    - Trying to get a file system script working I've been learning a bit of scripting and picked a task deleting a file. So I read a bit and search the net a bit. I came up with an example: www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/nov04/hey1102.mspx which shows Const TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = &H20& Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES) Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self strPath = objFolderItem.Path & "\*.*" Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.DeleteFile(strPath) I wanted to modify this a bit so I change the strPath line strPath = objFolderItem.Path & "\triggerParams.js" but this fails with an 800A0035 error. I have checked that the file is in the folder, changing the script to just enumerate the filenames in the folder finds it: For each file in objFolder.Items MsgBox "Found: " & file.name next Can anyone see something I've made a mistake doing?

    - Confessions of a "Top-Poster" (ugh!)... It has come to my attention that there are participants here who condemn the practice of "top-posting" (i.e., placing the response ahead of the question), as in: A: No Q: Should I include quotations after my reply? I must confess that I do this all the time, under the rationalization that somebody reading down the thread has already read the question, and shouldn't need to re-read it in order to get to my answer. Further, I will frequently cut off or seriously abbreviate the question, to just the specific issue I hope to address. O.K. so this is offensive. But, I ain't going to quit. Here's an easy remedy. If you don't like my habit of "top-posting" then just filter out my postings, and all my annoying violations of netiquette will just disappear. cheers, jw Tag: device is in use Tag: 170223

    - Looping Group Creation Script Help... Hi Firstly, I'm a newbie to vb scripting, and so I find that at the moment, I scrape along using bits of code extracted from various sources (mostly books or Microsoft), until I earn the fundamentals. Basically, I'm trying to say please don't shoot me down if my script contains glaring (to the professional eye) coding errors. At the moment, I'm trying to create a script that creates Active Directory global groups, based on information supplied from a text file (the script loops until it reaches the end of the file). The script assignes two parts to the name, which is the 'cn=' value, and the 'sAMAccountName' value. The 'cn=' part works fine, but the script falls at the 'sAMAccountName' value. The script looks like this: ########################################## Const ForReading = 1 Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _ ("C:\Shared\Scripts\Groups\Groups.txt", ForReading) Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE") strRoot = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext") Set adsContainer=GetObject("LDAP://" & strRoot) i = 0 Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream strNextLine = objTextFile.Readline objDictionary.Add i, strNextLine i = i + 1 Loop msgbox(strNextLine) For Each objItem in objDictionary adsGrp = objDictionary.Item(objItem) Set adsGroup = adsContainer.Create("group", "cn=" & adsGrp) adsGroup.Put "sAMAccountName", adsGrp adsGroup.SetInfo Next WScript.Echo "Group creation is complete" WScript.Quit ######################################################## I've tried putting a MsgBox in just before the 'sAMAccountName' line, to see what the value of the 'adsGrp' variable is, but it returns as empty, then fails. I've used a similar script to create Organizational Units, and it works fine, but that one doesn't assign two values.

    - replacing ASCII text newbie question here: I need to create a function that will take in a string and replace any ASCII characters greater than ASCII code 127 with their HTML equivalent. E.g. something like: Replace(sInput, Chr(233), "é") but to account for every other character than might get in there. Would it be more cost-effective (processing-time wise) to just write lots of replace functions one after the other, or should I loop through the string and replace and characters as I encounter them. How would I do this? Thanks! -- "I hear ma train a comin' ... hear freedom comin" Tag: device is in use Tag: 170201

    - CreateObject suucceed but using members fails I have one COM server that implements one method/property that returns int . The CreateObject does create the instance of com server. The problem is that I get error when trying to access its method/property with the annoying behaviour that in some computer it works and in others it doesn't Dim app Dim result Set app = CreateObject("MyApp.MyApplication") result = app.Result When trying with VB6.0 to check with more detais. I did: Dim app as Object .... and I got the same error, but if I do Dim app as MyApplication it works. Looks like the "casting" from generic Object type to use defined type is not working on those computers where I get the error. Does anyone had similar problems before, or what is the cause of it?

    - how to check file access Hi all, I'm hoping that one of you can help me with the following issue. I would like to copy some files from one location to another. This is not so difficult to do with vb scripting, but in my case it's possible that the person that is executing the script has no access to some of the files. Now I can solve this with on error resume next, but then I don't have controle over the situation. I would like to check if the user is able to read the file before copying it. That way I don't have to create all the subfolders at the destionation folder if it's empty. I also can open every file that I'm copying and see if this raises an error, but that seems a lillte to much overhead if you ask me. I'm sure that there is an easier way, but I have not found it yet.... Any help is surly appriciated.... Thanks in advance... Greetings Sander Tag: device is in use Tag: 170165

    - removing the "password never expires" setting from AD accounts Hello, I have a script which goes through local accounts (on member servers and professional workstations) and ensures the password never expires option in NOT set. Now I'm trying to convert this script to work on domain controllers with active directory accounts. Basically the script enumerates all the accounts in Active Directory and then attempts to unset any password never expires options. Where I'm having problems is the conversion between the WINNT and LDAP providers. Line 8 (which is commented out) in the script below is from the working, local accounts, version of the script. Line 9 is my attempt to translate line 8 for use with Active Directory accounts. Lines 13-18 are directly from the other script too. Line 9 is broken; any help anyone can provide with regard to the proper syntax is greatly appreciated. 1. Const ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = &H10000 2. Dim usrFlagsValue 3. 4. set objContainer = GetObject("LDAP://cn=Users,dc=mydomain,dc=local") objContainer.Filter = Array("User") 5. 6. For Each objLocalUser In objContainer 7. strUser = objLocalUser.sAMAccountName 8. ' Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/" & strUser & ",user") 9. Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=" & strUser & ",dc=mydomain,dc=local") 10. 11. usrFlagsValue = objUser.Get("UserFlags") 12. 13. ' Check to see if the bit for password never expire is set; 14. ' The Xor operator toggles any "on"s to "off"s 15.

    - Loop through dictionary object I am writing a script that reads and test file, and then creates a dictionary based on set criteria. Each key that is added to the dictionary is appended with a number. This bit works OK. What I then need to do is output the data held in the dictionary, based on the first letter of the dictionary key. I need to do some sort of loop through the dictionary, that will look for all intances starting with "1", then all starting with "2", until it reaches the end of the dictionary. This piece of script will echo each key starting with "1", but I then need it to loop and show "2" etc etc. I have tried adding a Loop function, with an incremental counter i.e. n=0, n=n+1, but it's not quite doing what I need. Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") objDictionary.Add "1_file.txt", "1" objDictionary.Add "2_file.txt", "2" objDictionary.Add "3_file.txt", "3" colKeys = objDictionary.Keys For Each strKey in colKeys if Left (strKey,1) = n then Wscript.Echo mid(strkey,InStr(strKey,"_")+1) Next colItems = objDictionary.Items For Each strItem in colItems if Left (strItem,1) = "1" then Wscript.Echo strItem Next Tag: device is in use Tag: 170132

    - Questions Regarding Windows Scripting Note: I am cross-posting this to microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript. I apologize in advance if only part of the message is relevant to that group. Hi, I have a few questions regarding use of the Microsoft Windows Scripting engine in a Visual Basic (classic) application. I am writing an application in VB6 Pro. that will be widely distributed (Windows 98 and up). Some parts of the application make use of the Microsoft Script Control (msscript.ocx). I understand that it is possible for end-users to disable the "Windows Scripting Host" and that it is a somewhat common thing to do due to security issues. This brings up a few questions: 1) Is this the only way possible to disable scripting on the system? If not, what else should I look out for? 2) If scripting is disabled, will the code executed by the Microsoft Script Control fail to run? Or is the Script Control independent of that system setting? 3) Is there any way to programmatically find out if scripting has been disabled? I realize that I could find out some of these answers myself if I had access to a test system where scripting was disabled. What steps can I follow in order to disable scripting on my test machine? Finally, is the Microsoft Script Control dependent on any other files? I scanned the file with Dependency Walker and could not find anything. Also, I found the following post by Randy Birch on June 8 of last year, that states: "It can be redistributed, as stated in MSKB article Q190978 (talking about a missing dependency error when using the package & deployment wizard to include msscript.ocx. Specifically, it states "RESOLUTION: In the case of a control such as MSSCRIPT.OCX, which does not need any additional files to be distributed with it, the message regarding "Missing Dependency Information" may be safely ignored." But, I would like to make sure that this is really the case. Thanks in advance, George Tag: device is in use Tag: 170087
