    - Reading Binary File Hello all. I am in the process of converting some VB 6 code to a VB Script. One of the things this code does is read in a binary file and then return text to be put into a table. The function from the VB 6 code is this (watch for word wrap): Public Function GetMenuData(ByVal strTableName As String, nOffset As Integer, nLen As Integer) As String On Error Resume Next Dim strTableData As String Dim oFs As Scripting.FileSystemObject Set oFs = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject") If oFs.FileExists(strTableName) Then Dim hFile As Integer hFile = FreeFile Open strTableName For Binary Access Read As #hFile strTableData = String$(nLen, " ") '&H0) Get #hFile, nOffset, strTableData Close #hFile Else g_oErr.AddMessage MODULE_NAME, "GetMenuData", "Missing " & strTableName, App Debug.Print "Table " & strTableName & " is missing." 'This will force the application to stop Debug.Assert (1 = 2) End If Set oFs = Nothing GetMenuData = strTableData End Function Not having worked with binary files, I did some research and found some code from the internet which seemed to do what I wanted. I made a couple of modifications. The new VB Script code is this: Function GetMenuData(strTableName,nOffset, nLen) Dim I, S, oInFile Dim oFs, Binary Set oFs = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject") If oFs.FileExists(strTableName) Then Set oInFile = oFS.OpenTextFile(strTableName, 1) Binary = oInfile.ReadAll For I = nOffset To nlen S = S & Chr(AscB(MidB(Binary, I, 1))) Next msgbox S GetMenuData = S End If End Function The new code doesn't return anything. I know the binary files have data in them. Is there anything wrong with the script? Also, is there an easy way to see what is in the binary file? Thanks, Jennifer Tag: Securing sdql connection string in old asp Tag: 205800

    - List devices with ConfigManagerErrorCode = 1? How can I get a list of devices with error code 1? I've put together this small script which should be able to list devices with an errorcode <> 0, but for some reason it doesnt list devices with errorcode 1. Other errorcodes seem to be listed fine. ___________________________________________________________________________ set osvc = getObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2") Set devices = osvc.InstancesOf("Win32_PNPEntity Where ConfigManagerErrorCode <> 0") For Each device In devices wscript.echo "Device: " & device.ConfigManagerErrorcode & " " & device.name Next ___________________________________________________________________________ I've tried setting the selection to "Win32_PNPEntity Where ConfigManagerErrorCode = 1" but no luck with that either. If a user clicks the Cancel button when the "Found New Hardware" wizard appears the device ends up with error code 1, so it would be a great help if I could catch those devices as well, in a troubleshooting script. Any suggestions? /Robert Tag: Securing sdql connection string in old asp Tag: 205790

    - Script Error All, I am looking for some insight for a problem I am having in doing a series of calls to AD to populate a recordset. The error I receive is: (null): The server is not operational. On this line of code: Set objTarget = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDN & "," & Domain) This usually happens on the 1979 to 1984 call to AD. I have rebuilt the workstation (XP SP2) and the DC (WIN2K SP4) is a saved state virtual machine I can roll back to a baseline at will. Everything was running fine up to a couple days ago and I have reverted the code to a state that runs fine, but there is no functional difference in the current to the reverted code. ADUC will not pull up properties on a Group for a couple minutes after the error, displaying the "Server is not Operational" message on a blank object window. I have run traces on the workstation and server and nothing is out of the ordinary. I am stumped, in 6 years of ADSI this one is a new one on me. I am sure there is some boneheaded error or something I am overlooking. Any insight as to where I am going wrong is appreciated.

    - USB - How can I ??? I have at least two USB devices providing service to/for at least two disk drives. One is an external drive plugged into one of the USB ports on my Koutech F7210 card reader: 4 types of memory cards = 4 drives being used, through just one (1) USB controller ( I think ). 2 USB ports 2 Firewire ports 1 external SATA port My basic problem is that when the PC boots up, my card reader uses/creates four (4) disk drives, one for each of the memory card types the system can deal with. I only have Compact Flash cards. Can I, and if so, HOW can I, disable three (3) out of the four (4) drives? ( BEFORE or AFTER the disk drives are created makes no differnece to me. I'd just like to be able to automate this process, if the capability exists. ) In fact, I want to **STOP** three (3) out of the four (4), so the three (3) "extras" will disappear. I've read elsewhere about disabling the external drive capability altogether, say for flash drives and such. But I don't want to get rid of ALL my USB drives, just "some" of them. Does anyone know? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tom Tag: Securing sdql connection string in old asp Tag: 205738

