    - Access Denied while installing Printers in Windows Server 2003 Hi, I have been banging my head against the wall all day trying to figure this out. We are migrating our Print Server from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003. I found some cool scripts that run on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 that I thought would make my life easier. Silly me! I developed my script on XP and everything seems to work. I create over 300 printers in a few minutes. I went over to my 2003 Server and it won't run. I get an Access Denied message. The Error Code is 80041003. The Source is SWbemObjectEx. First off, I am using the local Administrator account on the server. Second, I thought it was some sort of policy setting that our Domain was applying. So I rebuilt the server and did not join it to a domain. It has all default security settings applied. This code is a sample to create an IP Printer Port. I got it from microsofts site. It does not work on Server 2003. Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:") Set objNewPort = objWMIService.Get _ ("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").SpawnInstance_ objNewPort.Name = "IP_169.254.110.14" objNewPort.Protocol = 1 objNewPort.HostAddress = "169.254.110.14" objNewPort.PortNumber = "9999" objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False objNewPort.Put_ The line the program aborts on is the last line. objNewPort.Put_ According to Microsofts website this should work on Server 2003. But I can't figure it out. I am hoping I am just missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160669

    - Have user run a script with admin credentials Hi Guys, I have a remote site that we need to change some Network settings for. I do not want to have to send someone out there. I can copy the script to the remote computer, but my script will need to run with admin privileges. I do not wish to give the end (l)users the local admin password. · I know I can specify a username and password for the Task Scheduler, GUI only, the AT command does not seem to support this · I found a news group article where Torgeir Bakken says, WMI does not support connecting to the same computer you are running the script from with another user credentials. I?d simply do this remotely but I am setting a static IP on these PCs among other network settings Can someone throw me a link or something?

    - Run method, 16-bit application, sound I have written a wrapper in VBScript that maps a drive, runs a 16-bit application from that drive using the Run method, and then unmaps the drive. My problem is that when the script runs the application, there is no sound. The commentary is a vital part of the application, and is audible when the application is run "straight". So why can't I hear anything when I run it from VBScript? Andrew Good Barefoot Boy Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160627

    - Trying to backup Security Event Logs I have this script that is running on a couple of servers on a daily basis. It's supposed to check and see if the security event log is greater than 20MB and if so, back it up and clear the log if the backup was successful. Otherwise do nothing. It works fine on one of the computers, however on the other it only "kind of" works. On the computer I'm having trouble with I will see a .evt file that was backed up (and is over 20 megs), then after that there are several more .evt files that are created on a daily basis which are 1KB in size. If I open these in event viewer nothing shows up (although it will say there are a couple hundred thousand events). Then after a few days of creating these 1KB files there will be a successfully backed up .evt file which is about 50 megs by this time. I suspect the problem has something to do with the log not being "locked" properly or what ever needs to be done. The server that is having this problem can get dozens of events per second at times (mostly b/c it's the domain controller and it's logging all the login/logout stuff). At anyrate, here is the portion of my script that does the work. Any ideas on how to make it backup correctly every time? Oh, and a small side note. I have an If to test the size to see if it's big enough. I tried making a constant variable for the comparison but that never worked, for some reason I had to type the literal value into the if expression. I'd also appreciate any insight on why that is. -mike -------------------- Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Backup,Security)}!\\" & Computer & "\root\cimv2") Set colLogFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_NTEventLogFile WHERE LogFileName='Security'") For Each objLogfile in colLogFiles If (objLogFile.FileSize > 20000000) Then errBackupLog = objLogFile.BackupEventLog(SavePath & Computer & "\" & Computer & "Security" & Today(1) & Today(0) & Today(2) & ".evt") If errBackupLog <> 0 Then if (DEBUG) then Wscript.Echo "The Security event log could not be backed up." end if Else if (DEBUG) then wscript.echo "Clearing Log" end if objLogFile.ClearEventLog() End If else if (DEBUG) then wscript.echo "Filesize not big enough: " & objLogFile.FileSize end if End If ' if filesize Next ' for each objLogfile Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160573

    - HTMLEncode gives incorrect unicode Hi I have a strange problem From exchange server I get the data to ASP page using the webdav technlogy. There are mail which contains Western Europian characters. These western Europian characters returned properly to ASP pages. In one server(IIS) when I do Server.HTMLEncode of that europian characters it gives me the wrong unicode and also it displays some junk charecters , but the same code on the other server gives me proper unicode and displays the characters properly. I have found a work around for that using ADODB.Stream and reading the charecters by setting charset property to "utf-8". After that it works properly. But its a problem in only one server(IIS), the other one gives properly. Is there any setting needs to be done at IIS. Any answer on this will be highly appreciated Thanks Afzal Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160535

