    - Configuring addresses for users Hello, I have 150 users under single ou=employees, I need to configure a script so that it would configure addresses for the users. Here is what I got so far: Const ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE = 2 Set objUser = GetObject _ ("LDAP://cn=whatever,ou=employees,dc=test,dc=org") objUser.Put "streetAddress", "999 test st" objUser.Put "l", "Boston" objUser.Put "st", "MA" objUser.Put "postalCode", "11111" objUser.Put "c", "US" objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE, _ "postOfficeBox", Array objUser.SetInfo But this only does for single user, I don't want to go to 150 users properties and update manually or retype the script user name everytime.

    - InStr function not working Help! I have a script here that will not work correctly according to the InStrRev function rules. When it runs, the file path comes out really weird. For example, the path: "C:\Documents and Settings\user1\My Mail\personal.pst" is coming back "gs\user1\my mail\personal.pst" instead of just displaying the file name "personal.pst" like it should. Can someone please take a look? If you need the rest of the code, let me know. Basically what I have is a list of file path names in lstPSTList and I'm trying to trunkate the whole path so I just get the file name. strKeys = lstPSTList.Keys For intPST = 0 To lstPSTList.Count - 1 strPSTFilePath = lstPSTList.Item(strKeys(intPST)) strPSTFile = Right(strPSTFilePath, InStrRev (strPSTFilePath, "\")) MsgBox strPSTFile Next Tag: How to convert cmd to vbs Tag: 143090

    - MSHTA - Logon Script I'm using a logon script on a Novell network. This logon script calls a batch file which, in turn, calls mshta with the parameter being the url to the asp.net intranet web site. This works great on all machines (after numerous fixes and tweaks to the hta). The only problems I have seen are, on Windows 2000 machines that have IE 6.0 with no other updates to IE (via Windows Update), the hta hangs. mshta.exe is still listed in the list of processes, but the hta never gets displayed. One of the August, 2003 updates from windows update fixes this problem, but we can't depend on the users to do this to fix it (as they don't want this application running anyways). None of the updates listed in August list anything about HTA's or (afaik) script bugs (other than cross domain exploits that have been fixed and aren't an issue here afaik). So, any other ideas?

    - manipulate binary structs/files Hi group, Is there a way to manipulate binary structs/files in JScript/VBscript. I have in mind some components that would have methods like var buf; // whatever bytearray variant or something more apporpriate f.open(filename); f.read(offset, buf, sizeof(buf)); b.scanf(buf, format= "%c[4]%d ....", v1, v2, ....); b.printf(buf, format= "%c[4]%d ....", v1, v2, ....); f.write(offset, buf, sizeof(buf)); Perl has pack()/unpack() functions that are very alike to the above ones.

    - ASP submitting a form to 2 places on the same page Ok, have a normal html form that sends a username and password to an asp page, the asp page then retrieves the username and password and puts it into cookies, The page then uses a javascript submittal to a progress database but this js is considered malicious code by some browsers and will not work for certain users. So I have to find a different way of gleaning the username and password before it is sent off to the other page (which I have no control over). I could always use a response.redirect but then the username and password would be in clear text and is unacceptable. IS there anyway to do a blind submittal on an asp page without user intervention??????? Tag: How to convert cmd to vbs Tag: 143039

    - Permission Denied when using OpenTextFile repeatedly, is it stepping on itself? I've got a script that does a lot of writing to a log file so I can track its progress. Here is the subroutine that I use: Sub LogMain(S) Dim F set F = fso.opentextfile(CurrentPath & "\log.txt", 8, true) F.writeline Now() & vbTab & S F.close set F = nothing End Sub So from within my script, I can just call: LogMain "test entry" The problem I'm seeing -- which never used to happen, but has been happening quite a bit over the past month or so -- is that the script will work fine for a while, but at some point it suddenly hits a "permission denied" error on the line that calls OpenTextFile. It will not happen at the same point in the script every time, so I'm having a hard time reproducing the error. I'm closing F and then setting it to Nothing before ending the sub, so I would not expect there to be a conflict the next time I open the file. If I change the routine to look like this, it will work flawlessly: Sub LogMain(S) Dim F set F = fso.opentextfile(CurrentPath & "\log.txt", 8, true) F.writeline Now() & vbTab & S F.close set F = nothing wscript.sleep 5 '<-- new line End Sub Is this just a case of the file not really being closed by the OS before I try to open it again? I'm only seeing this happen on one machine, so far. Tag: How to convert cmd to vbs Tag: 143009

