    - 0x80041001 accessing WMI from script Hello all, I am trying to use a vbs script that changes alert resolution state in MOM2005 SP1 using WMI ROOT\MOM, class MSFT_Alert. Script is here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms812714.aspx For some object instances when I use command "Call objAlert.Put_" I got error "SWbemObjectEx: Generic failure". Also when I am trying to change resolution state value and save the object using wbemtest utility it shows me more error data: "Number: 0x80041001, Facility: WMI, Description: Generic failure". For some object instances script works ok WMIDiag from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d7ba3cd6-18d1-4d05-b11e-4c64192ae97d&displaylang=en says that "SUCCESS: WMIDiag determined that WMI works CORRECTLY". I tried to update only part of an instance, but it still fails: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393949.aspx Related link: http://www.mombu.com/microsoft/mom-sdk/t-set-alert-resolution-state-put-method-fails-with-error-generic-failure-205225.html What this error means and how to resolve the issue?

    - Sort multi-dimensional array using vb.net Hi all, I have a recordset (result after executing a SQL query) containing names of employees and their information. The [EmployeeName] column is in unicode. Due to limition of sorting unicode results in T-SQL, I would like to dump the recordset in an array and sort them according to the [EmployeeName]. Sample data will be as follows: [EmployeeNo]......[EmployeeName]......[Dept]......[Title] 193......Peter......Finance.....Manager 632......Amy......Marketing......(blank) 8765......Chris......Marketing......Clerk 87......John......HR......(blank) I guess the data should be put in an array (arr(no.ofRecords,4))similar to the one below: arr(0,0) = 193 arr(0,1) = Peter arr(0,2) = Finance arr(0,3) = Manager arr(1,0) = 632 .... I find it impossible to use the "sort" method in vb.net because it deals with 1-dimensional array only. May I know how to sort the above data in vb .net (2003) so I can have the [EmployeeName] in ascending order? I will need to display the rest of the information as well. Thanks very much.

    - external vbscript file I've programmed in VB in Windows for years but new to web dev and VBScript... I'm trying to write a popup balloon to display when user hovers or clicks a link... The text will be data returned from a SQL query. That function works works but I'm trying to put it in an external vbs file. I have my vbs file KJVQuery.vbs with the function that returns a <p> tag with the recordset data: Function GetKJVBibleVerse (sBook, sChapter, sVerse) ....

    - I need to check Folder and make sure it is empty. I have 4 folders that are used all night and populated with text files. In the morning, the files have all been processed and the foldrs are ( or should be) empty. Occasionally text files get left behind. I need to modify an existing VBScript to check and make sure each folder is empty before allowing operator to continue with script's operation. Psuedocode: 'Check Folder1 Is Folder empty? If Folder is empty, then 'procede with next step, ELSE 'display message box "Text Files have been left unprocessed in Folder1. Move and process files, and empty Folder1, then restart this script."VBCRLF,"This program will now end". '(The vbscript will end and no further action taken if files still exist.) END IF I can handle the actions to take, but I don't know the best way to determine if a folder is empty or if any files exist. The filenames would be multiple and various.

    - Call a vbscript file from a dos batch file? Can I call a vbscript from a dos batch file? I am creating Windows 2000 and XP unattended installations. The way I have things set up is that I boot the subject computer from a dos based network boot disk. First the user is given the option to choose the Student or Teacher domain. Then the user is given the option to install either XP or 2000. I'd also like the user to be able to enter whatever the end computer's name should be (as a variable I guess). Then a vbscript residing on the appropriate server would be called. That script would read what the computers name is supposed to be, delete an existing account in Active Directory if it exists, and then create the computer account. Is this possible?

    - Need Help with file deployment script I have struggled mightily with this, but it is well beyond my fairly pathetic coding abilities. If someone could please help it would be greatly appreciated. What I have is a program that runs scripts or other executables every 5 seconds. The program will not run the script if there is already 1 instance running, so no worries about multiple instances. What I want is a script that when run, will check C:\Deploy If any files exist in the folder it will move them to C:\Backup \YYYYMMDDHHMMSS It will deploy copies of those files to a list of network destinations \\MM00156\C:\deploy for example Under normal circumstances, 3 folders will be dropped into C:\Deploy There will be any number of files within those folders, and those folder names will be static I need to copy ONLY certain files from within those folders to the network destinations preferably from a list such as C:\Backup\20070221155536\Config\Dbapi.pcs C:\Backup\20070221155536\Junk\Config.ini etc etc etc The files when delivered to the network locations will always be overwriting old files, so would need some sort of overwrite without confirm setting or something. My thinking was that the list could be an array populated from an ini file (I suck at arrays), or could just be listed within the script itself, the list of filenames would never change, so it doesn't really matter. I got as far as being able to create the backup folder, but am really struggling with how to make it not create a backup folder every 5 seconds, and how to copy only the files in my list. Option Explicit Dim N, objFSO, objFolder Dim strDirectory N = Now strDirectory = "C:\Backup\" & ((((Year(N)*100 + Month(N))*100 + Day(N))*100 + Hour(N))*100 + Minute(N))*100 + Second(N) Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory) Permissions would already be set on all folders to allow the necessary operations, so no issues there. Anyway, I'd really like some help on this one if possible Thank you SO much in advance. Jason Tag: How to refresh the start menu? Tag: 203100

    - Script to Delete Internet Cache Files? I am looking for a way to delete the internet cache files via a script, without deleting cookies. I have a website which is being upgraded, and the new version crashes due to old internet cache files that are not refreshed properly. Deleting the cache files corrects the problem, but I want to avoid having each user do this when they access the app after the upgrade, as it will generate a lot of calls for our help desk. IE is already configured to check for new files on every visit to the page, but this is not working in this case. We could simply delete the contents of everyone's temporary internet files, but this would remove their cookies and all their favorite settings would be lost. This would upset some users, and politically be a bad move, so it is not really an option. I was hoping there would be some way to script this so we could delete all of the cache files, excluding offline content and cookies, just like you do from the Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Tag: How to refresh the start menu? Tag: 203097

    - ActiveD I have a logon script that is assigned to all my users through and Active Directory Group Policy that attempts to setup a network drive mapping. If the drive letter is already mapped to another path it removes the mapping first using RemoveNetworkDrive. It then creates the new mapping using MapNetworkDrive. If the correct mapping already exists the script does nothing. At the end of the script I loop through the emumerated drives to verify that the mapping exists and it does, but My problem is that for most users the drive mapping seems to vanish as soon as the script ends. Any ideas why? The script, with some of my debugging still there follows.

    - VBScript/Regex Question Greetings, Example Code: ----------------------------------------------- testString = "<div>Hi there, what's new?</div>" objRegEx.Pattern = "<div>(.*)</div>" objRegEx.Global = true objRegEx.IgnoreCase = true str = objRegEx.Replace(testString, "The results are: $1") ---------------------------------------------- Unless I have something wrong, it appears that $1 is only "returned" by VBScript.

I need to put the value of $1 into a javascript variable and need to escape all of the single quotes, backslashes, newlines, etc. Is there any way I can change the last line to: str = objRegEx.Replace(testString, "The results are:" & replace("$1", "\", "\\'") and also have it work?

    - Creating a directory structure Please forgive my being a novice on the subject of scripting. I have no previous history with any type of coding (except a little HTML). I'm not looking for the solution. I wouldn't ask that of anyone (unless you really want to give it to me). I've been a part of help forums before and I hate it when people have no desire to actually do it themselves. What I am looking for is perhaps a good resource to begin researching the solution. What steps should I be looking to take? Here's what needs to be accomplished: The script needs to read a file (I'm not sure if it's an excel spreadsheet or a text document). In this document is a list of items. The script will need to create a folder with the names in the document. Then, the script needs to also create 10 subfolders with specific names. The names of the subfolders will be the same for all of the main folders. Within those subfolders, there'd be other subfolders, again - identical throughout. The file that the script reads will only provide the names of the main folders. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, TriZz PS: I think my boss has me a bit over my head here. Tag: How to refresh the start menu? Tag: 203075

    - Null Error in Script when Saving Distribution List for Outlook I have a script that loads people into a users outlook contact list. It also creates distribution lists by state and then adds everyone into the appropriate distribution list by state. This runs fine for a while but then fails after about 100 or so people. Here is where it fails: wscript.echo name(i) wscript.echo state(i) wscript.echo j Set currentDistro = objContacts.Items(stateNames(j)) wscript.echo stateNames(j) wscript.echo VbCrLf Set myTempItem = objOutlook.CreateItem(0) Set myRecipients = myTempItem.Recipients myRecipients.Add (name(i) & "-" & state(i)) currentDistro.AddMembers(myRecipients) currentDistro.Save <---- Error occurs on this line, line 141 The output when it fails looks like this: Jane Smith CA 4 CALIFORNIA addCSVtoOutlookTAB.csv(141, 4) (null): Operation aborted <--- from cscript at command line Error Code 80004004 Source (Null) from WSH. It fails at this point EVERY TIME but there is nothing special about this record. Many other people have been successfully added into the CALIFORNIA distribution list, such as Jane Doe CA 4 CALIFORNIA in the output just before Jane Smith. I am confused at what this means.

