    - ntfs permission I am in the process to trying to come up with a script for look at access right of particular user or group. what is the best way I ma aware of file system objects, and somehow I guess I can use cacls or equivalent and iterate folders, files. for a given folder and its contents, if the permissions are inherited by its files and subdirectories, I prefer not to list its files and subdirectories but only exceptions or is there already such scripts out there from Microsoft or whatever that there is no point of me re-inventing from scratch?

    - password protection I am writing a website using .asp with an Access Database backside. I have a login process to access the database/website. I was wondering if there is either a way in Access or VBScript to enforce exact passwords. Right now it doesn't care if the password has upper case or lower case letters.

    - connect to network drive I have used this batch file format in the past to connect to network drives. Even people who are under two different server clients, ie. Novell and Windows Active Directory (AD). For some reason this time it is not authenticating the user name. Just some background so you might be able to understand what the problem is.. User in different location and a Novell client but has access to AD. For performance, the application was placed at the same location but on an AD server. The "aa/" d user domain may be different then the server. The IP addresses for the two locations start with different #'s. Does that matter? Also the users are part of a group and have a generic password set for the whole list of users. net use y: /d net use y: \\XXX.XX.XXX.XX\Folder /user:aa\dez1 P@ssword any insight would be great. thanks Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194995

Remove e-mail address number 1, and move each e-mail address 1 step up the ladder. !!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!! BE SURE THAT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS YOU USE IS THE SAME AS YOU USED TO SIGN UP AT PAYPAL. Remember that this is LEGAL. You are creating a service : an e-mail servicelist. STEP 4 : UPLOAD OR COPY THIS MESSAGE TO NEWSGROUPS, FORUMS ETC AND EMAIL IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS! There are 32,000 newsgroups. Upload or copy this message to at least 200 newsgroups or forums etc, but ........ remember that the more your upload the more people will see your message and the MORE MONEY WILL FLOW IN. How to upload to newsgroups and forums? : After you have followed step 1,2,3 and 4, save this message (and copy so you can use it again).

Those 5 people will each send at least 200 messages with your e-mailadres on number 4. That's 6 x 6 x $1 = $36. The next 25 people will also send 200 messages with your adres on number 3. That's 36 x 6 x $1 = $216. The next 216 people also send 200 messages with your name on number 2. That's 216 x 6 x $1 = $1296!. Those 1296 people again also send 200 messages with your name on number 1. That will give us a total of 1296 x 6 x $1 = $7,776. Now the last tier! 7776 x 6 x $1 = $46,656!!!!!! This is only a EXAMPLE with 6 reactions. You WILL get MORE responses than that. Remember that most newsservers will leave the posted messages on there servers for about 2 weeks. If you will post your message again, it WILL again start from the beginning. So you can repeat this over and over again. Everyday MILLIONS of people are ONLINE and reading these messages, JUST LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW. I also was sceptical in the beginning and have read a lot of these messages. I also thought that it was bullshit. Until I thought : What the hell!, only $6. What's $6 and a couple of minutes of my time to solve my money problems. !!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! Follow every step, and IT WILL WORK, TRUST ME. !!!!! !!!!! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK !!!!! w)O>+;)<9UVS;F>qaGL<Uq#v`V6(F]- rM;$g+!4IIQ*827?H4 Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194979

I don't believe that cmd.exe will be involved at all for some ways that you script could be started. i.e wscript scriptname.vbs <some arguments> from start/run will just start wscript.exe directly. It sounds to me that you need to re-think what you are trying to achieve here or perhaps explain a little more of your reasoning for wanting to get at %cmdcmdline% - perhaps then someone can come up with an alternative approach. -- VS Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194976

    - Creating new reg key, but default value is messed up. I have a script changes some snmp community settings on our servers. It deletes the existing key, creates a new one and populates it with our new traps. Only problem is that when it creates the new key, the default vaule looks wrong. It gets assigned a value instead of the (no value).. its not causing any issues, but was wondering if anyone found better syntax than what I am using to create a new key..

    - File permissions Hi! :) Until now I've used SetAcl.exe for setting permissions but I would like to learn to do it by myself now. (SetAcl.exe works fine for most things but a lot of the time you have to map a drive for it to work over the network though it sais it should work with UNC paths and then there's the problem with having to bring the exe file whereever you go...) Any tips on where I can find information om how to set permissions with only vbs and what's built into the os'es? I think I searched on it a while back but only found bad sites without examples.

    - Batch file or VB script for more automated USMT? I have created individual batch files for scanstate and loadstate where I edit them for each user. I have to manually change the user name, manually change the file name of the batch files I create for each user, and manually name the share name and location where each user's data is saved. Is there a way to make this much easier, such as a batch file or VB script that simply prompts you for the user name and the site (user name entered at the prompt then being used to automatically choose the username for scan state and load for loadstate, as well as create/name a directory based on user name to store the USMT data. Site name entered would determine from what location scanstate and load state executables would run and where the data files would be saved so that it always saves the data to the local site of the user rather than across a WAN). Basically I want an interface that is very simple and prompts: Are you collecting data from the old PC or loading data to the new PC? (A or B) Which site? (4 choices) What is the user name? The person running the tool should only need to run the tool, enter the answers to those 3 prompts. They would run it from the old PC to collect the data, wait for the data to be saved to the network share, then run it at the new computer to load the data. It would great if it at least show a message saying loadstate or scanstate is in progress and then show when completed sucessfully. I doubt I could be the first person to think of this, so maybe something like this has already beeen created or else can someone help with this? Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194940

