    - 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: VBscript and Visual Basic 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?

    - 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: VBscript and Visual Basic 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.

    - Set windows file permissions Hi All I have recently changed to a windows 2003 web server and I previously used the ADsSecurity object to set folder permissions on webs that were created using vbscript. Now, I get a cannot create object error and I assume this is because the ADsSecurity.dll does not exist on windows server 2003. I was wandering if I should register this dll with 2003 and if my code should then work or if there is a new way of doing things with windows server 2003. Any advice would be truly welcomed.

    - xml /text-file issue Hi, I create an XML-file with a vb-script containing an AS database. This file I load in the Analysis Services dso/xml console. I create my file with VbS: Set objFSObject = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = objFSObject.CreateTextFile("dso.xml", 8, True) This works great as long as I copy all the content of my textfile into and replace all the content of a generated file from DSO/XML convertion utility. But if I try to use my file direct with the dso/xml console nothing happens. If start "my" XML-file with IE there is an errormessage and no text shows up, but if I replace the content of a generated file it shows up in a coorect and structured way. Is there different types of xml-files ? I thought that any text-file named .xml would work. /Jerome Tag: VBscript and Visual Basic Tag: 171373

An example of my idea is Winamp program, which in the default version opens only once and when somebody wants to open two Winamp programs in the same time it is rather impossible or settings change is then needed.

    - wscript.quit 8004005 Error I have a WSF script that we use with SMS to install software. The script calls the cmd line for an installation (setup.exe, MsiExec.exe, etc.) I am using the following line to call the install: strRunTime = oshell.run(strCMD,1,1) WScript.Quit(strRunTime) strRunTime captures the return value from the setup and passes it to wscript.quit so that SMS will know whether the install was successful. Here's the issue this code is working on literally 1000s of machines; however, there are 2 that will process the script trhough the strRunTime line and then throw the unspecified 80004005 error from source null. Oddly, the line number that is throws with the error is part of a second portion of embedded code in the wsf. a snipet of the code is below.

    - Net Send or an alternative Hi, I have used Net Send to communicate with other machines on my LAN but have trouble with it on some new XP SP2 machines. I've started the Messenger Service but seem to be missing something. It works with some machines but not all. What am I missing. It's not a firewall issue. I had no problems with my old Win2K machines. Are there alternatives to the Net Send to sent a pop-up message to others? thanks, Mike Tag: VBscript and Visual Basic Tag: 171322

    - Need to run cacls from ASP Hi I'm working on a create user script, and need to give user Full Controll of his/hers home directory. A Web Application will be doing a HTTP-request to an ASP, which then will run the create user script. I have already set myself, an admin user, in the Anonymous Access in the Directory Security for the web site. I did this cause no script would run, and interactiv logon is not an option since its a web application which will be making the request. But cacls wouldn't do anything anyway. This is how I called cacls: set obj = Server.createObject ("wScript.shell") Call obj.Run("cacls " & USER_ROOT_UNC & "\" & un & " /e /g " & un & ":F", HIDE_WINDOW, WAIT_ON_RETURN ) The ASP ran to the end, but when i checked the ACL of the directory, the user wasn't included, and the cacls command hadn't done a thing. I got a tip from a friend, and installed dynu.dll and used that exec method. Then it returned: Access Denied. rsCmd = "cacls " & USER_ROOT_UNC & "\" & un & " /e /g " & un & ":F" Set myexec = Server.Createobject("Dynu.Exec") Response.Write(myexec.execute( rsCmd )) Is there a way to authenticate an admin user, so I can remove my admin user from Anonymous Access and/or run the script?

    - .ini file to read script values Hi, I have created a few scripts for monitoring purposes that need input like hostname, logfile path name, etc. Instead of hardcoding all values into each script I thought about using a .ini file to hold the values which in turn can be read by my scripts. I.E: ********** start .ini file ********** [hostname] myserver1 [logfile path] C:\folder\logfiles ********** end .ini file ********** The scripts use the following code to read the .ini file: ********** script example ********** Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strINIfile = "C:\folder\file.ini" ' Open INI file to retrieve string values Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strINIfile, OPEN_FILE_FOR_READING) Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream strText = objTextFile.ReadLine If Instr(strText, "[hostname]") Then strLogPath = objTextFile.ReadLine End If If Instr(strText, "[logfile path]") Then strSchemaPath = objTextFile.Readline Exit Do End If Loop objTextFile.Close Set objTextFile = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing ********** end script example ********** This all works very nice, but to me it looks like a little bit of spaghetti-programming; does anyone know a nicer (more professional) way of achieving the same result?

    - HOWTO: Use DotNet Created DLL in VBScript Can I create a DLL in Visual Studio .Net 2003 using VB.NET as the programming language and call it from a VBScript program using Server.CreateObject? Is there any example code? I want to use the .Net sockets functionality, via System.Network.Sockets to replace the unstable Winsock control. I need to handle TCP sockets communication between two computers in a vbscript file because I only have the capability of loading vbscript macros into another software product I purchased. Currently, I have a vbscript file that does a Server.CreateObject("MSWinsockConstant","MSWinsock") and connects to a TCP server that sends it data, but there are issues when disconnecting. I need to upgrade this to a more stable solution. -- Thank you kindly, Dan Sikorsky MSCS, BSCE, BAB Tag: VBscript and Visual Basic Tag: 171292

I only know a little about both VBscript and Visual Basic.
I have written a few vbscripts that i would like to add a gui to. Can
any one tell me if i can simply make up a visual basic window (form) and
run the script with some text boxes and buttons.

thanks in advance

I was able to use vbscript within a basic VB6 application. It was a vbscript
that changed the IP settings of the machine. The VB form was a two radio
buttons and a single command button to "Set Location". When pressed, it ran
the vbscript.

The application worked perfectly.

I don't know how well vbscript and vb6 (or .net) work together, but it
worked ok for that small application.

i'm sure McKirahan is right when he points to HTA though. That's the
direction i'll be heading in next time.
