    - URL re-writing in classic ASP I want to automagically rewrite a url like: www.blah.com/index.asp?client=123 to www.blah.com/jonnyD What's the best approach to this using classic ASP? Do I need a 3rd party component or can this be done using IIS? (don't mind paying for something if it works better) Thanks, Peter -- "I hear ma train a comin' ... hear freedom comin" Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171572

    - problem running a dos cmd from a VBS file I have a problem trying to run a DOS cmd and redirect the output to a text file. The code below only works as far as the Messages Boxes display the correct information, ie. the paths are correct, but not test.txt file is being created! The purpose is to catch the output from a reverse DNS Lookup tool "zwhois.exe. Eventually, I want to run this code from either a VBS file or a web page, and display the result on screen, rather than having to run the cmd from a DOS prompt The DOS exe file can be downloaded from here: http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/code/zwhois.exe ' whois.vbs which resides in the same folder as the exe file Dim objWHShell Dim scriptPath Dim exeFile Dim txtFile Dim Cmd ' scriptPath is returned with a "\" appended at the end scriptPath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName,Len(Wscript.ScriptFullName) - Len(Wscript.ScriptName)) exeFile = scriptPath & "zwhois.exe -v 217.233.242.39 >> " ' -v = verbose followed by the IP to query txtFile =scriptPath & "test.txt" Cmd = exeFile & txtFile ' MsgBox exeFile ' MsgBox txtFile ' MsgBox Cmd RunFile Cmd Sub RunFile(CmdToRun) On Error Resume Next Set objWHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") objWHShell.Run Chr(34) & CmdToRun & Chr(34) Set objWHShell = Nothing End Sub -- Many Thanks in advance guys Joseph philippeoget at hotmail dot com http://www.geocities.com/philippeoget/a2z/ Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171563

    - Can WINNT:// or Winnmgnts: read accounts from a domian controller? I use Torgeir Bakken's script ( modified) to query only local administrator on servers (NT/win2k/win2k3). However, when a remote server is a domain controller, I get the information of the domain enterprise administor account, instead of the local administrator. I think I should not get anything on a remote DC since SAM is looked out on a DC. Why? Also I try to use example 2 to query all local user accounts. Again, when a remote server is a domain controller, I get all domain user accounts out. Why? **********Example 1 Begin ********** On Error Resume Next strComputer = Wscript.Arguments(0) strComputerNo = Wscript.Arguments(1) Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_UserAccount") If Err <> 0 Then Wscript.Echo strComputerNo & "," & strComputer & "," & Err.number & "," & Err.Description Wscript.Quit End If For Each objItem in colItems ' determine local administrator name by its SID 'If Left(objItem.SID, 9) = "S-1-5-21-" AND Right(objItem.SID, 4) = "-500" Then Wscript.Echo strComputerNo & "," & strComputer & "," & _ "Local administrator name:" & objItem.Name & "," & _ "Account Type: " & objItem.AccountType & "," & _ "Caption: " & objItem.Caption & "," & _ "Description: " & objItem.Description & "," & _ "Disabled: " & objItem.Disabled & "," & _ "Domain: " & objItem.Domain & "," & _ "Full Name: " & objItem.FullName & "," & _ "Lockout: " & objItem.Lockout & "," & _ "Password Changeable: " & objItem.PasswordChangeable & "," & _ "Password Expires: " & objItem.PasswordExpires & "," & _ "Password Required: " & objItem.PasswordRequired & "," & _ "SID Type: " & objItem.SIDType & "," & _ "Status: " & objItem.Status 'Exit For 'End If Next **********Example 1 End ********** **********Example 2 Begin ********** Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network") strComputer = Wscript.Arguments(0) 'strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "") colAccounts.Filter = Array("user") For Each objItem In colAccounts Wscript.Echo strComputer & "," & _ objItem.Name & "," & _ objItem.Description Next **********Example 2 End ********** "Torgeir Bakken (MVP)" <Torgeir.Bakken-spam@hydro.com> wrote in message news:OT8lFxoIFHA.2356@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Wensi Peng wrote: > > > Is it possible to change the password of the local administrator > > with GPO too? > Hi > > You could do it in a computer startup script (with a GPO) that runs > as part of the boot up process (before the user logs in). > > More here: > http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?selm=ewm7dAwCFHA.3740%40TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl > > > -- > torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway > Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of > the 1328 page Scripting Guide: > http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171560

    - IE Trusted Sites Not sure if wirting a script for this purpose is the easiest way to go... But it's always fun to do so, especially, when you get it going :- ) Anyway, basically, we have a vbs script that inputs a list of trusted sites both for Internet, Local Intranet, and Trusted Sites (all under the Security Tab). It works very well as far as its purpose... However, the annoying part though is that, after applying these parameters, whenever an access goes through any of the sites on the list and then redirects to another domain name, say, *.yahoo.com, it always ask if I wuld like to allow access to the redirected site. What I would like to accomplish is to get rid of this message and just let me through the redirected page. A script to do this?Or maybe just a quick registry change on the local system? I'll take any approach (he-he-he). Thank you so much :- ) Newbie ar11z4404@hotmail.com Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171558

    - Script to control/allow access to the Internet but allow Intranet Would anyone have a ready script or any info on writing a vbscript that will set a given system's (XP or 2000) Internet Explorer browser to work this way: Specific username (i.e. JDOE - may have admin rights or not on the local system) - Allow ONLY access to the Intranet (but not Internet access) - Completely no access to the Internet Explorer application at all Adminstrator(not the group) - Allow full access/use of the application for Internet and Intranet use.