    - Printer Help I use a VBScript for each user in their login script that maps a specific network printer in the room where they are logging in. This script uses the computer name to determine the specific printer. This script work with Windows 2000 pro, and XP Pro. Here is the problem; I have 4 users accounts that it will not work and I just cant figure out why. It appears to be a permissions issue when the login script runs and the script throws this error. Cscript Error: Loading your settings failed. (Access is denied.) I have deleted the 4 users and recreated them, still they fail. I know this script works, other users it works fine under both OS's My questions are what specific permissions are required to run a vbscript? Is the script failing because the u ser doesnt have the right permissions to run it? Or, is it failing to make the changes that the script is trying to change? ( ie; add the network printer) Here is a snippet of the script Option Explicit DIM RegEntry, ComputerName RegEntry="HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\ComputerName" ComputerName = ReadRegValue(RegEntry) if InStr(1,ucase(ComputerName),"xpfinal",vbTextCompare) > 0 then call SetPrinter("\\XXXX\test-1") if InStr(1,ucase(ComputerName),"ms-a3-",vbTextCompare) > 0 then call SetPrinter("\\XXXX\Test-2") if InStr(1,ucase(ComputerName),"ms-a4-",vbTextCompare) > 0 then call SetPrinter("\\XXXX\Test -3") 'so on and so forth. wscript.quit ' *** This subroutine installs and sets the default printer Sub SetPrinter(ByVal PrinterPath) DIM WshNetwork Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(PrinterPath) WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter Printerpath end sub ' **** This function returns the data in the registry value Function ReadRegValue(ByVal RegValue) DIM WSHShell Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ReadRegValue="" On Error Resume Next ReadRegValue= WSHShell.RegRead(RegValue) End Function I call this script from the logon.bat for each user; @echo off Cscript %LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\roaming.vbs net use g: \\XXXXX\XXXX The printer configurations are properly setup on the server and the shares are correctly named.

    - Script Question I have a situation where I need to deploy SP4 and MS03-026 & 039 to several workstations. In this particular environment, the company has not implemented AD. The only OU's present are those created by default during dcpromo. I've tried to convince them to implement AD but I may as well be talking to a wall. Also, I'm unable to use SMS, SUS (no good for SP4 and they won't consider it for hotfixes), or AD to deploy the service pack and hotfixes. Earlier today, I ran across KB 827227 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=827227 . I believe it would be possible to modify this script to deploy SP4 prior to the hotfixes however, I'm not 100% certain how it would be accomplished and I've never used VBScript. Does anyone know how to modify this script to deploy SP4 first then the hotfixes or know of any other method I could use to deploy SP4 and the hotfixes rapidly?

    - Getting the output of a stored procedure in a VBScript I am running a stored procedure that needs parameters through a VBScript and I need to know to get the output from that procedure to a variable in the script. Here is how am I calling the stored procedure: Dim cnn Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cnn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=myServer;Initial Catalog=myDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;" cnn.Execute "exec execute_job_with_return 'base' ,'00020' ,5 ,'ubi' ,'UC', 'loyalty' , 0, '000' , lty_rmmeltest ,'smart' ,'%DATA%\txn TEST.txt',' ' , 'Y' ,NULL" The stored procedure then returns an integer value (named "runid") which i need to use for further operations.
