from the internet (e.g. HP Business Inkjet 2300 PCL 5c driver) I always get the error message "printer rundll command failed". I use the command line below: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /c\\machine /m "HP Business Inkjet 2300 PCL 5c" /h "Intel" /v "Windows 2000" /f C:\printerdrivers\windows 2000 drivers\HP business inkjet 2300\Drivers\PCL5\Win2k_XP\English\hpw2300b.inf I'm 100% sure that the modelname is correct (I looked it up in the inf file) and also the location of the inf file is correct). It's weird that this works perfectly for the "windows 2000 build-in" drivers (where I use the standard %windir%\inf\ntprint.inf inf file) and not for other printer inf files, or is there something I overlooked?

With the above results. The .hta-file and the .xls file are in the same directory. Even when i hardcode the path i get the same result. Is this the bug Michael Harris wrote about in a posting from 1999/09/18 (Subject: Open Excel 2000 from htm fails!): "It also fails for Excel 2000, WSH2 beta, and the version 5.0 vbscript engine. The failure isn't when creating the object, only when referencing any property or method. Of course there's not much point in creating it if you can't use it. ...So, when you use CreateObject("Excel.Sheet") and then try to reference it in any way, it fails. If you try the GetObject("","Excel.Sheet") alternative method, it also fails. But if you use WScript.CreateObject or GetObject instead, it works. Of course, this isn't a solution available from (local) html or an hta. So it would appear that there's a bug in the vbscript 5.0 CreateObject/GetObject methods that is not in the wscript versions." Or am i doing something wrong? What can i do to achieve that i can store data from a .hta file in an excel file? I use: - wsh version 5.6 - vbscript v.?? - internet explorer v.6 - windows xp pro - excel 2002 Any help would be appreciated gr Jan Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158497

    - Response.Write not writing anything Hi, I have an asp page that imports delimited text files into a database. One of our users has rather large text files. Once all these files are imported the page prints the word "Success" to the screen. This no longer works when importing the large files. If I shorten the number of files imported so it takes just a few minutes the word "Success" appears and all works fine. If I alter the asp back to import all the files (takes about 10 minutes) the browser sits at the page loading screen indefinably. This script creates log files as it goes so I can see that all the files are imported successfully (that's why I know it takes about 10 minutes : ) just that the web page fails to report this. After the last import I use Response.Write "Success". I have tried Response.Flush, Response.End and played with the WriteBlock command. None of these make any difference. Any ideas on how fix this?

    - Scanning Servers For Available Drive Space? I'm need to scan various remote servers for the available drive space of all drives on a each server. Executing the script from my machine I'm able to capture the drive info for remote servers if I pass the script a list of server names and drive letters i.e. \\servername\c$ But, given the number of servers I have to scan and not knowing what drives are used on each server I'd prefer to simply use a list of server names and dynamically determine which drives are used on that server and subsequently capture the available drive space for each. As far as I can tell the fso.Drives collection is only relevant to the local machine. Is there a way to collect the available drive info on a remote server - in vbs or otherwise?? Thanks in advance.

    - Newbie(ish) needs clarification on array indexes and string functions I'm new to vbscript and web programming but not programming in general (c and c++ mainly) From what I read so far, I gathered vb uses zero-based arrays where a declaration of myarray(5) creates an array from 0 to 5. The upper bound of 5 seems odd to me from my background, but I think that's right(?) But I was getting frustrated when I couldn't get the following to work: For c = 0 to 5 Document.Write(Mid("abcdef", c, 1) & "<br/>") Next Turns out I had to change the initial counter from to go from 1 to 6. Am I wrong about zero-based indexes and upper bounds, or is this a quirk of string functions in VBscript? Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158443

    - Coping files Hi all, sorry for the repeat, but the originals have fallen off my news server. I am moving some VB Scripts over to a WinXP machine and have found they have stopped working. I had some code (supplied from this news group some time back) that gave me a copy dialog box when copying files. Under XP this code no longer works. It does not copy anything. Can some KIND soul give me something that will work under XP. The code I have been using (in part) is; Const FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS = "&H400" Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application") Destination="c:\test" : source="c:\temp\*.*" Set DFldr = oShell.NameSpace(Destination) DFldr.CopyHere source, FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS I have also been supplied with the FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS value of 256 (&H100) but that did not work under XP either. Cheers, Bill. Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158399

    - VBScript & ADO Hi all, Is it possible to run a VBScript client side with access to an Access Database? If so where should I look to learn the syntax. I can use ADO in VBScript through ASP, however I want to develop a small script to run from the desktop. Cheers, Bill. Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158389

    - Unique Browser ID I'm working on a web app that will be run on a server farm- so session level variables are out. I keep running into a need for a way to uniquely identify the user's browser "session" (i.e. a value that changes whenever the user browses to the site through a new browser window). I'm guessing the browser's process ID would work in combination with his IP. Is there a way to acquire such a value through script, either from the host or the client side?

    - What does this script say? I copied at : http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/wsh/quickref/wscript_application.html I want to understand what it is trying to do. When I run the script, the msg said "They are equal". If somebody can explain how to make it say "they are different", I might understand better. ================================================ Set objWScript = WScript.Application If WScript = objWScript Then WScript.Echo "They're equal" Else WScript.Echo "They're different" End If -- alan Tag: Script to parse DL's and groups in AD Tag: 158381

    - Solution: Active Directory, create User, with mailbox and SMTP Address from Exel file Hi, I'm working in a rather big society in Italy, and some days ago my boss ask me for a script that add a user, insert into a group, create his mailbox, add an SMTP address and let the user use the mailbox immediately. After two days of work, searching the internet and on some books, I completed it, the script it's fully working now, it's very FAR from being perfect, but it also log everything in a file "output.txt". If you want to use this script "as is" you have only to change the initial variabiles and create data file INPUT.XLS as: name,surname,password,group,accountName,smtpAddress in each column. you can omit smtpAddress . To use it you need a Windows XP/2000/2003 workstation in the destination domain, Excel installed and you have to log as domain Admin I hope it can be useful to somebody, sorry for the comments and the log in italian.
