 - Copy folder with permisions intact I need to migrate users home folders to a new server. About 60 GB in all. So they need to be copied or moved with permisions and hopefully any share permisions intact. Can this be done with objFolder.CopyHere? or objFolder.Copy? Or would it be easier/better to use xcopy or something? Thanks Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177870

 - List OU's in an OU using VBS Hi I am new to VBscript and would like to be able to query an OU for it's contents (which is more OU's) and then display the results in the text field on an inputbox. This is so that the user can enter the name of one of the OU's listed into the inputbox input field. Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance Keith Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177867

 - Writing xml.ResponseText to file Hello, I'm having some problems writing out xml.ResponseText to a text file. I can send it to a web browser using Response.Write, but I can not write it out to a text file. It's not a permissions issue, the file gets created without a problem and if you write a line of plain text to the file, it works perfectly. I tried casting xml.ResponseText to a string, but that did not work either. Is there anyway I can do this? <% Const ForWriting = 2 Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") xml.Open "GET", "http://xxxx", False xml.Send set tfile=FSO.CreateTextFile("c:/pathtofile.asp", true) 'response.write xml.ResponseText <--- Works 'tfile.WriteLine "Hello World" <---- Works tfile.WriteLine(test) tfile.close set fso = nothing %> Tag: change mouse to hourglass?

 - Using Replace with wildcard How can I use replace to replace a dynamic string that is sent over to my broswer using a wildcard? Here is a snip of my code, extract = Replace(extract, "href", "") for example here is what the browser sees, href="javascript:show('1','http://server/page.asp=FDR2dmwjDE%3Byt2q%26FDT7w% 7Cq612d4 but I want it to look like " " instead after the 'href' is a long string that is dynamically changed each time the page is viewed, how can I use Replace to remove anything following the 'href' but nothing below that line of code?

 - Compare text files for duplicates Hi. I have two text files that are actually exports of user and computers accounts from two domains. I would like to be able to compare the two files for duplicate names and spit out a "report" of the unique names and duplicate names. Of course, I can't do a line-by-line comparison because the files don't match up that way. It is more of a comparison of the entire contents of the files. Maybe logparser would do this? Thanks!

 - Running a script using VB6 ScriptControl First I apoligize for cross posting this also on the vb.controls newsgroup, I just wasn't quite sure which group would be better suited to handle my question... I'm running a script (set up as a string) internal in my VB6 program and feeding it into the MS ScriptControl. All works well except that I need the script to "sleep" for a few seconds. If I wrote the script as a standard .vbs script file outside of VB I would add a line like this - WScript.Sleep(3000) - With the WScript object being the intrinsic built in object of the scripting engine. However, adding that line to my script string in the VB6 program throws rt error 424 "Object Required: WScript". So it seems the intrinsic object WScript is not recognized when you run a script using the VB ScriptControl. Anybody know how to get around this problem so that the WScript object can be used, or at least how to make the script "Sleep" TIA Ron Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177815

 - Error Handling Good morning, I have the following script (feel free to improve/comments so I can learn). My problem is that it uses a text file to give it a series of computername to run the script against. The issue is that when a computer is turned off, the script returns an error.

 - What does this permission indicate... I run a vbs script on several machines. All has worked except for one machine. The script essentially performs a backup via WinZip and places the result in a shared folder. When I then try to copy the script from the master station, this one workstation gives me an 'access denied' message. I am running as administrator on all machines. By the way, I'm running XP Home /SP2 with Norton AV , and I run SptBot-Search & Destroy. No indicated problems. I looked at the permissions on the shared folder and I noticed something on this workstation that I have never seen on the other workstations on our private lan: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE:(special access:) DELETE SYNCHRONIZE FILE_READ_DATA If I remove file sharing on this folder and then re-apply file sharing, this entry disappears (and my network copy works fine). Furthermore, if I go into safe-mode and look at the permissions, it says that this item is an 'unknown user'. What is Win XP trying to tell me? I have never seen this type of permission before.

 - getting script to paste text into Word AND to trigger AutoOpen macro I have an .htm file, which is run from a button I installed on the Internet Explorer shortcut menu, which contains Windows script that does the following: 1. copies the selected text on the current web page and assigns the url of the web page to a variable; 2. opens a special Word document created for this purpose; 3. pastes the selection and inserts the url into the Word document. However, I also have an AutoOpen macro in the Word document which is intended to perform further steps on the pasted material. The problem is that the actions initiated by the script, such as the pasting of the text, seem to prevent the AutoOpen macro from running. Here's my question: Is it possible both to have the script open the Word document and paste stuff into it, AND to have an AutoOpen macro proceed to do further actions on the pasted text? If not, is there some other way that the script could automatically run a macro in the Word document? Thanks, Larry Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177781

 - WshController error Hello all, I've been doing some research on WshController, and I read recently that one hang up that WshController has is that it can't be used with UI. I'm trying to execute a vbscript that uses WshController from a jsp page. According to an article I read it says: "the script passed to the WshController object's CreateScript method doesn't interact with the UI. In other words, you need to avoid using WScript.Echo, STDIO, WshShell::Popup, MsgBox, InputBox, and other UI functions in the script that the target remote computer will run." Is this true? Has anyone been able to interact with WshController from a jsp? Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177776

 - How to get usable screen size (maybe WMI?) Hi all, I am trying to determine the usable screen size of desktop computers. I found WMI classes that would return the desktop resolution BUT I need: [screen height] - [taskbar height] = [usable screen size] Is there a way to determine if the auto-hide is enabled? Can I determine the height of the taskbar? I use the "Win32_DesktopMonitor" WMI class at the moment but this only returns the set screen resolution. Any idea on how to do this via WMI or maybe read values out of the registry. I looked into some TechNet articles but I didn't find anything helpful yet. Regards, Hadi Tag: change mouse to hourglass?