    - Selecting a value in a list box. Strange IF THEN problem. Hi, I have a simple list box on an a ASP page which is populated by a recordset named rsThemes. Depending on from where the user browses into the page the Selected value is either taken from a field in a recordset named rsChosenEvent (Method A) or from passed value in the URL named txtTheme (Method B). Method A works perfectly, but for some reason that I just cant find Method B will not work. If I simply response.write("txtTheme") I get the correct value but if I try to use that value in an IF statement it just wont work. Can anyone see why? I'm absolutely baffled. Thanks, Luke. <select name="txtTheme"> <option>Select Theme</option> <% While (NOT RsThemes.EOF)%> <option <% ' Method A %><% If Not rsChosenEvent.EOF Or Not rsChosenEvent.BOF Then %><% If (RsThemes.Fields.Item("ThemeID").Value) = (RsChosenEvent.Fields.Item("Theme").Value) Then Response.write("SELECTED ") %><% End IF %><% ' Method B %><% If (RsThemes.Fields.Item("ThemeID").Value) = (Request("txtTheme")) Then Response.write("SELECTED ") %> value="<%=(RsThemes.Fields.Item("ThemeID").Value)%>"><%=(RsThemes.Fields.Item("ThemeName").Value)%></option> <% RsThemes.MoveNext() Wend If (RsThemes.CursorType > 0) Then RsThemes.MoveFirst Else RsThemes.Requery End If %> Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160533

    - Determining if ActiveX is enabled Is there a property in the DOM or the Request object that indicates whether or not the user's browser has been set to enable, disable, or notify if an ActiveX component is required on the viewed page. I'm using DHTML and I want to use one of two different style sheets based on this setting. Thanks in advance. Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160529

    - GetObject("WinNT://Machinename") Hi, I run the code GetObject("WinNT://Machinename") on a windows 2000 pro workstation and it works fine. However, when i run it on a windows NT 4.0 Server it doesn't recognise it. Is there another (or equivalent) way of doing the same thing. I plan to list all of the Server's groups. Thanks, Jesse Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160528

    - WinHttpRequest question of POST.....asyncronous mode... I find that there are a few samples on the asyncronous mode. I have problem in code when is in asyncronous mode. I'm not so sure what should be put in my Function ManageStateChange(). In fact I have a similar code in VB and actually I'm doing some sort of conversion from VB to VB script. My code is as follows (VB script). Set objWinHttp = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5") objWinHttp.Open "POST", "http://localhost/bankislam/Trx.asp", true objWinHttp.onreadystatechange = ManageStateChange objWinHttp.Send objReceive.xml if Err.Number = 0 Then Response.Write( "Status: " & objWinHttp.Status & " " & objWinHttp.StatusText) strHTML = objWinHttp.ResponseText else Response.Write Err.Description end if Set objWinHttp = Nothing Function ManageStateChange() select case (objWinHttp.readyState) case 2, 3: ===> put what code??? case 4: ==>> put what code, which should have same meaning in my VB code exit function end select End Function My code in VB. objXH.Open "POST", m_URL, True objXH.send ObjDoc.XML objTimer.Interval = 60 objTimer.Enabled = True ===>> do we need to put timer in VB script? nTimeCount = 0 While nTimeCount < 60 If objXH.readyState = 4 Then ==>>>> How to do this in Vbscript? GoTo exitloop End If DoEvents ===>>> and this??? Wend objTimer.Enabled = False If nTimeCount = 60 Then MsgBox TIME_OUT '("Time out") End If I'm not sure how to handle the asyncronous mode in VB script, as we do not have timer and Events, am I right? Can someone pls edvise me.....thanks. Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160525

    - Inventory I have an access database that has our inventory. There is one table that has the computer name and the memory column. I've also created a script in the past to read the computer name from a file, get inventory from it (like hd size and total memory) and write it to a file. Well, what I would like to do now, is use the access database in a similar fashion. Instead of reading from a file, I would like to read from the computer name column and update the memory column. The part I'm having trouble with is getting the computer name from the DB. I don't have a clue how to do it. Thanks in advance, RK. Tag: What shoudl I use, VB or batch or other Tag: 160523

I have seen some instances of what I am trying to do, but still can't find exactly what I need, and I am new to vbs.
I would like to create user shares, and point users to these shares, say via GP or login script. I have 2 files, one for the share, and one for the actual location. When I run the batch it gives me an error, so I figured I would try vbs. The file is just a text file, and i have tried to pump it into the batch with variables, but to no avail. ANY help, push, prod in a direction, would be great.

Do it without reading the external file until you have the rest
working as you wish. Also, run through the various scripts here:
