    - vb scripting on win 2003? Hello! I am trying to run a vbscript that performs a reboot on a windows 2003 server. This script has worked well in windows 2000, but now it quits with complaints about rights. ================================= The script: Dim oShutdown, oOPSys Set oShutdown = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate,(RemoteShutdown)}\\192.1 68.25.254").Execquery("Select * From win32_operatingsystem") For Each oOPsys In oShutdown oOPsys.win32shutdown(2+4) Next ================================= Do i have to make some other system call to perform a reboot on a windows 2003 server? Thanks for listening... Br, Christian O. chot@home.se Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 143151

    - Data Access Question Dear All I have created a calendar asp page using vbScript that loads data from a SQL database. It highlights the date I have data. Everything works well, however I have one question about the data access procedure and one about erasing the array. I load the data for the current month into an array after opening a connection with the database and then close the connection. If the user then selects the next month, another connection is opened and the values loaded into an array. Like above the connection is closed. Is this the best way to approach it when I will have hundreds of users accessing the SQL Server database at the same time? Current Month >> Opens connection >> Fills Array >> Displays results >> Closes Connection. Next Month >> Opens connection >> Fills Array >> Displays results >> Closes Connection. If I create the connection to the database and fill the array with data in the Header of the HTML page and display the contents of the array in the Body of the page, where do I erase the array, or do I even need to? Thanks again and I appreciate your help. Alastair MacFarlane Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 143142

    - Form data validation methods Greetings. This post is related to my recent post, and may better explain what I am trying to do .... hopefully :- ) Question, what is the most efficient way to validate data in a form? For instance, I know I can do something like this: Function Form1_onSubmit() If Form1.txtuser1.Value = "" Then ' do something here End If If Form1.txtuser2.Value = "" Then ' do something here End If End Function However, what if I have several like fields, e.g. txtuser1, txtuser2, txtuser3, etc. ... in that case the above approach to data validation is not very efficient. Especially when I want to run several like fields against the same validation methods (i.e. is it blank, does it or does it not contain this or that character?). To further complicate matters, what if the amount of like fields I have on my page will vary on each load because they are created "dynamically" thru ASP code? In that case, there is no way to setup the above, functional albeit inefficient, method of validating my data. In a nutshell, what I am trying to accomplish on the client-side is what I can rather easily do on the server-side: For x = 1 To Request.Form.count() strFrmKey = Request.Form.key(x) strFrmItm = Request.Form.item(x) ' Do whatever other checking I would like here Next Is there, or what is an equivalent for client-side validation? Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. Doug Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 143125

    - Iterate thru all elements in form Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to iterate thru all elements in a form for the purpose of validating data on a form. What I would like to do is something like: Set objElements = document.Form1.Elements For Each objElement in objElements If objElement.type = "text" AND objElement.name = "txtUName" Then 'Do something here End If Next The above does not seem to work. In fact the only thing that I can get to work is this: Set objElements = document.Form1.Elements For Each objElement in objElements MsgBox objElement Next The above only responds with several messages containing "[object]" ... not very useful. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, Doug Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 143124

    - 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?

    - 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: delete group member ship Tag: 143009

    - exchange scripting I tried posting this message in the exchange2000.development group but got no answer, perhaps someone here can help me. I'm putting together a script to delete certain messages in our public folders, right now i have it working fine based on keywords in the message's subject using objMessage.subject property, what i want to know is what property can i use to see the received date on it and delete based on that? ex code: for each folder in objSubFolders if folder.name = "test folder" then Set tempfolder = objSession.GetFolder(folder.id, objInfoStore2.id) Set Allmessages = tempfolder.messages for each Messageval in allmessages if inStr(messageval.Subject,"keyword") then messageval.delete() end if next end if Next what i would like to have it do is something to the effect of (if one of you can help me with the proper syntax): if (inStr(messagval.Subject,"keyword")) OR (messageval.ReceivedDate < oneMonthAgo) messageval.delete() end if i'm not sure of the actual property or if there is another function of means to find the received date to test. any help would be appreciated thanks chris coho ccoho@jrwald.com Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 143008

    - How to select folders (only folders, not files) in ASP pages? Hi all, Could anybody give me a hand on select folders in ASP pages? The situation is that I want to specify a folder to save download files in my ASP page. I know how to browse a file. However, what I want is just browse to folder level, just like we select a dirctory for setup application. Thanks a lot. Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 143005

    - Running Script with Elevated Rights I have a VB script which detects the OS version, installs the latest RPC patch, and opens an IE window telling the user they have been updated and need to re-boot the system to "activate" the patch. I am pushing this task with SMS and all is fine. The problem is I have a significant number of users who are not SMS clients and do not have Admin Rights on the local machine. I am trying to get the script to run with elevated rights when manually invoked by the user and having no success (I want to email a link to the script which says "Click here to update your system"). Anyone have any words of wisdom on this task? I appreciate any and all comments (unless they are nasty). Thanks, Russ J Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 142999

    - 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. I didn't assign any specific permissions to the printer shares. They work for hundred of other accounts. When the users that the script fails on, try to add the network printer via the wizard this fails too. HELP Robert Tag: delete group member ship Tag: 142996

    - Change computername automatically Hi there, I am looking for a working script or small utility to change the Windows XP computername immediately after start-up, if required, before any user logs on. This script/utility should check if the current computername equals VSxxxxxxxxxxxx (where x = macaddress) and if not, change it accordingly without breaking domain membership or other security issues. The latter is the problem. I have found and tried several scripts, however there is always a domain/security problem. Is there a 100% transparent and functional way to achieve the above?

Hi,

The group object has a Remove method (and also an Add method). You would
bind to the group and invoke the Remove method to remove a user from the
group. You pass the AdsPath of the user to the method. I like to bind to the
user object so I'm sure I get the correct AdsPath. For example:

Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=TestUser,ou=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com")
Set objGroup = GetObject("LDAP://cn=TestGroup,ou=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com")
objGroup.Remove(objUser.AdsPath)

The Add method is the same.
