    - Populate a web form with Excel data I want to have a search box on a web page. The user enters what they want to search for in an Excel sheet that resides on the server and the data is populated in a form. There are not more than one record to be returned. I think you can use VBScript to do this but have limited experience using it. Can anyone provide an example? Thanks Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 206024

    - rs.RecordCount issue... hi guys I'm having a problem with the code below. The SQL statement runs fine and i've even checked the database in the backgroud and it contains a perfect set of records waiting to be picked up ... yet the rs.RecordCount funtion is returning a value which is 1 less than the correct figure. i checked the database on various instances and see that it always misses the last line, of the recordset. anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? txtRecordset.CursorLocation = adUseClient txtRecordset.Open "SELECT " & tab35 & ".prefix, " & tab35 & ".Indexing, " & tab35 & ".extension, " & tab36 & ".Title FROM " & tab35 & " INNER JOIN " & tab36 & " ON " & tab35 & ".Indexing = " & tab36 & ".Indexing", txtConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic 'msgbox "Check client_DB temp" 'results are perfect in the DB... the recCount value is wrong. not picking up the last value. Dim RecCount RecCount = txtRecordset.RecordCount TotalRecCount = TotalRecCount + RecCount --- end. Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 206018

    - Check if group exists before creating it Hi all, Having "borrowed" this script and modified, it works fine by itself. I want to use this as part of a loop to create groups and populate from a file with format group|user ' SimpleGroup.vbs ' Sample VBScript to create a Global Security Group ' Author Guy Thomas http://computerperformance.co.uk/ ' Version 2.4 - May 2005 ' ----------------------------------------------------------' Dim strOU, strGroup, strDNSDomain Dim objOU, objGroup, objUser ' Check - Make sure you have the OU referenced by strOU strOU = "OU=Newport," strNewGp = "Coal Porters1" strNewGpLong = "CN=" & strNewGp Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE") strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("DefaultNamingContext") ' Create new Group Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://" & strOU & strDNSDomain ) Set objGroup = objOU.Create("Group",strNewGpLong) objGroup.Put "sAMAccountName", strNewGp objGroup.setInfo Wscript.Quit ' End of Simple Group VBScript.

    - Check all files in all subfolders and obtain newest file Hello all. What I'm trying to do is the following: 1. Get a list of all files in all subfolders from a starting point (D:\Test). 2. Get the newest file from this list. 3. Indicate whether this newest file is more than 90 minutes old. Searching through previous posts, I've used elements of 3 different scripts to put a new script together: '~~~ Create Dynamic Array for Filenames Dim arrFiles(), i Redim arrFiles(-1) sFolder = "D:\Test" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(sFolder) Set colFiles = objFolder.Files CheckSubFolders(objFolder) Sub CheckSubFolders(objFolder) Set colFolders = objFolder.SubFolders For Each objSubFolder In colFolders Set colFiles = objSubFolder.Files '~~ Populate the array with filenames from each SubFolder For Each objFile In colFiles Redim Preserve arrFiles(UBound(arrFiles) + 1) arrFiles(UBound(arrFiles)) = objFile.Path Next '~~ Repeat subroutine until all SubFolders have been checked CheckSubFolders(objSubFolder) Next End Sub '~~~ From the Array of Filenames get the newest file Dim vDT, vFName, NewestFile For i = 0 To UBound(arrFiles) Set oFile = objFSO.GetFile(arrFiles(i)) WScript.Echo oFile.Path & vbTab & oFile.DateLastModified IF oFile.DateLastModified > vDT Then vFName = oFile.Path vDT = oFile.DateLastModified End If Next NewestFile = vFName Wscript.Echo vbCrlf & NewestFile & vbCrlf '~~~ Check if newest file is more than 90 minutes old Set oFile = objFSO.GetFile(NewestFile) IF DateDiff("n",oFile.DateCreated,Now) > 90 Then Wscript.Echo "File is more than 90 minutes old." END IF Set objFSO = nothing Set objFolder = nothing Set colfiles = nothing Set colFolders = nothing Set oFile = nothing My script works fine, but I'm guessing it could probably be streamlined and some redundancy removed. Or, maybe there's a completely different and better method that can be used. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Dave Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 206004

    - Creating an Domain DFS Root link Hi all, i used the script strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root \cimv2") Set objDfsNode = objWMIService.Get("Win32_DfsNode") errReturn = objDfsNode.Create _ ("\\atl-dc-02\Scripts","\\atl-dc-02","Scripts", _ "New Dfs node for shared scripts.") but this is creating the DFS root for standalone server but not for the "Domain DFS root" if the value of "errReturn is 0" it means that the dfs kink is created but if a non 0 value is returened it means that the script failed. so the above script works fine for creating standalone dfs link but not for the domain dfs root link Is there a way we could create a Domain DFS Root link thru script? if yes pls let me know Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205999