 - Newbie - How to fill forms without a button click Hi, 1. Automatically filling in a form from a database. When the user logs in, it should take the user to something like the Registration page and automatically fill in the fields from a database. I know to do document.Register.FirstName.value = "Hello World" but I need to fill in the fields before a button is pressed. I am not sure how I can fill in the fields before a button is pressed? Perhaps somehow getting a message from the login.asp page that clicks the button? P.S. I just started monkeying around with ASP pages. I am not sure what the difference is between VBScript, JavaScript, C#, XML. I noticed in a tutorial that VBScript is not supported in all browsers. Does that go for JavaScript? Is C# supposed to be better than Java or VB? Thanks, -- Christopher J.

 - How to get long filename from short filename? This demonstration script is not yet successful. I would like to get the long name from the short name of a file (in this case, given as a command-line argument). I was hoping that either the name or the path property of the file object would do it, but no joy. The name property = the same short name given. The path property (default) also just gives the short name after the subdirectory. There is no "longname" property. So how is it done? ---------------------------------------------- dim oArgs, oFi, oFS set oArgs = Wscript.Arguments if oArgs.count=0 then wscript.echo "No argument given" wscript.quit end if set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set oFi = oFS.GetFile(oArgs.item(0)) wscript.echo oFi.name wscript.echo oFi Tag: change mouse to hourglass?

 - Writing a text file from within a script only if a candition is th I've write a VB script that retrive all error events from Event Logs on the local machine (by Win32_NTLogEvent) and write it to an output text file. The script is scheduled to run every day at a specified time and retrive only events occurred in the previous 24 hours. Actually it open and write the output text file always, even if no error events logs occurred (in this case the output text file is, obviously, empty). The question is: is there a way to open and write the output text file only if it is no empty (if an error occurred) and in wich mode? In this way, in fact, every day I'll check the local machine and only if there was errors in the event logs in the previous day I'll find the output text file without the needs to check and read an empty output text file. Thanks in advance. Cosimo MERCURO Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177722

 - Query IP Addresses from DHCP I have an SBS03 Server and I would like to be able to look up the IP address from an Computer Name. The application is a script to turn on a group of computers every morning. These are workstations in the exam rooms of a doctor's office. The staff is always forgetting to turn all of them on in the morning and the doctor then has to wait for the computer to boot while the patient is sitting there. It would also fit well for turning them on early and letting them load their updates before business hours. My concern is if their lease runs out and DHCP issues them a new IP, then the WOL magic packet will end up at the wrong computer. Thanks, Bernie Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177717

 - How to change current directory? I have an application I need to run, however, it needs to execute in a specific directory. This directory it needs to run in is different to the one that my .vbs script is running in. How can I change the current directory so that the program executes from within that directory. eg. I have C:\script.vbs which must run C:\foo\bar.exe. Modifying bar.exe is beyond my control, and it must run in C:\foo. The down side is that script.vbs must run from c:\ I have tried using the .Run method on the Shell object to run DOS commands, but I keep getting the error: C:\script.vbs(283, 10) (null): The system cannot find the file specified. This would be where line 283 is something like: oShell.run "dir" Thanks. Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177707

 - cannot execute my vbscript in a batch file called from a jsp Hello all, I'm trying to execute my vbscript through a batch file. I can run it if by double clicking, but I want to attach the execution of the button to a button click on a jsp page. I have the code setup for that, but it looks like when I click the button in the jsp page, my vbscript errors out. my code is pasted below: strEssbaseServer = "someserver" strStartupScript = "test.vbs" filLog.WriteLine "Setting vars worked" Set objWshController = WScript.CreateObject("WshController") filLog.WriteLine "setting objWshController worked" Set objRemoteScript = objWshController.CreateScript(strStartupScript, strEssbaseServer) filLog.WriteLine "Setting objRemoteScript worked" Wscript.ConnectObject objRemoteScript, "Remote_" filLog.WriteLine "Setting wscript.connectobject worked" If Err.Number <> 0 Then filLog.WriteLine "Error creating remote script." Err.Clear End If objRemoteScript.Execute It looks like it's erroring out at this line: Set objRemoteScript = objWshController.CreateScript(strStartupScript, strEssbaseServer) Any thoughts? Do I have to follow a different syntax since I'm executing this from a bat file which is called by a jsp page? Thanks in advance. Ian Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177706

 - Reading From and Writing To text files Greetings, I posted earlier on my project which is to create vbscript to take a text file that has spaces between columns of data and convert it so that the field are separate by semi-colons instead of a block of spaces. I have figured out most of the code I'm going to need for this project, but there is one area where I'm still hanging. I need to know how to: select a text file by name Open it Read characters from it into a variable or array after processing I need to: Write the converted to anothe text file Name that file (save it) and close it I've read up on this at a couple of sites, but I'm still confused. Does anyone know of a good tutorial on this or could someone post this information. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tammy Tag: change mouse to hourglass? Tag: 177695

hi eme,

If the host is IE:

style="cursor:wait"

If the host is wsh, you can do it, but you will need to call
an api.

cheers, jw