    - Do...Loop search execution problem Hi- I've patched some code together for a script that will (hopefully) delete an icon when the script detects that the cd the icon is linked to is no longer in the drive. This is part of an HTA file I've created for software support/installation. Problem is that when the script loops that it doesn't actually search again. I've tried playing with the placement of the do...loop stuff but all I've succeeded in doing is getting the "loop without do" error. The rest of the script works great but halfway isn't complete.

    - FSO Issues with Unicode I am having a bit of trouble dealing with HTML files that I am manipulating via VBS. There are hundreds of files that I need to parse for specific text in the tables that may exist on the page. I am using IE to load the file, then enumerating the Tags collection to search for what I want, then deleting the table row where the text is found. Here is where the issue comes up. I need to then save the file using FSO at this point. However, every once in a while there will be an issue with saving a file that causes this error : "Invalid Procedure call or argument" I found this page that explains the issue, an unexpected character in an FSO writeline method. http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/files/directories-fso/why-do-i-get-invalid-procedure-call-or-argument.html If I set the Unicode save option, then all is well. However, the HTML files are part of a Microsoft HTML Workshop project that does not support Unicode, I need to save in plain text, but FSO chokes on about 10 files in a thousand. So I thought I would try using an ADO stream and see where that gets me. But I am having a bit of trouble getting the page from the Instance of IE available to the ADO object. Can someone please give me some pointers on how to get a page loaded in an instance of IE to an ADO stream so I can save the beast ? I have been here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/4ead2a13-de31-487e-b826-53f132f25cbb.asp But it is a bit of a challenge to figure out which information is relevant to MSXML2.XMLHTTP and which is relevant to MSXML2.DomDocument. I seem to be able to load the page using DomDocument with the loadXML method, but the DomDomcument does not support the responseBody method so I can not get the information to the ADO stream. Any and all help is appreciated. TIA TDM Tag: How to refresh the start menu? Tag: 203007

    - How to enable/disable field in an HTA I'm looking for some help on an Hypertext application using vbscipt. We have an HTA that has a check box. By default we want several dialog boxes to be disabled (grayed out) so the user cannot imput data into the fields but if the user selects the check box we want fields to become enabled. If the user unchecks the check box after data has been imputed into the fields we want the fields to be cleared and the dialog boxes to once again become disable. I've got the clearing of the fields down (easy) but I cannot find any reference telling me if it is possible to enable/disable fields and if so, how to do so from within the imbedded VBScript.

    - Script Ends Unexpectedly I have an odd behavior with a script that seems to end when it should not. I had an original that worked 100% yet the new version posted bellow, with a few changes, ends before completing a full loop of the sheet (but always at one of two spots). The changes are marked in comments, and the SubDistrict was added, before that code was not in a Sub. The script reads a couple of Excel cells to gather IP and computer name info, then runs some WMI instructions on it. By all that I can see, it should read the Excel sheet till the field with Site Name = 0 length, but it stops after 151 matches. I ran it 3 times, each time it found 151 matches and stoped looping. The sheet has about 500 matches that should have been read, and about 2200 total rows. There is no orphan EXCEL process so that tells me that the actual script exits where it should, but before it reads the whole sheet. There does not seem to be an issue with the If statements of the sub, as it does work for a few Thanks for any help On Error Resume Next Const FOR_READING = 1 Const ForAppending = 8 Dim IP, IPDialUP, Site, CompName Dim strSerial, strRAM, strPrinterName, strDistrict Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") '**** ADDITION STARTS HERE **** strDistrict = InputBox("Enter your District number.")

    - ProgId and TypeLib puzzlement... I've been playing with the object browser from jsware.net and it's raised a question If I want to reference an object, I can pick its ProgID from the registry, for example, itunes.application, and then create an object reference based on that ProgID, ie Set objITunes = CreateObject("ITunes.application") The registry entry stores a ClassID that is associated with that program, ie {DC0C2640-1415-4644-875C-6F4D769839BA}. If I feed this into the object browser, it returns the Methods, events and properties of ITunes.exe as one might expect. However, if I browse to the ProgID for internetExplorer.Application and get its classID {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, this retrieves the associated program, (Iexplore.exe) but no methods &etc. I realise that the Internet Explorer COM entires are in shdocvw.dll, so I'm puzzled why I can bind successfully with something like Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.application") I think I'm confused, can anyone elaborate :-) Cheers Nick Tag: How to refresh the start menu?

Is there a way to script a refresh of the start menu (including Windows XP
and newer)? Iâ??m using start menu redirection and when my file share (where
the shortcuts are located) goes down and up again, I can refresh my desktop
(which is also redirected) to get my shortcuts back, but for the start menu I
have to kill and restart the explorer process, which isnâ??t the nicest way.
Surely there must be a way to refresh the start menu in another way?

What do you mean by shortcuts goes down/up ?