    - Why did a subroutine fix my problem? I posted a few days ago about an 800A0046 permissions issue I was seeing only on a specific server as a specific type of user in regards to a CreateObject fuction. I saw an example of someone else's FSO script that used a subroutine to call their createobjects so I thought I would try it, and it worked! but I don't know why. Here is the script that bombs with a permissions denied for CreateObject on line 2 (only for local admins and domain users; for domain admins it runs fine): Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") MsgBox "Hello World" Set fso = nothing Here is the script that runs fine for all users: Dim fso sub blabla Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") end sub MsgBox "Hello World" Set fso = nothing Any idea why the subroutine fixed the issue?

    - Configuring a script, entering values Hi All! I maintain a server checking script that we use to perform daily tasks on an array of servers such as check free disk space, which services have stopped e.t.c. I've recently created an installer for this to help make the process a little easier (since some functions require the use of an exe) which nicely places all the needed files into a set location. What I'd really like to do though is this: The script itself has several variables that must be defined (such as the servers in the array and the username/password it logs onto each server with e.t.c.). I'd like to make it so that after the installer finishes it runs another script (which I can setup in the installer no problem, its the script I need help with). I'd like it so that this secod script bring up prompt boxes (or whatever you want to call them) where you can then enter in the information needed for each variable, so you'd be prompted to enter in the servers in the array, the username to be used e.t.c. The idea being that you'd have no actually need to go into the script itself uness you encountered a problem. How would I go about doing this? Can it be done through a script or do I need to do this some other way? Any advice/help would be much appreciated :-) Thanks, Sam -- _______________________________ Sam Richardson Technical Support Administrator Central Business Services ________________________________ Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205989

    - Search for Files by creation date Hey guys, I'm new to vbs. (Don't they all say that?) I'm trying to automate a task at work using vbs. Basically, I need a count of files from a folder AND sub-folders for all .pdf files created today. The path is Z:\C89\ and it remains constant and the file names are formatted as such: xxxx20070518.pdf, where the current date + 5 days is embedded into the file name. (I can't get the wildcard to work-that's why I thought I'd mention it.) Next, I'd like for the script to send me the results in an email. e.g. "The C89 folder has 50 pdf files" We use Windows Exchange on XP/2003 here. I've tried to piece together code from different sites, but I always end up with some error. I don't mind cracking open a book and learning vbs from scratch-which I intend to do, but I'm up against a deadline. Regards~ Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205985

    - Script to change password for Local Admin account question Ok...as my education continues into the world of scripting (still a infant here), I have some questions. I need to reset the password of all the local domain accounts on our servers. I thought a script + GPO would be a handy method. Since I am pretty new at scripting, I decided to google for some suggestions and came up with a few interesting things and wanted to ask some questions here. First, I found this one from 'The Scripting guy': Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Finance, DC=fabrikam, DC=com") objOU.Filter = Array("Computer") For Each objItem in objOU strComputer = objItem.CN Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/ Administrator") objUser.SetPassword("i5A2sj*!") Next You change the OU and Domain as you suggested. Which brings a quick question. Suppose your OU has spaces. Something like: Server bin Does that change how you set it up in the script? Do you need to quote it within the quotes? That script seems fairly straightforward. Then I found this one: '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Initialization - Declare variables '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim fsoIn, fsoOut Dim inFile, outFile Dim arrComputerNames Dim objUser Dim strComputer Dim newPassword Dim ErrorOccurred Const ForReading = 1 Const ForWriting = 2 Const ForAppending = 8 Const inFilename = "servers.txt" Const outFilename = "ChangePwdServers.log" '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' Main script '------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Error Resume Next ErrorOccurred = False ' Insert WARNING here...

    - Odd 800A0046 Permission Denied error OK, I am no scripting king, but I know when something doesn't make sense. I have one Citrix server out of four that generates an 800A0046 errors on the CreateObject launching the login script. So I created a simple script that has objFSO defined: 'On Error Resume Next Dim objFSO Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") MsgBox "Hello World" Set objFSO = nothing When executed from the suspect citrix server as a testuser with basic domain user rights, I get Permission denied: 'CreateObject'. Now just to make sure it wasn't a local rights issue for filer permissions, I granted the testuser local admin permissions to the server and I get the same thing. I did install SP6 for for vb 6.0 and that didn't help. Got any ideas? Thanks Kevin Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205910

    - cant append to string and use as object i build a collection by executing a wql query. i need to echo a specific property, of an instance in a class. this is fine if its all hardcoded. im passing args to the script so that i can grab any property, class, instance. the problem is that i cant seem to append anything to the "objItem." in my for loop consider this query: Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\somecomputer\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT someProperty FROM someClass WHERE Name = 'someName'") the below would work fine: For Each objItem In colItems wscript.echo objItem.AvgDiskReadQueueLength Next but if AvgDiskReadQueueLength was passed as an argument and stored in strProp, the below fails For Each objItem In colItems wscript.echo objItem. & strProp Next i really need this to work. any ideas?

