    - A REG QUERY that does not return "ERROR" when key not found My loginscript checks for presence of keys under HKCU. E.g. reg query HKCU\Software\MyCompany /v loginscriptversion | find /C "1.0" > nul However reg query still returns ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. So what do I do? I wonder if there is a vbscript that can behave like reg query? e.g. cscript RegQuery.vbs HKCU\Software\MyCompany /v loginscriptversion | find /C "1.0" > nul EXCEPT not displaying ERROR ? Any help would greatly be appreciated. -- -- HAL07, Engineering Services, Norway Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217716

    - ADSI scripting question I have a script that will pull the list of groups that have access to a folder that is specified in a message box. I also have each group outputting to a seperate worksheet in an Excel spreadsheet. The list of users in these groups are outputting in this form (CN=smith\,joe L,OU=Users,OU=Default,DC=test, DC=com). I want to just output Joe Smith, jsmith. When I change arrUsers = ObjRecordset.Fileds("member").Vaule to DistinguishedName or DisplayName or anything else I get nothing in these fields. I think it has to do with querying the "group" instead of the user category but am not sure if I am right or how to add a second query based on the results of the groups I pulled in the previous query. Can anyone advise on how this can be done? Script is copied below. Thank you.

    - Problem Passing Parameter to Web Method with VBScript I am using VBScript to access a remote database server via a web service. I am trying to call a web method that hits a database and runs the query I pass in as a parameter and returns the results. However, I am being returned an error that says the CommandText property has not been initialized. I researched the error, and I discovered that my sqlQuery parameter is not reaching the web service, so the service is trying to execute a blank command, which throws the error. I thought I was properly forming my SOAP command to pass the parameter, but maybe I am not. Here is the VBScript code to form the SOAP command and send it: Dim strSoapAction Dim strUrl Dim strXml Dim strParam Dim xmlDOC Set xmlDOC = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0") strParam = "SELECT KeyField, DataField FROM TestTable WHERE StatusField = 'Bad'" strUrl = "http://localhost/MOM_POC_DummyService/DataService.asmx" strSoapAction = "http://tempuri.org/GetDBData" strXml = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>" & _ "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">" & _ "<soap:Body>" & _ "<CheckActCode xmlns=""http://tempuri.org/"">" & _ "<actCode>" & strParam & "</actCode>" & _ "</CheckActCode>" & _ "</soap:Body>" & _ "</soap:Envelope>" xmlDOC.loadXML(PostWebservice(strUrl, strSoapAction, strXml)) And here is the PostWebService function: Function PostWebservice(AsmxUrl, SoapActionUrl, XmlBody) Dim objDom Dim objXmlHttp ' Create objects to DOMDocument and XMLHTTP Set objDom = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") Set objXmlHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") ' Load XML objDom.async = False objDom.loadXML XmlBody ' Open the webservice objXmlHttp.open "POST", AsmxUrl, False ' Create headings objXmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8" objXmlHttp.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", SoapActionUrl ' Send XML command objXmlHttp.send objDom.xml PostWebservice = objXmlHttp.responseXml.xml End Function This code works and returns data when I call web methods that do not require passed parameters, but this web method requires a single parameter (string sqlQuery). Any help would be greatly appreciated as to what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217698

    - Win32_PingStatus on Vista (works on XP) I've nearly completed an HTA that uses the Win32_PingStatus to verify if a computer is up and running. If so it uses additional WMI to gather the computer name, logged on user and domain. Once that's is done it offers 4 options - Computer Management, Remote Assistance, Remote Desktop and connecting to c$. Very nice and almost done if it weren't for Vista. The code below (with the On Error disabled) errors at "For" with "Could not completed the operation due to error 80041001" but only when a number is enter that is smaller than 1677216 (which equates to 0.255.255.255. If the number enter is 1677216 (which equates to 1.0.0.0) then it will work properly. The problem is that it will work properly with both computer names and IP addresses and it is possible to name a computer, 45. I've tried checking the valued entered for a "." to make sure it's not an IP address and then using CStr so Vista won't treat it as number. This still doesn't work! Any ideas how to circumvent this problem?

    - Domain connection detection I would like to get a consensus from the group on the best / preferred method for detecting a connection to the domain for which a computer is a member of. I am going to write a script that runs at startup for laptop users that will check for a connection to the domain and exit if present. If not present, it will sit in an endless loop watching for a connection and then perform some tasks (map drives, check password expiration, etc) upon connection. I am considering pinging a known server. I am also considering using 'Scripting.FileSystemObject's' 'FolderExists' method to check for the DFS root. Which of these two methods would be the preferred method and are there other, better methods? Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217621

