    - Adding users to groups in AD I have the code from the TechNet Script center for adding users to groups which works great. But what do you do if you do not know the OU the user is in. Is there a way to search AD and return the value so that it can be passed to the code which will be adding the users to the group. I am interested in on creating a utility to add members to a group by providing a list of users in a text file. Paul Glickenhaus Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 165123

    - Null return to registry query Problem: Connection to the registry returns null value Platform: Windows XP, SP1 Users: Runs as logon script under normal user credentials. The line of code that returns the null value is: Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:root\default:StdRegProv") To note is that the script works on some configurations and not others. I assumed the problem was security related and replaced the code with: Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\root\default:StdRegProv") to no avail. I have noticed the security log consistently logs event 577, privilege use failure audit indicating "Privileges: SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege". This may or may not be related. I was wondering if anyone else had seen similar behavior in especially locked down environments. Thanks. Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 165119

    - Event log monitoring I have a script written to monitor logs and send out an SMTP mail message to me. Problem is - If a server has a problem on the SAME event (i.e. Symantec Errors) I only want it to send me the message 1 time Here is what I have thought of to fix it: Every time an event occurs - it appends to a txt file the event id code. Everytime it finds an error - it first checks that file to see if that event id is in there. if it is, it skips it. I will delete this file 1 time a day with another script to stop it from running. My question: How do I code it to append something to a txt file - I know that is an easy one Next, how do I check it, or read it to say if its found, then skip it. else send out the mail Thanks in advance Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 165118

    - VBScript, ASP, and Active Directory We are trying to use vbscript in a .asp page to authenicate a user in our Active Directory. The following works correctly against our main domain. Both the user name and password is validated properly. strADsPath=WinNT://domain.com strUser =domain.com\j5c Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUser, strPassword, 0) Hereâ??s where the issue is, we have a separate domain for each site. Users at each site are in the site domain and not in the main domain. For example, the site domain is called ada.domain.com on server ada-admin1. I have a user account with j5c as the username in both the ada.domain.com and domain.com domains. The following will find the j5c user but I can put anything in for the password. It finds j5c in the main domain, domain.com based on writing out the values I put in the description field on the j5c account in both domains. The return code is always 0 with a correct user name and any password. strADsPath =WinNT://ada.domain.com/ada-admin1 strUser =ada.domain.com\j5c Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUser, strPassword, 0) If I donâ??t include the server name, ada-admin1, in strADsPath =WinNT://ada.domain.com/ada-admin1, it does find the ada.domain.com domain. Iâ??m not sure if the issue is the way we have Active Directory set up or the syntax for pointing to the site domains. Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 165086

    - finding a URL in dynamically written html I have a site that does a Response.Write() to create a table of contents from an XML transformation. This happens each time a page is served up. The system works fine, but I would like to find the anchor in the HTML table of contents that matches the current page and change its class. Obviously, I could do that with a client-side script, but I'd much rather do that in ASP/vbscript. Is there a way for vbscript to do that? I can't even get a test script to find the id of the root. I've placed the script immediatly after the script that does the transform. Jeff Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 165075

    - Running VBScript in Outlook 2003 Hi, System Details: Windows XP Professional SP2, Outlook 2003 SP1, IE6 SP2. I have a Java appliaction that constructs a HTML Email and sends it to a mail client. In the HTML Email I have embeded some VBSCRIPT which is called via the ONCLICK event of an <A> tag. In the VBScript I create an XML document then mail it via the Outlook API. On Win2K and Outlook 2000 this worked fine but now, when I click the link in Outlook 2003, nothing happens (no "Cannot Create ActiveX" messages either) !!! I have tried putting the message into the Internet zone (with low security) and the same occurred. I replaced my script with a simple message box call and this never activates either. I've even tried the "One-off-form" registry hack, again to no avail. If I load the sent HTML into a browser it works OK so I am sure the syntax is right. Here is an example of the link and script... <a style="cursor:hand;color:green;text-decoration:underline" onclick="OpenNewMail('test','test')">OK</a> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"> Sub OpenNewMail(strAddress, strSubjectLine) MsgBox "In OpenNewMail" End Sub </SCRIPT> Can anyone suggest how I can get vbscript to work in a HTML email in Outlook 2003 (has anyone got it to work!)? Is there some sort of new METADATA setting to make the HTML Outlook 2003 friendly perhaps? Any help would be massively appreciated as this is driving me barmy!

There are two tick boxes: (1) Automatically Detect Settings (2) Use Automatic Configuration Script For some sites, I need only the first tick box checked. For some sites, I need only the second tick box checked. I never need both checked at once, or both unchecked at once. I want to write one VBS file that will check #1.

    - Count Physical Processors: Exclude Hyperthreading..? Hi there I am currently using the following code snippet to retrieve the number of processors installed on my servers: Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strSrv & "\root\cimv2") Set colSettings = objWMI.ExecQuery _ ("Select Name, MaxClockSpeed from Win32_Processor") For Each objProcessor in colSettings Wscript.Echo strSrv & "," & colSettings.Count & "," & TRIM(objProcessor.Name) 'Wscript.Echo "MaxClockSpeed: " & objProcessor.MaxClockSpeed Exit For Next The problem with this, is that if a Server has Hyperthreading enabled, it reports twice the actual number of physicall processors. Does anyone perhaps know how I can establish whether Hyperthreading is enabled, so then at least I can divide by 2 to get the actual count. Or alternatively, is there a different object that I can query for this..? Thanks William R. Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 165025

I tried Group Policy Software installation, but it has proven only 20% effective because on quite a lot of the machines (I've got a specific OU dedicated for the SP2 install set at the computer level) don't take it and shows: source Userenv event 1085 User NT Authority\System Group Policy client side extension software installationfailed to execute & Application Manager 108 same user Failed to apply changes to software install So I've been looking for a scripting idea. Now running the below script on a XP sp2 box logged in as Domain Admin to tell another XP box merely to open notepad. Comes back with: ActiveX component can't create object 800A01AD MS VBS runtime error. set oController = CreateObject("WSHController") set oProcess = oController.CreateScript ("c:\notepad.vbs", "ADMWXPBilingual") oProcess.Execute While oProcess.Status <> 2 WScript.Sleep 100 WEnd WScript.Echo "Done" The above computer has the remote setting in the reg, the notepad.vbs works if I run it locally I'm not finding a solution on the internet. Does anyone have any good suggestions, or ideas for deployment products that work? Many thanks Hunter Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 164996

    - Help With Checkboxes Hi all, I have the following code to use checkboxes on my page: if instr(Request.form("chkWorkType"),"03") then response.write("<td width=""23%"" class=""detaillp""><input type=""checkbox"" name=""chkWorkType"" value=""03"" checked=""check"">Exterior</td>") else response.write("<td width=""23%"" class=""detaillp""><input type=""checkbox"" name=""chkWorkType"" value=""03"">Exterior</td>") end if if instr(Request.form("chkWorkType"),"7A") then response.write("<td width=""25%"" class=""detaillp""><input type=""checkbox"" name=""chkWorkType"" value=""7A"" checked=""check"">Ceilings</td>") else response.write("<td width=""25%"" class=""detaillp""><input type=""checkbox"" name=""chkWorkType"" value=""7A"">Ceilings</td>") end if There are 14 checkboxes on the form, I only showed the code for two, but the remainder of them are coded the same way. I am trying have one or more of the boxes checked when the page is displayed. I tried to put a value or two in the chkWorkType field: chkWorkType= oRS.fields("shty1") & oRS.fields("shty2") & oRS.fields("shty3") But when I reach the code to display the checkboxes, the chkWorkField returns an empty string. How can I pre-check some of the boxes? Thanks, George *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

    - Error Handling with Creating AD Users Hi guys, I'm having some troubles trying to use error handling in my vbscript. My script is to create users in Active Directory, and I want to catch errors like "object already exists" so I can dump a list of users that couldn't be created and so on. The way I've tried to do error handling is basically with an If statement that tests if Err.number <> 0. The problem is that it doesn't catch any of the errors... For example, say I try to create a user for the second time, so that I know it already exists. If I run the script (without "On Error Resume Next") in a command prompt, I get the output something like "C:\createusers.vbs (132, 2) (null): The object already exists." If I run it with "On Error Resume Next" the script just runs to completion without my error handling code being triggered at all. Here's the code. The error is for line 132, indicated. set objUser = parent.create("user", "cn=" & strUser) 132-> objUser.setinfo If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear Wscript.Echo "User " & strUser & " cannot be created" Wscript.Echo "User may already exist" End If It seems to me that the problem is that these errors have an Err.number of (null). Is that right? Why would that be the case? How can I get around this problem and catch these errors so I can do something with them? Thanks for your help. -Ryan Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 164983

    - Running scripts in Outlook forms I have scripts set up in custom Outlook forms that take the information in the various fields and transfers it to an Access database. They are supposed to work and are not. The settings for MACROS in Outlook are set at the lowest security so that doesn't appear to be the problem. Does someone know what "provider" or other add-on is needed to make these scripts work? Tag: Using vbs to set power settings Tag: 164981

In the Item_CustomPropertyChange subroutine I try and access it and there is nothing in it. This works in Outlook 2003 VB scripting but not in Outlook 2000. Is there a way round this?
