    - wmi property Below is a script to check if a LAN cables is plugged in. I run the script on XP and it works great. I found out when running on a Windows 2000 box I get an error. It appears that there are additional wmi properties. Does anyone know if there is a WMI update or download to WMI for Windows 2000? I am not sure what version of WMI is installed otherwise, I would have posted. ' connect to WMI and retrieve collection.

    - Problem with TargetPath while creating desktop shortcut My problem is this. Iam trying to create a shortcut for a Client Access session (.ws file).

    - Setting permissions on a folder tree Hi all, I'm hoping to get some help from someone who knows this stuff better than I... I need to set permissions on all of the files and folders in a directory tree. I would guess that this is the sort of thing that I need WMI to do, but I always get lost trying to figure out how to deal with WMI. I want to set this permission set on the root folder, whose path is stored in a string variable: Administrators: Full control Authenticated users: Read and Execute I want to recursively set all of the contents of the root folder to inherit privileges from their parent folder.

    - diskpart Is there a way in VBScripting to perform the same function as diskpart? Or is there a way to scan a formatted document and pull the value from a line? I can take diskpart and output its "Disk List" command to a text document but it goes in as one line with characters to delineate the lines and fields. If I use wordpad I can read it correctly but I need to then save it to a text document to loose the formatting. -- Andrew C.

    - logon script, username and registry edit I'm trying to modify a registry key in HKLM to receive the value of the currently logged on user (%username%). I need this to run as part of the normal user logon script...whether it is embedded in the current script or called separately. My logon script is simply a *.bat file that synchronizes the time, maps some drives and copies files to the local machine. I'm not a scripter so I tried Scriptomatic and Tweakomatic with similar (negative) results. The key in question is a string value. I'm running a W2K3 domain if this matters. Thanks!

I've been trying to put together a script which when run will create an e-mail message and attach all the files residing in a specific folder.

I originally produced the script with just a single attachment and this was fine but upon inserting the code to look to add all the files in the 'emailfolder' location then the error appeared.

    - string array initial value assignment I searched on line help but I did not see anything about assigning string literals en mass to an array. is there such construct like Dim mystrs() mystrs = {"element1", "ele2", "e3"} instead of something devious ; like Const YEAR_NAME = "year" Const MONTH_NAME = "month" Const DAY_NAME = "day" YEARRef = "?<" & YEAR_NAME & ">" MONTHRef = "?<" & MONTH_NAME & ">" DAYRef = "?<" & DAY_NAME & ">" YEARPart = "$(" & YEAR_NAME & ")" MONTHPart = "$(" & MONTH_NAME & ")" DAYPart = "$(" & DAY_NAME & ")" Const DatePart_yy = "(1[7-9]|[23][0-9])[0-9][0-9]" Const DatePart_y = "d{2}" DatePart_Year = DatePart_yy & "|" & DatePart_y ' "(([1[7-9])|([23][0-9])){0,1}[0-9][0-9]|[0-9][0-9]" Const DatePart_mmm = "JAN|FEB|MAR|APR|MAY|JUN|JUL|AUG|SEP|OCT|NOV|DEC|JANUARY|FEBRUARY|MARCH|APRIL|MAY|JUNE|JULY|AUGUST|SEPTEMBER|OCTOBER|NOVEMBER|DECEMBER" Const DatePart_m = "10|11|12|0{0,1}[1-9]" DatePart_Month = DatePart_mmm & "|" & DatePart_m Const DatePart_d = "31|30|0{0,1}[1-9]|[12][0-9]" DatePatrn_d = "(" & DAYRef & DatePart_d & ")" DatePatrn_mmm = "(" & MONTHRef & DatePart_mmm & ")" DatePatrn_m = "(" & MONTHRef & DatePart_m & ")" DatePatrn_month = "(" & MONTHRef & DatePart_mmm & "|" & DatePart_m & ")" DatePatrn_y = "(" & YEARRef & DatePart_y & ")" ' 19 something thru 30xx DatePatrn_yy = "(" & YEARRef & DatePart_yy & ")" DatePatrn_year = "(" & YEARRef & DatePart_Year & ")" '0 m/d/Year '1 M d, Y '2 d mmm yy '3 y-M-d '4 y.M.d '5 yy/m/d DATE_PatternsString = "(" & DatePatrn_m & "/" & DatePatrn_d & "/" & DatePatrn_year & ")(?=\s)#" & _ "\b(" & DatePatrn_Month & " " & DatePatrn_d & ", " & DatePatrn_year & ")(?= )#" & _ "\b(" & DatePatrn_d & " " & DatePatrn_mmm & " " & DatePatrn_Year & ")(?=\s)#" & _ "\b(" & DatePatrn_Year & "-" & DatePatrn_Month & "-" & DatePatrn_d & ")(?=\s)#" & _ "\b(" & DatePatrn_Year & "\." & DatePatrn_Month & "\." & DatePatrn_d & ")(?=\s)#" & _ "\b(" & DatePatrn_yy & "/" & DatePatrn_m & "/" & DatePatrn_d & ")(?=\s)" Dim DATE_Patterns DATE_Patterns = Split("\b" &DATE_PatternsString, "#") the 1st form does not work for vbscript ( I don't think it work for VB.net either.