    - Are vbscript classes fast? Hi there, Just found these forums and my first post, so hi all I'm doing some work with vbscript just now and had a quick question I hope somebody could help with... Say I have a few functions for accessing a database e.g. openDBConn, closeDBConn, openRs, closeRs, getRsAsArray, executeSql, getDbConnString etc I could put these functions in to an include file "incDbHelper.asp" and include the file in any page that needs database functionality... or I could create a class "clsDbhelper.asp" which again I would include in any page that needs it. Now once the files have been included, to access the functions I could do: executeSQL("select * form table") or (if my db class is called Database) set db = new Database db.executeSQL("select * form table") So my question is what is the best method? Using a class seems like extra overhead for nothing? I've had a search around google but couldn't find anything on performance issues when using classes. Does anybody have an experience they could help me out with? Thanks in advance for any help Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217600

    - Formatting Flash Drives via VBScript Is it possible to format a Flash drive via VBScript. My ultimate goal is to format several flash drives at the same time or syncronously through script. I do backups from several computers via USB Flash Drives on a 4 port hub.. After the backups are done, I would like to format these drives by VBScript and not through windows formatting program as it takes too long to select the drive and format for several drives.

    - Problem with moving a file Hello, Using this script derived from a scriptcenter example, I'm trying to move a file: Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Temp" , "C:\Logs" The above works but when I change the destination to a different drive: Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.MoveFolder "C:\Temp" , "D:\Logs" the script fails. I can move a folder from some source on C:\ to some other location on C:\. But if the same operation tries to move from C:\ -> D:\ then it fails with: Line 2 Char 1 Permission denied 800A0046 What is really confusing to me is I'm running the script as a member of domain administrators and that account has write access to D:\. How can I get this script to move folders across drives? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217558

    - Query for string INSIDE Windows Event Log Gentlemen, New to the list so please be gentle. Need to achieve the following and have been banging my head against the wall: - In the process of deploying a full-disk encryption product that requires checkdisk to run prior to installation. If any bad sectors are found, I need to run check disk again and try to fix them. Unfortunately, check disk has no logging mechanism other then Event Viewer: upon completion Event ID 1001 with source of Winlogon is logged in Application log. Inside, it will have a string that looks like this: 0 KB in bad sectors This is the string I need to search for INSIDE the Event ID 1001 and if it's not 0 KB, I need to stop installation and run another check disk on reboot. I have figured out a way how to do all of the above with the exception of searcing INSIDE events in Event Viewer. If anyone has an idea or a pointer, I'd be forever greatful. Thanks in advance!

    - Best way to read registry of remote computer silently Hi, We have a screen recording application in use which upon installation puts an entry into the registry called clientid which basically contains the PC name. It then records the screen, and supervisors can later on view the recordings (Held centrally on the server) by computer name. However we have run into the situation where some PC's have been ghosted, so the clientid has been duplicated, and also the situation where some PC's do not seem to even have the client on at all. I am looking to write a vbscript to basically sort this out. I have a list of the machines to go through but am unsure how I should do this. These PC's are in use 24/7 so anything I do must be done silently... I attempted to write a vbscript to use the regread functionality, however this throws an error if the key is not present (Which is the case if the client is not installed)? Also I am not entirely sure what is the best method of actually getting the script to run, I was considering using psexec, but I believe this does not transmit credentials securely, so was wondering if I could do the following in vbscript. Loop to read the text file until eof assign the current line to strComputer connect to strComputer read registry to find key value if value exists append value onto anonymous writable document on network share else if value does not exist append NULL and strComputer onto document How exactly could I go about this?

I am writing every event to a text file as it is being read from the Security event viewer.

    - Printer logon script doesn't work with Vista Domain/AD environment where dcs are Win2k3 and print server is Win 2000 Server. The following logon script is used to map HP Laserjet 4200/4250 printers: Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection \\printserver\printername This works fine on all our XP clients but not on our Vista clients, even though the printers have been configured with vista drivers on the print server. When logging on to a Vista client, the printers are not installed and the following message is displayed: "To use the shared printer \\printserver\printername, you need to install the printer driver on your computer. If you do not recognize or trust the name and location of the printer, do not install the driver." The user then has the option to Install the driver, but it requires administrative access to do so (our users are not admins). Any suggestions? Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217513

    - How to extend Timeout for WScripts? I've downloaded MS WMI Code Creator 1.0 and used it on a few occasions with considerable pleasure. One problem I cannot seem to solve is to extend the timeot for script runs. After about 30 seconds or so the script runs are terminated with an error message for some more complicated scripts. The word complicated means not the number of statements but apparently the functions they try to execute like accessing kernel, etc. How can I set this parameter to a longer value? I think I saw somehwere a statement for timeout that can be inserted directly into the scripts but now cannot recall. Also manually inserting this statement in every script that is generated may not be a good idea. I run Vista Ultimate 32 bits. Thanks -- AlexB Tag: adding a line to .ini file Tag: 217504

If you simply want to append to the bottom, you could use something like
this:

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

With oFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\MyINI.ini", 8)
.WriteLine "NewSetting=NewValue"
End With
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
