    - Future version(s) of VBS and strong typing Hello everyone, I've been using VB, VBA and VBS both as a Windows scripting tool and in a few ASP pages as well for a long time now. I've learned to deal with having only the variant data type, but that doesn't mean I don't despise it still. Now I am curious whether future version(s) will support typing or not. I already know about .NET and ASP.NET, where typing is allowed, but I'm talking about VBS as we know and use it now. Does anyone know of plans to "upgrade" the scripting language and support strong typing at any time? For that matter, does anyone know WHY it was not included in the first place? I mean, would it have been THAT hard to implement from the beginning? Sure, you can accomplish quite a bit the way it is, just not EVERYTHING, and I've personally had quite a few occasions when variable typing would have made my job tons easier. Just curious...

    - Passing link text as session variable Hi, Is there a way to pass link text as a session variable to the linked page? Here's what I'm trying to do : The page has a list of groups. Each group name appears in a <A HREF> </A> tag. The page has a binding to the group(s) and has the displayName & distinguishedName of the group. When a user clicks on the group name - which appears between the <A> </A> tags and is a variable - the sAMAccountName or displayName of the group, the corresponding distinguishedName should be passed to the next page as a session variable. (I can do it with a separate button and a hidden form value, but that doesn't work for all names with a space.) Thanks, Bharat Tag: WMI provider is not capable of the attempted operation Tag: 162878

    - How to sign a VBScript in a web page? Maybe I am in the wrong place and doing this the wrong way... please tell me if you think there is a better way. I need to transfer some files from a server to the client workstation. The transfer has to be initiated from a page served up by the web server. This is easy enough to do with VBScript and the FSO but I have to loosen up the browser security and my (military) employer will not allow that. So, is there some way I can take this script and sign it and the user can run it once the certificate is accepted? I am not resigned to using VBScript, it just seemed to be the easiest way and works well. If it makes more sense to make an exe with something like cpp and sign it, that's OK too. Surely there are some tutorials on the web on how to do this, but I can't find any, which makes me fear that it can't be done. I could use an HTA if there is a way to initiate the HTA from the web page and to pass it a parameter (the folder with the files - it will vary with each transfer). FWIW, I can create a page with links to all the files and by clicking on them cause the 'save as' dialog to come up and let the user save them. Problem is, sometimes there will be lots of files and I don't want the user to have to click and save each one individually. Any help will be greatly appreciated...

    - Re: ADsDSOObject question? Hi, Yevgen Thank you very much for your time. I found why i failed before. It works fine after I changed the format of strDomain in (objCommand.CommandText = "Select CN,DistinguishedName from 'LDAP://" & strDomain & _ "' where objectClass='user' and CN = '" & strEmpID & "'") from "DC=MyDomain,DC=COM,DC=TW" to "mydomain.com.tw". I think this is due to i use this script in a cross domain scenario. Both"DC=MyDomain,DC=COM,DC=TW" to "mydomain.com.tw" works fine if i run this script on a member server of same domain.

Maybe you try WinNT provider instead of LDAP for this check ...It's more simple ...One thing to keep in mind is that objUser.Name in WinNT corresponds "userPrincipalName" or "sAMAccountName" in LDAP or logon name of a user ....Then you can check the domain like this ... strUser = "another" strDomain = "domain.com" UserExists = false Set colUsers = GetObject("WinNT://" & strDomain & "") colUsers.Filter = Array("user") For Each objUser In colUsers oldUser = objUser.Name If oldUser = strUser Then UserExists = true End If Next If UserExists Then 'EnableUser() Wscript.Echo "Here" Else 'DSCreateUser() Wscript.Echo "None" End If From: Eric Wu Date Posted: 9/1/2004 9:13:00 PM Hi All, I wrote a script to check if user already existing before create user account, if user exists, i use enable instead of create.

    - ASP version or code problem? Hi everyone, I just resumed working with ASP after a year or so out of the loop and I have this problem (using a simple html editor). Here's my code: dim temp (5) temp(1) = "blablabla" ReDim Preseve (temp(10)) Response.Write temp(1) when I run it I get an error Error Type: Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0009) Subscript out of range: '[number: 10]' /index.asp, line 18 Code seems legit, but something else led me to believe it could be a problem with the Personal Web Server version: When I starting an ASP.NET Web Application with my Visual Studio.NET it told me "Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web Applications or services" and it does not start the project. Has anyone encountered that before? Appreciate any input.

