    - Running WMI scripts asynchrnously Hey all, I'm running a simple WMI query (straight out of scriptomatic!!)against the network which outputs to excel. Everything works great for the most part, First problem: some machines are still having issues with permissions and or connectivity (network path not found, but I can ping it). But that's not the problem, when my script hits one of those machines even with On Error Resume Next the script freezes. Also for more info...if I run an independent script against these boxes it freezes also when trying to connect to WMI Any suggestions?? Second problem is that we currently have over 3000 machines and running this script takes almost 3-4 hours. Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn how to run this script asynchrnously. Thanks in advance for the assist. Larry Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158614

    - Problem when running a VBScript in a .CMD file Hi all ! I have this strange problem regarding running a VBScript in a .CMD file. The problem does not exist if I run the script on the command line. Here is what I do: --------------------- Option Explicit Dim WSHShell, Args, i, Strng Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set Args = WScript.Arguments For i = 0 to Args.Count - 1 WScript.StdOut.Write Args(i) Next WScript.Quit --------------------- Then i run it with the following command: cscript /nologo /b rawout.vbs "Søren" (as you can see I'm from Denmark). The result is: Søren But when I run it from a .CMD file the result is: S°ren The problem seems to be with the characters æøå ! Does anyone know why ?. And how can I correct this ? I run WinXP English version SP1 Thanks in advance ;-) My regards Søren Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158596

    - Swapping Variables (without a temp variable) Normally at work whenever we want to swap the value of two variables, we use code similar to the following: Dim TempVar TempVar = VariableX VariableX = VariableY VariableY = TempVar Is there anything out there that will do this in an elegant, one-line approach? e.g.: Swap(VariableX,VariableY) I realize you could probably build a function easy enough but I don't want to recreate the wheel if I don't have to.

    - Email attachment problems I have a script to email a backup log once per day. The script runs fine, but the attachment has problems. If there is a period (.) in the body of the attachment, anything after that is screwed up. Any idea why a period would be causing such a problem? And is there a fix?

    - scripting runas to pass a password I have been given a task to create a script that will allow a user to register .dll files without being an administrator of the machine. The only way I can think to do this is to use the runas.exe command. My problem is, runas.exe does not allow you to pass the password to it without manually entering the password. We cannot allow the users to have admin rights or to know the password of an administrative account. Does anyone know of a way to do this in a script or another free tool that would allow me to accomplish this task? Please keep in mind, my company does not want to spend any money other than my time to complete this task. Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158560

    - Searching a CSV and Totaling Unique Occurrences of Strings within. Heya, I have a small problem i need some help with. I have a directory of CSV files about 250 of them, that i need to search though and and generate some totals from. I can quite easily join all the files together using a 'copy *.csv full-list.csv' so that i need only work on one file rather than work my way though a the directory one by one. The files contain a non unique id (unique to the file, but not the set of files) followed by a name. So it looks like this; a,katie, a,natasha, a,monica, ... etc There are 250 files like this. What i need to do is find all the unique names in the whole set (all the files) and then how many times those names occur. i.e. how many 'katies' occur across all 250 files. This needs to be outputted just as each unique name and a total. kate,15, monica,11, natasha,4, Also if it is possible i'd also like to have the id's that occur with each occurrence of a unique name outputted in some manner. Perhaps as a quoted encapsulated string in a third column. Something like this.... katie,15,"a,b,c,d,e" All seems a tiny bit complicated and a bit much to get my head around. Can anyone have a shot provide code that will provide me with the unique names and the total occurrences? Many thanks in advance, Hardeep. Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158545

    - What's the best/easiest way to Rename a file using Date/Time Variables? I have a ridiculously simply need. I have a Batch file which performs certain Archiving functions for me. At the end, it Zips everything up into one file. However, the functionality I need is to be able to, at the time of execution, create a new Folder and rename a file(s) using Date and/or Time variables. For example, if I'm running my "Archive.bat" file on 5/25/2004 at 2:46pm, when I'm done I'll end up with a file called "Archive.zip" I need to have a Script that will do the following: 1. Create a Folder using the current Date/Timestamp however I choose. For example, if I specify (either in the Script or via command line parameter) "Archive Folder - MM-DD-YYYY", I want to end up with a folder named "Archive Folder - 05-25-2004" 2. Rename that file also using the current Date/Timestamp however I choose. For example, if I specify (also either in the Script itself, or via command line parameter) - "Archive - MM-DD-YYYY - HH:MM:AP.zip", I want to end up with a file named "Archive - 05-25-2004 - 2:46pm.zip" The format of the date and time doesn't have to be that dynamic for the actual naming of the file/folder. I'm perfectly fine defining the format within a variable (Say, for example, "CurrentDate" and "CurrentTime") and then using those variables for the naming (i.e. "Archive - %CurrentDate - %CurrentTime.zip" ) What is the best way to achieve this goal? I can't imagine it's that difficult, but I'm not terribly familiar with script programming. I'd appreciate whatever help anyone could offer. Thanks! Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158539

