    - Can vbscript name files in a web folder? I'm wondering if I should learn vbScript... I'd like to have a folder in my webspace, where I can dump any number of jpg's arbitrarily, and write a web-page that will pick up everything in the jpg folder, without my having to name each jpg in the script. Can that be done with vbscript, or does it exceed security limitation. tony Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ? Tag: 165170

    - Null return to registry query Problem: Connection to the registry returns null value Platform: Windows XP, SP1 Users: Runs as logon script under normal user credentials. The line of code that returns the null value is: Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:root\default:StdRegProv") To note is that the script works on some configurations and not others. I assumed the problem was security related and replaced the code with: Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\root\default:StdRegProv") to no avail. I have noticed the security log consistently logs event 577, privilege use failure audit indicating "Privileges: SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege". This may or may not be related. I was wondering if anyone else had seen similar behavior in especially locked down environments. Thanks. Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ? Tag: 165119

    - Event log monitoring I have a script written to monitor logs and send out an SMTP mail message to me. Problem is - If a server has a problem on the SAME event (i.e. Symantec Errors) I only want it to send me the message 1 time Here is what I have thought of to fix it: Every time an event occurs - it appends to a txt file the event id code. Everytime it finds an error - it first checks that file to see if that event id is in there. if it is, it skips it. I will delete this file 1 time a day with another script to stop it from running. My question: How do I code it to append something to a txt file - I know that is an easy one Next, how do I check it, or read it to say if its found, then skip it. else send out the mail Thanks in advance Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ?

    - VBScript, ASP, and Active Directory We are trying to use vbscript in a .asp page to authenicate a user in our Active Directory. The following works correctly against our main domain. Both the user name and password is validated properly. strADsPath=WinNT://domain.com strUser =domain.com\j5c Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUser, strPassword, 0) Hereâ??s where the issue is, we have a separate domain for each site. Users at each site are in the site domain and not in the main domain. For example, the site domain is called ada.domain.com on server ada-admin1. I have a user account with j5c as the username in both the ada.domain.com and domain.com domains. The following will find the j5c user but I can put anything in for the password. It finds j5c in the main domain, domain.com based on writing out the values I put in the description field on the j5c account in both domains. The return code is always 0 with a correct user name and any password. strADsPath =WinNT://ada.domain.com/ada-admin1 strUser =ada.domain.com\j5c Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUser, strPassword, 0) If I donâ??t include the server name, ada-admin1, in strADsPath =WinNT://ada.domain.com/ada-admin1, it does find the ada.domain.com domain. Iâ??m not sure if the issue is the way we have Active Directory set up or the syntax for pointing to the site domains. Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ? Tag: 165086

The system works fine, but I would like to find the anchor in the HTML table of contents that matches the current page and change its class.

    - Running VBScript in Outlook 2003 Hi, System Details: Windows XP Professional SP2, Outlook 2003 SP1, IE6 SP2. I have a Java appliaction that constructs a HTML Email and sends it to a mail client. In the HTML Email I have embeded some VBSCRIPT which is called via the ONCLICK event of an <A> tag. In the VBScript I create an XML document then mail it via the Outlook API. On Win2K and Outlook 2000 this worked fine but now, when I click the link in Outlook 2003, nothing happens (no "Cannot Create ActiveX" messages either) !!! I have tried putting the message into the Internet zone (with low security) and the same occurred. I replaced my script with a simple message box call and this never activates either. I've even tried the "One-off-form" registry hack, again to no avail. If I load the sent HTML into a browser it works OK so I am sure the syntax is right. Here is an example of the link and script... <a style="cursor:hand;color:green;text-decoration:underline" onclick="OpenNewMail('test','test')">OK</a> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"> Sub OpenNewMail(strAddress, strSubjectLine) MsgBox "In OpenNewMail" End Sub </SCRIPT> Can anyone suggest how I can get vbscript to work in a HTML email in Outlook 2003 (has anyone got it to work!)? Is there some sort of new METADATA setting to make the HTML Outlook 2003 friendly perhaps? Any help would be massively appreciated as this is driving me barmy!