    - How to change permissions on folders Hello , Is there anybody out there : that has experience on changing the persmissions on folders using vbscript ? The reason I am asking this : I need to make script that puts the permission on a folder for user to read/write. At this stage the user can only view docs but he can't change anything. I know there is something like ' xcals.exe ' but I must I don't have any experience and I don't know if I can trust it because the script need to be run on a domain with a 1000 pc's on it.So I need to be sure that everything works perfectly.

    - Render Reporting services report with Soap toolkit and vbscript/jscript Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with a problem. I'm trying to use the Web Service in Microsoft Reporting Services to generate a report to PDF on a file share. I'm using server side vbscript (or jscript) to do this, and using Microsoft Soap Toolkit 3.0 to access the Web Service. I have made a start on the vbscript (see below), and have an RSS scripting batch file to work from to build the rest of the script. Most of this batch file script looks straightforward to convert. However my problem is more to do with knowing how to make soap calls, in particular to create a variable of a datatype that (I'm assuming) is not available on the client but on the server where RS is installed. In this case I need to create variables of type ParameterValue in the vbscript, as shown in the RSS file. How do I do this? With some sort of soap call? e.g. is it along the lines of: dim parameters (2) = rs.CreateParameterDataTypes() . . results = rs.Render(reportPath, format, historyID, deviceInfo, parameters, Nothing, Nothing, encoding, mimeType, nothing, warnings, streamIDs) Would really appreciate some help. Thanks Greg -------------------- vbscript as it exisits --------------------- Option Explicit Dim rs, items, item Set rs = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient30") CALL rs.MSSoapInit("http://sv01/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx?wsdl","","","") rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSS scripting batch file - values inn upper case are global strings passed into the script -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '#### Example Values of Variables ' Dim format as string = "PDF" ' Dim fileName as String = "C:\Reportd\yyyy.pdf" ' Dim reportPath as String = "/CNSOfficeSystem/Quote" '#### Create and initialise variables Dim ParamSplitStr as string = "," ' Typically FILEFORMAT is "PDF" Dim format as string = FILEFORMAT Dim fileName as String = OUTPUTFILE Dim reportPath as String = RPATH Dim ReportParamNames() as String = REPORTPARAMETERNAMES.Split(ParamSplitStr) Dim ReportParamValues() as String = REPORTPARAMETERVALUES.Split(ParamSplitStr) '#### Prepare Render arguments Dim historyID as string = Nothing Dim deviceInfo as string = Nothing Dim showHide as string = Nothing Dim results() as Byte Dim encoding as string Dim mimeType as string Dim warnings() AS Warning = Nothing Dim reportHistoryParameters() As ParameterValue = Nothing Dim streamIDs() as string = Nothing '#### Report Parameters into Array Dim parameters(ReportParamNames.GetUpperBound(0)) As ParameterValue For idx As Integer = 0 To ReportParamNames.GetUpperBound(0) parameters(idx) = New ParameterValue() parameters(idx).Name = ReportParamNames(idx) parameters(idx).Value = ReportParamValues(idx) Next idx '#### Render Report results = rs.Render(reportPath, format, historyID, deviceInfo, parameters, Nothing, Nothing, encoding, mimeType, reportHistoryParameters, warnings, streamIDs) '#### Open a file stream and write out the report Dim stream As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(filename) stream.Write(results, 0, results.Length) stream.Close() Tag: remove a remote pcs specific printer Tag: 180534

    - Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Loop through W2K machines I have knocked up a script to retrieve IP info from an array of machines. It works fine as long as every machine is Windows 2003 or Windows XP, but if there is anything of an earlier OS in the array the results are repeated. So for an array with 3 W2k machines (or NT with WMICORE installed) every PC / Server will produce the same results. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    - MSHTA.EXE orphaned when HTA is closed I read several threads on the NET regarding a situation where MSHTA.EXE would become orphaned when the HTA is closed. In that thread there was a reply from a Michael Harris (MVP) indicating that the behavior stems from the use of WshShell.Run statements. According to Mike, calling RUN breaks the modal nature of the event handlers making the mshta UI closable when the RUN method is still waiting but when the UI cloes the mshta.exe process gets orphaned and never terminates. I too have seen this behavior in an HTA I am writing that uses WshShell.Run statements and I believe that I may have a solution that works providing that the user terminated the HTA through a button on the HTA itself. Here is what I was able to put together: Sub Stop_OnClick() Dim strComputer,objWMIService,colProcessList,ObjProcess strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'mshta.exe'",,48) For Each objProcess in colProcessList if Instr(objProcess.commandLine,"xxxxxxxx.HTA") then objProcess.Terminate() End If Next End Sub In the above all the developer need to do is replace xxxxxxxx.HTA with the case-sensitive name of the HTA being executed. The code then finds its own process and kills itself. Hope this helps someone. Enjoy..... Tag: remove a remote pcs specific printer Tag: 180495

Your best bet is to run the script through a GPO (Group Policy Object) -
Logon Script:

Option Explicit
Dim strComputer, objWMIService, colItems, WshNetwork, objItem

strComputer ="."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer")
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

On Error Resume Next

For Each objItem In colItems
If objItem.Name = "PRINTER NAME" Then
WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection objItem.DeviceID, True, True
End If
Next
Set WshNetwork = Nothing
Set colItems = Nothing
Set objWMIService = Nothing
WScript.Quit
