    - Scheduled Tasks I have an Inno Setup that installs a bunch of scripts and batch files that need to be scheduled. I would like to know two things: 1) Does anyone have a script/routine that can be invoked from Inno that can schedule a predeteremined task? 2) I was thinking it would be nice to have a basic form that the user can pick what day of week, time, etc., a scheduled item can be run. The form information woudl then be interpreted and then create the scheduled task. Has anyone done anything like this before? I see I can use the Win32_ScheduledJob service tasks within WinMgmts:, but it appears to create the task under the "AT" command. Although it shows up under the "Explorer Scheduled Tasks" view, it cannot be edited. I must edit from the AT command. Anyone have any clue why? Tag: How can I programatically share a printer?

    - User rights to server shares I'm looking for a script, or pointers to help my helpdesk people find out what rights a user has to several file shares. They may have a user that tries to view a stored fax on one of several servers, but the user cannot see the file, has no rights. What I am looking for is a script that I can have the helpdesk person run, they fill in the user's logon name, and the server\share that is a problem. What I would like to come back is the rights that the user has in that share - read only, modify, no rights. The help-desk won't have the user's password, just the logon ID. Some of our groups are nested 3-5 levels deep, which complicates the search. Any ideas? Randy Reimers Tag: How can I programatically share a printer? Tag: 172770

    - Very large SQL - how do I carry it over multiple lines I have an extremely long SQL statement that I need to run to update around 53 variables - and instead of having it run horizontally forever off my screen, I would like to ask what is the proper way to carry statements over multiple lines in VBScript instead of having to contain it on just one really really really long line. Is it possible? Thanks for the assistance. I did a search on here and couldn't find anything. Tag: How can I programatically share a printer? Tag: 172763

    - Run on startup, but only in this hardware profile? Hello, Is there a way to launch an application at login depending on the current hardware profile? For example, when using the "Docked" profile, I'd like to launch a certain .EXE. But when I'm not booting up under the Docked profile, the .EXE would not run. If not natively supported, could it be something that's scripted?

    - Solution found: change directory and then type text Thanks Björn. I have now found a solution which works: Set objshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objshell.Environment("process")("prompt") = "$V$_$T$_$P$G" objshell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\" objshell.Run "%comspec% /c Mytext" Looks always easier in the end!

    - Execute program First of all I want to limit one users access on a stand alone PC. I set the login time window with the NET USER command which indeed limits login. However, it doesn't force logout after exceeding login time frame. Now I want to schedule a script that warns the user that a logoff will occur, and thereafter loggs off the current user. I can create messages in VBScript but my questions are these: How can I identify the current logged on user and compare this with a constant?

    - Configuring Error Handling with in this Script Below is a copy of my script that I'm using to set a random password to the local administrator. I would like to improve but would like some help doing it. I would like to put some error handling in so that I can control an error and take approrate action if it fails, because at the moment if it fails say user not found the program just stops. Also I didn't know if there was a way to query the name of the default local administrator. Be honest if needs completly rewriting then say so.

The error is "ActiveX component can't create object: 'Outlook.Application' I believe that one of two things might be causing this (please correct me if I'm wrong)... 1) The security settings in IE or an IE security update is preventing the VBScript to work.

    - A couple of questions about VBScript I've got a couple of questions WRT VBScript. I am using VBScript with Windows Script Host on Windows XP and incorporating the scripts into a WSF file. My questions are as follows: 1. Do classes allow for public or private Const declarations? I've tried, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I have been able to duplicate the behavior by using properties with only a Get accessor, but this seems to be a bit of a hack. I have several constants that are only needed internal to the class and several that are helpful as arguments to methods. The amount of code needed for the property hack seems wasteful and the initialization of private data members is cumbersome. 2. Does VBScript allow Enums? The documentation doesn't appear to disallow it, but I am unable to code them without getting a runtime error. I've likely missed something in the documentation, but I thought that I would ask. 3. Is it possible to have some sort of class constructor that takes an argument as opposed to Class_Initialize which does not allow arguments? I have several classes where it makes sense to only have single step contruction as the class is in an indeterminate state unless several properties are known at class instantiation time. Two-step construction would require the user of the classes to know that the second method call is required. Thanks in advance.. -Pete Tag: How can I programatically share a printer? Tag: 172611

Replace(reg_string, "00", "01", 63, 1, 0) If so would someone be able be able to help me read in a binary registry value that I could run the replace on. I really don't have any preference how I get to how I get this to work, my programming knowledge is limited so any advice or help would be most appreciated. Thanks for time Gary PS My reference to a byte is if you export out from the registery a binary value eg "1"=hex:03,00,00,00,00,00,00, I'm asuming that the number inbetween the coma's represets a byte and I've worked out byte's that I would need to change. Please feel free to tell me if i'm being a doughnut Tag: How can I programatically share a printer? Tag: 172598

Thanks Tag: How can I programatically share a printer? Tag: 172595

I would like to programmatically create a local JetDirect printer connection
(A local printer that uses a JetDirect port) and then share the printer. I
would also like to share an existing printer that is not shared to account
for the instance where the JetDirect printer already exists. I can't seem
to find any reference on how to do that. I can find lots of info on
creating non-JetDirect printers and even auto-sharing them through the
printUI dll but not to do what I am trying to do.

To narrow the scope a bit, I can write the glue but need the following:

1. Creating a JetDirect printer and sharing it.
2. Sharing a printer.

Thanks!

Kevin