The application works correctly in Windows 2000 but fails in Windows Server 2003. app code: ... strQry = "SELECT fielda, fieldb, amt, ...., Set rsFACTS = oFACTS.Execute(strQry) ... intAmtSGL = rsFACTS("amt") ... %><td width="21%" align="right" ><%=formatcurrency(intAmtSGL)%></td><% ... Field amt = -216556000000 - - ok in database (Viewed via Enterprise Manager) Displays as $36,376,018,631.48 If for example, I update DB with amt = -255000000000 it displays as $29,820,018,631.48 ??? -- Kent Smith Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ?

    - Count Physical Processors: Exclude Hyperthreading..? Hi there I am currently using the following code snippet to retrieve the number of processors installed on my servers: Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strSrv & "\root\cimv2") Set colSettings = objWMI.ExecQuery _ ("Select Name, MaxClockSpeed from Win32_Processor") For Each objProcessor in colSettings Wscript.Echo strSrv & "," & colSettings.Count & "," & TRIM(objProcessor.Name) 'Wscript.Echo "MaxClockSpeed: " & objProcessor.MaxClockSpeed Exit For Next The problem with this, is that if a Server has Hyperthreading enabled, it reports twice the actual number of physicall processors. Does anyone perhaps know how I can establish whether Hyperthreading is enabled, so then at least I can divide by 2 to get the actual count. Or alternatively, is there a different object that I can query for this..? Thanks William R. Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ? Tag: 165025

    - Adding checkbox IF I create checkBox dynamically: Set TD = TR.InsertCell() TD.innerHtml="<INPUT type='checkbox' id='chkNujno"&indeks&"' name='chkNujno"&indeks&"'> When the page is submitted I can't read this checkbox, no matter if checkbox is checked or not.

    - Message Box activation Hi, I have written a VBScript that uses Send Keys to automate an application. The application dials out to download files and this process of dialing out is initiated within the application. The issue I am having is that the modem occationally fails to dail out and as a result of this there is a message box which pops up resulting in the rest of send keys keystrokes going crazy. Is there a solution in VB which will check the activation of this message box once the send keys initiate the modem dialup and keep looping till around 5 min which will be the max time the modem will take to dialout. I need to add error handling so that only on the apperance of this message box which will indicate the failure of the modem to dailout will the Enter sendkey will be sent and the whole routine restarted.. Const iNormalFocus = 1 Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "FINAL.EXE",iNormalFocus Wscript.Sleep 10000 objShell.SendKeys "" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "" objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"R" objShell.SendKeys "D" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "R" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "S" #This is were the modem connection is initiated Wscript.Sleep 350000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" objShell.SendKeys "%"+"R" objShell.SendKeys "R" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "E" objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 100 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"A" objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "E" Wscript.Sleep 100 objShell.SendKeys "{DEL}" objShell.SendKeys "l" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" Wscript.Sleep 10000 xor Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ?

    - Execution Problem Hello I have this line in my code: objShell.Run("psexec \\hostx.domain.com -s -u hostx -p hostxpass diruse /s /m /* " & "d:\root\" & " > " & "d:\root\will\test.txt") If I echo the command out, and just copy and paste it into a command prompt, the script executes as expected. However, if I run it using the above code, the command executes fine BUT it does not pipe it out into a file. To double check, I made sure the program ran a longtime, and in the title bar it said \\hostx.domain.com -s -u hostx -p hostxpass diruse /s /m /* d:\root\ > d:\root\will\test.txt Does anybody have any idea why the pipe out is working if I execute it from the command prompt, but not from the Run method?

    - Bridged network adapters Has anyone had success scripting the detection of bridged network adapters on WinXP / Win2K? Something equivalent to viewing the properties of the MAC Bridge Miniport device that is created when you bridge two connections. For example, I would like to determine whether a given machine has bridged an active wireless network adapter with an active ethernet adapter. regards, graham Tag: How can i refresh the desktop ?

You can use this:
http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scripts.html#jssys

But it requires a component. The API for refreshing
the Desktop is not available from script.