    - Store passwords in scripts ("Best practice"?) Hi, We have a Terminal services serverfarm where users login to execute their ERP-applications. Each user has a loginscript in VBscript. The loginscript must access data in a MSSQL-database on each logon... The question: how do i connect to the MSSQL-server from the vbscript in a "secure" way? The "easy"(and IMO _wrong_) way is to store the connectionstring directly in the source of the script...But anyone who has a bit of computer knowledge will be able to view the source of the loginscripts and see the username/password for the SQL-server... How do you do it? Is it possible to save logon-scripts as "execute only/denie read"? Or is there a good way to store the "connection"(or login-credentials) when writing the VBscripts? Thanks!

    - Upload to an sftp server using vbscript Hello All, I am going to try this again. I apparently posted this in the wrong group before and was 'politely' told to post it here. This question isn't simple and I have noticed often people ask for more information so I will give you the whole story upfront: I recently started a new job and in the past they have solved a lot of simple tasks by utilizing vbs files. I am pretty fluent in Visual Basic but a little new to vbs files so this has been an 'interesting' transition as it is. Currently I have a vbs file that runs a rather elaborate query against an SQL server, the data is exported to a csv file and then emailed to a client. This vbs file actually works really well, however the client has requested that we start uploading it to an sftp site instead. Instead of reinventing the wheel I assumed that I could replace a few email lines of code with a few ftp commands. I researched the web and found several examples utilizing ftp.exe. Through further research I found that ftp.exe offers no support for a port higher than 21. Therefore I assume that ftp.exe offers no support for sftp. Can anyone offer me a solution that will allow me to upload to an sftp server without rewriting this code in some other format! Thanks, tooMuchCode Tag: Securing sdql connection string in old asp Tag: 205723

    - VBScript and FileSystemObject I have a website that allows FileSystemObject to be used on files on the website itself. But when I use WriteLine to try and add to the file, nothing happens and the file has not been changed. It works when I have it modify the file on my hard drive, but when I try to have it modify the one on the website, it doesn't work. The two files, one called test.htm, and the one with the code that modifies test.htm, are both in the same folder. This is the code I use to open the file - I think this is where the problem is occuring... dim fso, thefile Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set thefile = fso.OpenTextFile("test.htm", 8, False) Is there something I need to add in front of the "test.htm" to get it to look on the website itself instead of on the user's hard drive?

    - HTA blocked by "safety settings"? I have an HTA that when I run it I get an error: "Safety settings on this computer prohibit accessing a data source on another domain." This error is at the following code line: BinaryStream.LoadFromFile sFileName The program is being run from a network; the file it is trying to load is in the same folder as the HTA; the path and file names are solid; the source file is not password protected. I thought this was especially odd since as I understand it, HTAs are supposed to allow you to bypass a lot of the security imposed by other methods... Any idea why this is occurring or how I can work around it? I'm dead in the water at this point...and just when I thought I was done... Thanks a lot in advance for your help/input.

    - Calling a function from a function I am trying to clean up a script that has alot of duplicate code in it. I am trying to put everything in a function as to componantize it. I am a VBScript newbie. My question is: Why do I get no data return when calling a function from a function. Has the data been destroyed when the function ended? Example below. Thanks in advance. ************************************************ Set WshShl = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'msgBox("Hello") Inputinfo DisplayInfo Function Inputinfo() strusername = Inputbox("Enter Name") End Function Function DisplayInfo() Msgbox(strUserName) End Function ***************************************************************** Tag: Securing sdql connection string in old asp Tag: 205691

    - Taskbar Magnifier PowerToy The Taskbar Magnifier powertoy is nice but inconvenient because: 1) you have to rightclick on the taskbar, 2) you have to select Toolbars, 3) you have to select Taskbar Magnifier, 4) if you don't like the title "Magnifier" next to it you have to rightclick on it, and 5) you have to uncheck Title To close it is easier but still: 1) you have to rightclick on the taskbar, 2) you have to select Toolbars, 3) you have to unselect Taskbar Magnifier. I would like to have some code to put in a file so when I'll click the shortcut of the file in the Quick Launch toolbar: 1) if the Taskbar Magnifier is closed it will open it an unselect Title. 2) if it is open to close it. That would make its use much more convenient. Can someone help?