    - RunAs Alternatives Hello, We are constructing a script that will be launched from the end of the domain login script in our AD environment. This script will query the registry for the latest critical updates, determine which are missing and install the missing updates. We have it working, except that we have to reference a local Administrator/password when using the RunAs command to install any missing patches. This Admin/Password pair is in plain text in the script, and for security reasons, we only want to have one local administrator per workstation. Is there a way with VBScript to hide (hash) a domain account password, or install a patch locally while logged on as a member of the Local Users group? Basically, the ciritical updates need to be installed by a local administrator, and we need a way to run these updates from a VBScript login as that local administrator while not compromising the seecurity of the system. Any thoughts greatly appreciated...!! Thanks, Chris twinked@seajay.com Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158523

What i need is the server side code which moves the files i.e... If strSelectedpdf <> "" Then ObjFSO.Movefile Oldfile, Newfile End If ...to be run when the user clicks submit and the user is taken to the next page. At the moment it works if the forms action is to the current page beacause the variables have been populated with the user's input and the script is re run when the page is opened again, but i want the code to be run as the page is left so i can direct them to a results page. I imagine it would be something along the lines of Sub window.onunload() If strSelectedpdf <> "" Then ObjFSO.Movefile Oldfile, Newfile End If end sub But this doesnt work.

With the above results. The .hta-file and the .xls file are in the same directory. Even when i hardcode the path i get the same result. Is this the bug Michael Harris wrote about in a posting from 1999/09/18 (Subject: Open Excel 2000 from htm fails!): "It also fails for Excel 2000, WSH2 beta, and the version 5.0 vbscript engine. The failure isn't when creating the object, only when referencing any property or method. Of course there's not much point in creating it if you can't use it. ...So, when you use CreateObject("Excel.Sheet") and then try to reference it in any way, it fails. If you try the GetObject("","Excel.Sheet") alternative method, it also fails. But if you use WScript.CreateObject or GetObject instead, it works. Of course, this isn't a solution available from (local) html or an hta. So it would appear that there's a bug in the vbscript 5.0 CreateObject/GetObject methods that is not in the wscript versions." Or am i doing something wrong? What can i do to achieve that i can store data from a .hta file in an excel file? I use: - wsh version 5.6 - vbscript v.?? - internet explorer v.6 - windows xp pro - excel 2002 Any help would be appreciated gr Jan Tag: read o.s. and Office version Tag: 158497

    - Response.Write not writing anything Hi, I have an asp page that imports delimited text files into a database. One of our users has rather large text files. Once all these files are imported the page prints the word "Success" to the screen. This no longer works when importing the large files. If I shorten the number of files imported so it takes just a few minutes the word "Success" appears and all works fine. If I alter the asp back to import all the files (takes about 10 minutes) the browser sits at the page loading screen indefinably. This script creates log files as it goes so I can see that all the files are imported successfully (that's why I know it takes about 10 minutes : ) just that the web page fails to report this. After the last import I use Response.Write "Success". I have tried Response.Flush, Response.End and played with the WriteBlock command. None of these make any difference. Any ideas on how fix this?

    - Urgent Help Please! Hi guys, I have a problem and would love your help. Users have been added to the Power Users Group in a Windows 2003 Domain. They all run eTrust InoculateT Antivirus. When you log on as one of these users, you are able to stop the antivirus services. Is there any way to deny them the ability to stop these 2 services? Thanks.

    - Scanning Servers For Available Drive Space? I'm need to scan various remote servers for the available drive space of all drives on a each server. Executing the script from my machine I'm able to capture the drive info for remote servers if I pass the script a list of server names and drive letters i.e. \\servername\c$ But, given the number of servers I have to scan and not knowing what drives are used on each server I'd prefer to simply use a list of server names and dynamically determine which drives are used on that server and subsequently capture the available drive space for each. As far as I can tell the fso.Drives collection is only relevant to the local machine. Is there a way to collect the available drive info on a remote server - in vbs or otherwise?? Thanks in advance.

I would find a script in order to achieve the o.s. version and the MS Office
programs and version installed.
How can I do?

Thanks

The quickest way is to use a registry read, take a look at the function
GetOsVersionNumber (and GetSPNumber for service pack level) here:

Take a look at this post for how to detect what MS Office
programs are installed:

http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=urFnS78LEHA.1192%40TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl

If you only need to know what major version of Office that is
installed (Office 2003/2002 etc.):

With WSH RegRead

With WMI
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3FBB974D.DBBEA53D%40hydro.com

If you need to know in more detail what Office version it is (service pack
level etc.) it starts to be complicated:
