    - Executing a batch file only if the laptop is located on a particular subnet. Hi guys, Hope you can help. Requirement/s: - Back up a folder on a laptop daily to a network location. - Only run the backup task IF the user is located on subnet 10.60.10.x, Id like the script to be able to check for a network connection, and if none, to abort the running of the backup. - System in question is a laptop that gets a DHCP address. I can generate the backup script, but what Id like help si the following: 1. How to code the script so that it only runs IF the laptop is given a DHCP address of 10.60.10.x and not another DHCP address, meaning it is on a different subnet 2. If the user is not connected to the LAN, and the task runs, to not run the script at all. That is, Id like the script to be able to check for a network connection, and if none, to abort the running of the backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..

    - Creating share on Home-directory : fails on workstation ... works on server ... Hi all, I'm writing a GUI-application whixh is in fact the program which 'replaces' the User Manager in our shops. So, It works almost ... just a last 'problem'. In fact, when creating a user, I create also the Home-directory and a share on the folder (all created on the server). The application runs as well on the server as on the workstations. We work with Server 2003 / XP. I can create the home-directory and share when the application runs on the server. But when it runs on the WORKSTATIONS, I CAN'T create the SHARE. An error does always occur ! Does anyone has an idea why it doesn't work ? I'm looking for a 'script'-solution : I mean, I do not want to use some 'external' EXE's like RMTSHARE.EXE (if possible). Here's the code : For the folder : On Error GoTo ERROR_HANDLING Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(as_folder) 'UNC-name like : '\\S099C01\Home$\test001' For the share : On Error GoTo ERROR_HANDLING Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & as_server & "\root\cimv2") Set objNewShare = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share") nReturn = objNewShare.Create(as_directory, as_sharename, FILE_SHARE, Null, as_comment) 'with 'as_server' is the servername : ex. : 'S0999C01' ' 'as_directory' is the LOCAL path on the server : ex. : 'U:\Home\test001' If nReturn <> 0 Then Select Case nReturn ... End Select Else End If Thanks, Marc. Tag: is it possible to lock desktop (like you can from task manager) with vbscript? Tag: 166404

    - parsing Hi, I've some textfiles which i would like to import. In one textfile there are over 1024 columns when separated. This exceeds sql server's maximum columns. Let call this the resultfile. In the other texfile i've got a descriptionfile about the resultfile. The description contains the columnnames of the resultfile (see below for example). The problem with the resultfile is that it doesn't contain any columnnames, but the columns appear in order of the descriptionfile. The tricky part is that there are columns which really represents 1 column (those columns has the same name but with an indexnumber). The values in those columns need to be changed into the indexnumber, but start from zero. Then data should be transformed For example (never mind the values): id | field1_1 | field1_2 | field2 | field3 1 | empty 1 1 2003 Above should be: id | name | value 1 field1_1 | empty 1 field1_2 | 1 (should be 2, but i want i the index to start from 0, so it is 1) 1 field2 | 1 1 field3 | 2003 Descriptionfile example: formid fieldnr fieldname idx length 1 1 field0 0 2 1 2 field1 1 1 1 3 field1 2 1 1 4 field2 0 2 1 5 field3 0 4 Can someone help me on this, i want to use a vbscript in a sql dts package?

    - Edit/Delete section of an ini file I need to write a string value to a section of an ini file. I managed to write to it but it appends to existing values. I need to either edit the current value or delete the values in the section in question before I write new values For example: file ="C:\VBS\myConfig.ini" Section = "ORACLE TO SQL SERVER" item = "CASE_X" Value = "XYZ" ini file output: [ORACLE TO SQL SERVER] CASE_X=ABC CASE_X=XYZ CASE_X=XYZ DB_NAME=YYY LSNAME=orclDB DTSERROR_O2S="C:\sqlConfig\dtsError\orcl_2_mssql\xxx.txt" How do I edit the original value of ABC to XYZ without having to write new lines as I need only I line for CASE_X Values.

    - Way to recursively Find pre-defined files (from list) and Copy to new Dir? Hi - haven't had any luck finding this type of script: 1. I have a pre-defined list of filenames (stored in a plain txt document called 'files.txt') 2. I'd like to write a script that will search the file system For each file in the plain txt document (could be nested in sub-directories) and copy them to a new location I've found plenty of examples for finding types of files (i.e. .mp3's, .zip's, etc.) but nothing that will let me pass in specific (& unique) filenames.

    - CSV file parsing Hi, Please forgive me - I'm new to scripting... I have a csv file, comma-delimited, which has the following fields, E-mail Addresses SMTP:ecdlcorrector@DOMAIN.com%MS:TRAINING/DOMAIN/ECDLCORREC%X400:c=US;a= ;p= Training;o=DOMAIN;s=ecdlcorrector;%CCMAIL:ecdlcorrector at DOMAIN Secondary-Proxy-Addresses smtp: I need to get a vbscript to take the "ecdlcorrector" from <SMTP:ecdlcorrector@domain.com> and add it to the field <secondary-proxy-address>, but only use the "ecdlcorrector" part and add it to "@newdomain.com". Essentially, I want to add the ecdlcorrector in the above as a new email address with a different @domainname into the secondary-proxy-address field.

    - InputBox on top I have a COM server (out-of-proc) that starts a VBscript by means of the script control. The script needs to display an input box. The box shows, but it is not on top. Is there any way I can make it to appear on top automatically, from within the script? Alternatively, does anyone know of a tool that would spy on the windows and automatically raise windows with a given title (or title pattern)?

    - Getting Around AppActivate, trying to SetFocus This seems as though it should be simple, but I'm having a tough time. I have a vbscript that starts up an application (a VPN client). I start this as a shell.Exec since I need to read the output and verify that the "dialogue" is correct. After reading the correct text, I then need to send back an acknowledgement (a "y"). The problem is in running it as a scheduled task. When I run it from a command line, it works fine. But when I run as a scheduled task, even with an "AppActivate" call, the window does not get focus and thus the input is not sent, and the application hangs. Research has suggested that AppActivate is somehow problematical (I'm not sure why). There is a third party component AutoITX that does what I want, but I am forbidden to use software with this type of licensing, so that is not an option. I'm trying to cobble together a COM component that will do roughly what "WinActivate" does. I can (I think) get the window handle from either a FindWindow() call or via EnumWindows(); the question is what to do next. SetFocus doesn't seem to work - I suspect because it is in a different thread. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Is the VB AppActivate method more robust than the VBScript one, or is is just a shell?) TIA, Jim Tag: is it possible to lock desktop (like you can from task manager) with vbscript? Tag: 166274

It throws no errors, opening up with: Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved. and returns me to the command prompt.

    - "If wscript.interactive then" crashes with no error Hi, I have a working script that I want to use in both batch mode and interactive. Interactive works fine. When I use "C:\WINNT\system32\wscript.exe //X //D C:\WINNT\system32\OWAchange.vbs //B //nologo" to start the script, it exits with no error upon reaching the line, "If WScript.Interactive Then". I have searched msdn, all the help files, and googled it, and can find no reference to any problem. The line works fine in interactive mode. Can someone clue me in to what the problem may be? I realize that stdin,stdout,& stderr are not available when using Wscript instead of Cscript, but I would not think that this would be a factor(and I'm not using them, anyway). Please help.

Hi

This command will do it:

%windir%\SYSTEM32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

(note that LockWorkStation is case sensitive).