    - ADSI/ASP: How to pass distinguishedName as hidden form field? [FOLLOW-UPS TO microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript] Hi All, I'm running into issues with passing the distinguishedName of a user as a hidden form field in a form from one page to the result page. Page 1: User enters user name in a form field Page 2: Queries AD, gets distinguishedName, binds to the user. Need to add more info to the user if attributes not present. Relevant portion of FORM: Response.Write("<B>ID: " & objUser.ID & "<Font color='Red'>not entered! </font></B>" & _ "<FORM NAME='Form_Addid' ACTION='addid.asp' METHOD='post'>" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='inputId' SIZE=5 MAXLENGTH=6><br>" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='Username' value=" & objUser.sAMAccountName & ">" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='UserDN' value=" & objUser.distinguishedName & ">" & _ "<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='Submit_id' value='Add ID'></FORM>") Page 3: Process form from prevoius page, populate attributes for the same user. Relevant portions of ASP code to get user's details from previous page. <% strUsername=Request.Form("Username") strUserDN = Request.Form("UserDN") Response.Write("Username: " & strUsername) Response.Write("Distinguished Name" " & strUserDN) %> Questions: i) Can the user bind on Page 2 be carried over to page 3 so there's no need to search and bind to the user again? ii) If not, can the distinguishedName be passed on to Page 3 (like I'm trying to do) to eliminate the search portion and simply bind to the distinguishedName? When I try to pass the distinguishedName to Page 3 as a hidden form field, and display the field using Response.Write - I only get a partial distinguishedName - just the CN portion. sAMAccountName seems to be passing without any issues (but then I'd need to search and bind again based on that).

    - Unable to remove remembered drives I've setup a VBScript that looks for an unused drive letter and maps it to another server to allow me to transfer some files. The script is completely finished and works perfectly if I double click on the .VBS file myself and run it. However when I started the file from the scheduler (using the same account and password that I used to logon to the server) its all goes pear shaped. When I started the script from the scheduler by right clicking the task and selecting Run it hung. So I right clicked again and terminated it. I then tried it again a few more times with a few adjustments to the script. It turned out that it couldn't map the drive for some reason and was hanging. The error message was: "An attempt was made to remember a device that had previously been remembered" It seems that while I was debugging my script I was somehow mapping each free drive that was found (although you cant see the mapping in My Computer). And it now appears I cant remove these remembered drives, or map them again... But only when the script is run from Task Scheduler. I've written a function to see whats mapped (see viewMappings below), and this is what it showed: d: = True as Data e: = True as mapped_by_script f: = True as mapped_by_script g: = True as mapped_by_script h: = True as mapped_by_script i: = True as iApps j: = True as mapped_by_script k: = True as mapped_by_script l: = True as Logs m: = False n: = False o: = True as BACKUP p: = False q: = False r: = False s: = False t: = False u: = False v: = False w: = False x: = False y: = False z: = True All the drive marked as 'mapped_by_script' above have been mapped by the script when it ran from Task Scheduler. Looking on the net I've found some code that should remove these drives, ie: WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "E:", False,True However if I try this with E: I get this error- This network connection does not exist. But this cant be True because if I try and map E: I get this error- The local device name is already in use. What on earth is going on here? If I run the script manually again (not from scheduler), it runs perfectly again. And will even map drive E: if I tell it too. Can anyone help? I've been looking at this all day and I just cannot find a solution, and I dont know what to try next! TIA, Colin Function getNextFreeDrive() Dim fso Dim i Set fso = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") For i = Asc("d") To Asc("z") If Not fso.driveexists(chr(i)) Then freeDrive = Ucase(chr(i)) & ":" Exit For End If Next Set fso = Nothing Set i = Nothing End Function Sub mapDrive() On Error Resume Next Dim WshNetwork Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive freeDrive, ExportFolder Set WshNetwork = Nothing End Sub Function viewMappings() On Error Resume Next Dim fso Dim i Dim driveListing Set fso = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") For i = Asc("d") To Asc("z") driveListing = driveListing & Chr(i) & ": = " & _ fso.driveexists(chr(i)) If fso.driveexists(chr(i)) Then driveListing = driveListing & " as " & _ fso.Drives(chr(i)).VolumeName End If driveListing = driveListing & vbcr Next SendCDOMail emailTo, emailFrom, "DRIVE LISTING", driveListing Set fso = Nothing Set i = Nothing End Function Tag: WMI provider is not capable of the attempted operation Tag: 162810

    - Net Share and VBScript Hi all, this is my first time posting. I've been away from VB programing for such a long time I seem to be dumfounded when it comes to doing the easiest things. Here's the situation: Windows 2003 server and domain I have loads of home directories on my school server. With windows 9X's limitation of mapping to a share only the simple thing to do is make a share out of the home directory. - (simple if you like to right click a lot). Rights are already assigned to the home folder when it was created. I have a text file from Active Directory with the users name which matches the users home folder (already created). I would like to use this text file as a input file with a VBScript. While in the Do loop I would like it to... use the net share command to share the home folder as username + $ so that all the shares are hidden (keeps it very clean this way) That's it! Very simple for the right person, which I am not. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Michael Tag: WMI provider is not capable of the attempted operation Tag: 162777

    - How to write the WMI Asset Tag Hi there! the code snippet --- strComputerName = "." strWinMgt = "winmgmts://" & strComputerName & "" Set compsysset = GetObject(strWinMgt).ExecQuery("select * from Win32_SystemEnclosure") For Each CompSys In compsysset MsgBox CompSys.SMBIOSAssetTag Next --- gives me the WMI Asset Tag. Is there a way to (over)write this value? As far as I see it is built in in the computer by the manufacturer, but I would like to use it to store the Asset Number of the PC from our Asset Management Database...

    - a string within a string Hi, I need to use bcp, a command line utility installed with sqlserver, from my script. if I issue the following command at the command prompt it works: bcp "SELECT * FROM pubs..authors" queryout c:\Authors.txt -c -T. Note that the sql statment is quated. I tried to use bcp in the same way as I do with other command lines programs such as: oShell.Run "cmd /C IPconfig/all > ........" I fell to do so as I do not know how to address the fact that the sql statment is a string and the entire parameter passed to the Run method is also a string so there is actually a string inside a string.

    - Scripting DSMOVE DSQUERY and DSMOD help! (EASY?) Hi all, Im trying to create a batch file/vbs or whatever script that allows me to run these commands. Objective of script: To search the whole Active Directory for objects that are duplicated (search condition $DUPLICATES*), mark them as disabled and move them to an OU. If i put these following commands into command prompt one by one it works, but not when i put it into .cmd or .bat (due to the for loop and the variables) for /F "usebackq delims=""" %i in (`dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))"`) do dsmod user %i -disabled yes for /F "usebackq delims=""" %i in (`dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))"`) do dsmove %i -newparent ou=scheduled,dc=YOURDOMAIN,dc=com if I use the default piping for dsquery and dsmod it works fine however if i use dsquery piping with DSMOVE (if there are more than 1 objects to be moved) it failed! (crap) dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))" | dsmod user -disabled yes dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))" | dsmove -newparent ou=scheduled,dc=YOURDOMAIN,dc=com Anyone kind enough to mod this? :) Cheers!

    - Loading an image within an asp page I have had a lot of trouble with this, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to where I am going wrong. My asp is a simple image viewer, it lists all the photos in the directory, (1 for each astff member), has the facility to search, and when you click on the link corresponding to the staff member it should load the image in that page.

    - vb script to join domain I am trying to write a script that will open the computer name changes window in the system control panel. A friend gave the following: Option Explicit Dim oWS Set oWS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WScript.Sleep 5500 'Bring up the System Properties window oWS.run "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl,,1" WScript.Sleep 1000 'Bring up the computer name changes window oWS.SendKeys "%c" WScript.Sleep 1000 oWS.SendKeys "%d" WScript.Sleep 1000 oWS.SendKeys "{Tab}" WScript.Sleep 500 oWS.SendKeys "test.local" WScript.Sleep 500 oWS.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Set oWS = nothing The problem is the system properties window loses focus and the rest of the commands don't register. Is there a way to directly bring up the computer name changes window? Or is there a way to make the System Properties window the focus?

    - Unintentional ascii 0 (nulls) when creating file with FSO? I'm creating files on an IIS 5.0 web server, and when I create files with the FileSystemObject, it creates files that have ASCII 0's as every other character. For example, if I TextStream.Write("Hello"), the resulting file has: (gibberish) H (null) e (null) l (null) l (null) o (null) In a text editor, the output looks fine, like "Hello". In a hex editor, the file looks like this: FF FE 48 00 65 00 6C 00 6C 00 6F 00 Anyone have an idea what's going on? It's driving me nuts... I'm not sure where the "FF FE" comes from either.

    - regular expressions I'm back with something that makes no sense to me .... as far as I can see the three if statements are identical except for the input. One is the regular phone, then cell phone and then the fax ..... function validForm( passform) { << other validation skipped >> re = /^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/ validPhone = re.exec(passForm.fldPhone.value); if ( validPhone ) { passForm.fldPhone.value = "(" + validPhone[1] + ") " + validPhone[2] + "-" + validPhone[3]; } else { errList += " a valid phone number\n"; if (!hasError) { passForm.fldPhone.focus(); hasError = true; } } if ( passForm.fldCell.length > 0) { recell = /^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/ validCell = recell.exec(passForm.fldCell.value); if ( validCell ) { passForm.fldCell.value = "(" + validCell[1] + ") " + validCell[2] + "-" + validCell[3]; } else { errList += " if entered the cell must be a valid phone number\n"; if (!hasError) { passForm.fldCell.focus(); hasError = true; } } } if ( passForm.fldFax.length > 0) { refax = /^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/ validFax = refax.exec(passForm.fldFax.value); if ( validFax ) { passForm.fldFax.value = "(" + validFax[1] + ") " + validFax[2] + "-" + validFax[3]; } else { errList += " if entered the fax must be a valid phone number\n"; if (!hasError) { passForm.fldFax.focus(); hasError = true; } } } << handle the error and redirect to the next form >> } THey shouldbe identical since I copied the first one and made the requisit changes for the cell and fax. However the output (as show in the session variables into which they are stashed) Session("svPersonPhone") = Request.Form("fldPhone") Session("svPersonCell") = Request.Form("fldCell") Session("svPersonFax") = Request.Form("fldFax") show up as follows: SVPERSONZIPCODE - 123451234 SVPERSONPHONE - (123) 123-1234 SVPERSONCELL - 4564564567 <<== notice not formatted ... SVPERSONFAX - 7897987890 SVPERSONEMAIL - initially the regular expressions were all just 're' then when I started looking at this I changed them to 'recell' and 'refax' on the off chance that there might be a funny in re-using a regular expression. as always other comments are appreciated, but please also address this issue.

    - Editing an Access table from VBscript? I'm looking for a way to read from and write to a table within an MS-Access database. I'll explain why I need this. In my company, I want to keep a logfile of the computers that have logged into the network. If the computername is not in a list, I want the user to enter some information on a popup screen, about the location of the computer (room-number). Once the computername is in the list, the script should continue without the user noticing. It should then only write the current date and time. Would this be possible with Vbscript? Wouter.

    - vbscript and IIS Hi, I've got the following task to do: I need to check various settings of a website files on IIS. This mainly involves type of access (anonymous, basic authentication etc.) Up to now I've done it manually, I opened inetmgr, browsed to my website and than I manually checked file by file, security settings. Now, since the task is rather tedious, I thought about a script which would do this for me, but I'm not really sure how. I am dimly aware of things like ADSI, but I don't have any experience with it. Could anyone provide any example, how for instance I can check if the anonymous access has been set for given aspx file?!

Hi.
I have been looking all over the web for how to set values with the use of
WMI, but cannot find much information.

I am using the PUT_ method but it generates the following message "provider
is not capable of the attempted operation"

Can anyone tell me why I receive this message?? Or even better.. How to use
wmi to set values.

My script looks like this:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\citrix")
Set colapps = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from MetaFrame_Application")
For Each objApp in colApps
'Display the metaframe application im trying to disable
Msgbox objApp.Name
'disable applic|ation
objApp.EnableApp = False
'Save the data
objApp.Put_

Next