    - alternative to Wscript.Quit for use in HTA I have written a simple script to copy some files and then run sysprep. When a file or folder does not exist I use the wscript.quit command to stop the script. In order for my script to be more user friendly I would like to use a HTA. I have searching on the internet for the past 3 days and can not find a answer to this question. How to I quit a vbscript inside a HTA. (with quiting the current HTA window) here is my sample vbscript: Sub copynetworkfiles Dim Titlenetwork Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FolderExists(NetworkFolder) Then objFSO.CopyFile NetworkFolder & "*.*" , "c:\sysprep" , OverwriteExisting Dirlog = Dirlog & "Copied Folder All Files From " & NetworkFolder & strDriveLetter & VbCrLf Else Titlenetwork = "No Network Drive" MsgBox "Unable to find " & NetworkFolder & VbCrLf & "Script will now quit", 16 , Titlenetwork WScript.quit End If End Sub Once I port this to hta the wscript.quit does not work. Now I understand why I just want a way to stop the script running. At the moment I have about 10 subs and the script just keeps running and will therefore error more and more. Really looking for easy workaround, I have read that maybe forcing an error may work and then write an error on for that error return code? Any Ideas???????????????????

    - Can I break out of vbScript by causing error..... let me explain I have a vbScript that checks to see if the ASP.NET Web Service Extension is first, present and, if so, enabled. I would like to call this from a third party CD Browser authoring tool (AutoPlay by Indigo Rose). I'm able to call the script from a button on our created browser, but I don't know if its possible to pass any information from the script back to the AutoPlay created browser. So, what I was hoping to do was if the extension is not present or not enabled, somehow cause the script to blow out with an error. I think I can store the resulting code from the call in my browser. However, I've tried everything and including 'On Error Resume Next' causes the AutoPlay browser to see the script as completing successfully. Anyway, here's the script... Dim aWebSvcExtRestrictionList Dim extension, sExt, Found on error resume next aWebSvcExtRestrictionList = Array() Set IIsWebServiceObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC") ' Store original value: aWebSvcExtRestrictionList = IIsWebServiceObj.WebSvcExtRestrictionList For extension = 0 to UBound(IIsWebServiceObj.WebSvcExtRestrictionList) sExt = IISWebServiceObj.Get("WebSvcExtRestrictionList")(extension) If (0 < (InStr(sExt, "Microsoft.NET\Framework \v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll"))) Then If ("0" = Left(sExt, 1)) then 'Blow out with error that may be caught by AutoPlay, but with no message Elseif ("1" = Left(sExt, 1)) Then 'Do nothing here Else 'Blow out with error that may be caught by AutoPlay, but with no message end if Else 'Blow out with error that may be caught by AutoPlay, but with no message end if Next Any pointers, info, help Greatly Appreciated!!!

    - Adding users to a Security Group based on AD Description field Hi all. I am creating a script that will create an Active Directory OU structure, then create a Global Group and then add users to AD from a CSV file. What I want to do from here, is to be able to populate the newly created Global Group with users. I want to do this by reading the CSV file, and based on an arrInput (3) value (which is the description of the user created) I want to put them into the correct Global Group. The text file reads as follows: FirstName,LastName,UserName,Description or for a real world example: John,Doe,jdoe,Help Desk Now, based on that information, I have created the script below and keep in mind this is only a snippit of the code. What I want to focus on, is why I can run the script, everything works perfectly and I get no errors, however the script finishes without adding the users to the groups. I'm hoping someone can help me out and maybe point out something I'm overlooking. I can post the entire script if need be....Thanks in advance!!

    - Wrap calls in a Sub that fires when opened? I have a VBS file with about half a dozen functions; how do I designate in which order to call them when the file is loaded? I like systematic order; so I would like to wrap the calls in a Sub, but then how do you get the Sub to run? OR, do I just place my calls at the top of the file and run the functions in sequence that way?... I've been writing short scripts for awhile, but this is the first time I've needed a few function calls. Thanks in advance... Tag: Securing sdql connection string in old asp Tag: 205635

I have an old asp app that I am managing and I haven't been given the go
ahead to rewrite the system.

It has a db connection in directly in the asp with username and password.
What steps can I take to secure this connection string?

Thanks