    - Auto sizing control to display a path In an HTA, I need a control or other object that can grow and shrink based on its contents; I need this to stay on one line; the user cannot edit it, but it needs to be accessible for read/write from VBScript. The contents will be a string network path to a folder selected by the user (I can already do this part), thus the varying lengths needed. What is the best control/tool to use for this? Can an example for read/write please be included? Thank you very much. Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205892

    - cant make vbscript/outlook work hi everyone. VERY annoying problem. i have a script that has to run every 5 minutes and check the contents of an exchange inbox. the script cannot run on the exchange server so as far as i know i MUST have outlook installed on the computer that runs the script. (if this isnt true PLEASE tell me how to do this without outlook) so we installed outlook and created a profile for the mailbox in question. the script works fine... but ONLY if we stay logged in. im assuming its because the logged in user sees only the outlook profiles that THEY created. so when no one is logged in, it doesnt work. can someone please explain how i can do this? i either have to do it without outlook, or with outlook in such a way that when no one is logged on the script can still access the profile. and no... i cant leave the server logged on and locked :( Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205891

    - vbscript and domain credentials Using vbscript, is there a way to ask for username and password, and then run the rest of the task based on those credentials? What I'm doing exactly is this: I've created a script to allow me to add domain users to the local admin group on a remote machine or lab of machines. Unfortunately, in order to run it and have it run properly on the remote machine, it must be run by someone who already has their domain account in the machine's local admin group. What I'd like to do is have it ask me for the machine's local admin acct and password, then, using those credentials, add the new domain accounts to the local admin group. Any ideas?

    - vbScript on VISTA Problems? Are there major problems with using vbScripts in my application installation on VISTA systems? I've searched the net and basically found that the the vbscript.dll is included with that operating system, but is not registered. It seemed from the various posts that simply registering the .dll solved the problem. Is there a reason this .dll is included and not registered or was this just an oversight by Microsoft? If an oversight, are there plans to remedy this by registering it in the future or including registration of it in a hotfix or service pack? If there are any other problems outside of this information, which may cause problems with including vbScripts in installations that may be run on VISTA, please let me know.

End Sub B if i run this on 1 file then its fine ... but when i tried it on 30+ files it slowed down and missed some lines in the text files and didn't even create some text files ... i'm lost as to what is going on ... my best guess is that i've created too many connections to database and files and they are not opening and closing in time for the next process therefore misses things out ... anybody have any idea how i can sort this issue out... thanks, Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205854

    - Use script to navigate web page? There is a web site I get information from. The site displays pages of items with individual checkboxes to select each item. There is also a checkbox to select all the item checkboxes. And there is the page numbers with Next and Previous. What I would like to do is log in to the site and navigate to the page I need, then automate (by script??) going through each page and selecting the Select All Checkboxes On This Page box. On the page, I can use Find to get to Next, tab once and hit Enter to go to the next page. And I can use Find to get Select All, Shift+Tab gets the checkbox before the words, and the spacebar selects the checkbox. I can do this for a couple of pages - more than 10 and I start wondering if I missed any! Plus I can't help but feel that a script or other automatino can do this much faster than I can! I do a bit of VBA macros in Word and Excel, and a few VB scripts (with much help!). I'm wondering if a script would help here, or if another way would be better - or if I should drop the idea of automating this all together. Ed Tag: Webtable parsing: nested A's in TD's Tag: 205817

Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\default") Set wmiSink = WScript.CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemSink", "SINK_") (2) You hook the connector to the Sink via an Asynchronous query: wmiServices.ExecNotificationQueryAsync wmiSink, _ "SELECT * FROM RegistryValueChangeEvent WHERE Hive= " _ & "'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' AND KeyPath= " _ & "'SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\ \RegisteredOwner' AND " _ & "ValueName='CSDVersion'" (3) You set up Event handlers: Sub SINK_OnObjectReady(wmiObject, wmiAsyncContext) Wscript.Echo "Received Registry Change Event" & vbCrLf & _ "------------------------------" & vbCrLf & _ wmiObject.GetObjectText_() End Sub What I can't understand exactly is the Do...Loop: Do While(1) WScript.Sleep 1000 Loop What is going on in the Loop other than sleeping for 1 second? Is the Subroutine SINK_OnObjectReady being called within the loop? If so, how? Any help with clarifying this would be greatly appreciated.