    - can't get nbtstat to work using shell script in WINXP I found a script on this site to get the users MAC address using nbtstat. Here's the script: Function GetMACAddress(ByVal strIP) As String Dim net = CreateObject("wscript.network") Dim sh = Server.CreateObject("wscript.shell") sh.run("%comspec% /c nbtstat -A " & strIP & " > c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\mac\" & strIP & ".txt", 0, True) sh = Nothing Dim fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject") Dim ts = fso.opentextfile("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\mac\" & strIP & ".txt") Dim MacAddress As String Dim Data As String Do While Not ts.AtEndOfStream Data = UCase(Trim(ts.readline)) If InStr(Data, "MAC ADDRESS") Then MacAddress = Trim(Split(Data, "=")(1)) Exit Do End If Loop ts.close() ts = Nothing fso.deletefile("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\mac\" & strIP & ".txt") fso = Nothing GetMACAddress = MacAddress End Function My problem is that the file created is 0kb. I can't figure out why the script doesn't run properly. I tried replacing the nbtstat command with a dir command, and that works fine. Any ideas?It only happens in WINXP.The script works in win2000.Is there any permission issue? Thanks! Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171555

    - MsgBox to display while processing Hopefully there is a simple solution to my dilemma. I have a script as follows: 1. A MsgBox is displayed to ask user if they want to proceed. 2. After they click Yes, the MsgBox disappears and the script begins processing. 3. Processing takes about 30 seconds to complete. 4. After the processing has completed, a MsgBox is displayed to inform the user the process has completed. I'd like to have a MsgBox display during the 30 seconds of processing to tell the user to "Please wait." I don't need a progress bar or anything fancy like that - just a simple message so the user doesn't think the script has hung. Is this possible? Thanks!

    - VBscript Search and Replace conundrum I have an application where the INI files are "dumb" and always write the path c:\ to a couple of INI files. "vwcmim.ini" and "vwgsmm.ini" in the windows directory. I want to list drives (like xternal), check them for data directory, and if it's found replace c:\ with <drive:\> in the INI files. I've got to the point where it does process the files but instead of putting in the drive letter it just erases the old drive letter c: with a null string.

    - Wscript.Echo error in VBS Embeded in HTML Hi All: I have a script that I am writing that is basicly an HTML file with embeded VBS Coding. I am basicly designing the script so that it uses a small browser to open and have the user input an User ID & Server name (Via Text Input boxes) and when the click the submitt button the script goes off and verifies that a user folder is not on a share, and then creates it, shares it, permissions and reports to a log any errors. Now here is my problem. All of my VBS code is located in one big sub routine that is called when the user clicks the button in the browser. Now any time that I try to access anything with Wscript (Wscript.sleep or Wscript.echo) If give me an error stating "Object Required: Wscript". Any suggestions on how to avoid this so that I can use the wscript object. Thanks Lost Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171442

    - Error Checking in Logon Scripts I am not new to scripting but I am new to logon scripts. As a rule just how verbose should I let my logon scripts get? Currently I am doing most everything in vbs and a couple are .wsf. I am doing eror trapping and logging, (event logs, logging) now, is there a point where it becomes counter productive? Also is there a general preference for logon and GP scripts vbs or wsf? Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171422

    - search engine safe urls Hey, Anyone seen a good solution for Search Engine Safe URLs with Classic ASP? I've been looking for a while and short of using the 404 or installing tool on the server (for URL rewriting) I was hoping there might be something else.

    - Log file size tempoary event cosumer. Hello, Independent of the log file properties (things like specifying log file size, overwrite events, etc.) I'd like to create a temporary event consumer with vbscript to monitor log file size and send a message box to the user notifying them a given log is filling up. I searched Microsoft's website looking for event ID's related to EventLog. The only event ID I found for which I would monitor is 6000, The %1 log file is full. While this is a good start, I'd like to notify the user BEFORE the log gets too big... To me this is kinda like the oil pressure light in a car. As a warning light, that light is mostly useless because if it goes off for a real reason, chances are engine damage has already occurred. I looked in the Performance monitor for a counter object related to log file size and could find anything either. At any rate, does anyone know if a percentage of log file size can be actively monitored? Thanks!!! Tag: Start windows program from a script Tag: 171408

    - Re: Aaagh! cScript no longer Returning! ?? Hi Frank, This does not make any difference. Its very odd. It seems to be XP machines that cause this to hang. The weird thing is that it used to work a treat, and for some reason since the begining of this year it has never ever returned! I was redirecting to a file in terms of cscript.exe <cmdpath> <options> >>c:\install.txt and I thought perhaps it was a write protected c:\ issue. so I removed that. Here's what I am doing - this is straight from a cmd.exe prompt: Interesting: if you look, the first time I tried it I miss-spelled the .vbs script, and cscript did actually return OK. The next time I typed the correct .vbs file, and it never returned; ---------- C:\>cscript.exe C:\inetpub\AdminScripts\mkwebd-ir.vbs -c localhost -w "Default Web Site" -v "adminDir","C:\MyDir" Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.1 for Windows Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-1999.

You can run Notepad with Wscript.Shell object like this.

set wShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wShell.run "%windir%\notepad.exe ""C:\xxx\yyy.txt"" "