Anyhow...I wrote a ADSI script that automates the creation of distribution groups. Sometimes users provide illegal or unsupported characters for the name of the group so I need to escape the characters in order to Put the distinguished name of the object. Most likely the name that is provided will only have one of these characters. I just don't understand the matches object well enough to use firstindex, etc...Here is some sample code I have. Thanks for any help provided. strData = "my+test?hel>lo" Set regEx = New RegExp regEx.Pattern = "\+|\?|\>" regEx.IgnoreCase = True regEx.Global = True Set Matches = regEx.Execute(strData) For Each match In matches StringToReplace = regEx.Replace(strData, "\" & match.value) Next Set regEx = Nothing WScript.Echo StringToReplace Output: my\>test\>hel\>lo Intended Output: my\+test\?hel\>lo Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194938

    - Using Run to access Start Is there a way to use WScript.Shell's Run method to invoke Start? The reason is that I want to get ahold of a pseudo-hidden environment variable, %cmdcmdline%. For example, if (on Win XP) at the Cmd window you type: SET XY=%cmdcmdline% SET you will see how that cmd window was invoked (simply typing echo %cmdcmdline% might lead to odd results). Start has the characteristic, that it will preserve the environment variable settings. Thus, if at the Cmd window you type: START cmd.exe SET XYZ=%cmdcmdline% SET you'll see that the results are the same as for the original Cmd window. That is why I would like to be able to use CreateObject('WScript.Shell')->Run to invoke Start. However, Run seems not to know about Start. Any ideas? Or perhaps someone has a better method? I've tried Set aEnv=CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Environment("Process") then aEnv('cmdcmdline'), aEnv('=cmdcmdline'), and friends without success.

    - move program window location after opening I would like to open a program window, example the command prompt and move its location on the screen. I would like to move it to the left corner or right corner of the screen. I can use the RUN command to execute the program - but it opens at any location on the screen, I need to force it to open on the left hand or right hand corner - fixed location every time the vbscript is run. Thanks in advance. Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194882

    - Script checks for computer membership in group I am new to scripting and I am trying to figure out how to do the following: Have a login script check to see if the computer running the script is a member of a specific group. If it is, then do one thing. If not, then do something else. I am using VBScript to map drives based the users group membership but I am not sure how to check the computer group membership. Any advice? F. Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194881

    - Help with Permission Denied Hi Folks, Need a hand here. I just got a new Car Stereo that takes SD cards, but the file format is WAY different than what Windows Media player synchs to the cards. I'm trying to read a .m3u playlist file and take each song and copy it to the SD card in a 8 character folder name of the play list. I keep getting "Permission Denied" errors. The music lives on a server in my house and I'm attempting to copy mp3 over the network to my SD card local to my client by double clicking on the .vbs file. Here is the script so far: (PS, it's not optimized, or cleaned up) ------ Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim PlayListName Dim SFNPlayListName Dim PlayListFile Dim SDCardDrive ' Changable Playlist Options PlayListName = "Driving Trax" PlayListFile = "\\server\Music\Playlists\Driving.m3u" SFNPlayListName = "DRVNG" SDCardDrive = "G:" 'Check to see if the target exists, if it does, delete it DestDir = SDCardDrive & "\" & SFNPlayListName If objFSO.FolderExists(DestDir) Then Set DelFolder = objFSO.GetFolder (DestDir) DelFolder.Delete End If 'Re create the folder and prep for copy Set MakeFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(DestDir) Const ForReading = 1 Set plFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(PlayListFile, ForReading) Do Until plFile.AtEndOfStream txtLine = plFile.ReadLine If Len(txtLine) <> 0 Then If Left(txtLine, 1) <> "#" Then 'Wscript.Echo ("Copy " & txtLine & " to " & DestDir) If ObjFSO.FileExists(txtLine) Then Set ws = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell") ObjFSO.CopyFile txtLine, DestDir ' Permission Denied here! End If End If End If Loop plFile.close Wscript.Quit ----- I labelled the line I get permission denied on, I can't for the life of me figure out why, because if I take the commented "echo" line and copy and paste it into a CMD window, it works fine. Moreover, if I replace that permission denied line with: Call ws.run("cmd.exe /c copy " & Chr(34) & txtLine & Chr(34) & " " & DestDir & "\") It works fine (although it opens up about 80 CMD windows and freezes explorer until the copy is complete). Any idea why I'm getting permission denied here? Does the WSH block access to copy files (I was able to delete above?!?) or something? Thanks for the help!

    - Permissions needed to query ROOT\MicrosoftExchangeV2? I have a script that queries mailboxes using: strComputer = ExchServer Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & _ "\ROOT\MicrosoftExchangeV2") ...but it is failing on GetObject with "permission denied". What permissions do I need to query MicrosoftExchangeV2? I've already given it full access on MicrosoftExchangeV2 via the WMI CPL. I've also made it an Exchange Admin. The only way I can get it to successfully query is making it a Domain Admin or Local Admin of the Exchange server. Thanks Trevor Tag: How to restore all active windows Tag: 194867
