    - 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!

    - sheet protection in excel with editable range Hi, I've created a script to enumerate critical security groups (Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, etc etc) in Active Directory for manager review on a regular basis. Since this is a control we're putting in place for SOX compliance, one of the specifications was that the data in the report be unalterable. I was able to get protection working but I've got a new feature request for a editable "comments" column for the managers to use during their review. I can't seem to get the Sheet.Protection.AllowEditRange.Add functionality to work.

    - Drag folder onto script to get folder's path I'm a newbie to scripting, so please be gentle.

The script puts the full name + path into the Windows clipboard. I can't figure out how to modify the script so that I could right click on a folder (instead of a file), in order to get the folder's path reported into the Windows clipboard. I'd appreciate any tips on: [1] how to modify the script, and [2] where I could find documentation that would show me how to modify the script / to give me more info to help me understand your answer about how to modify the script.

    - E-Mail Attachment Script Problem Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide with this query. 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. However, currently I'm getting an error and was hoping for some insight and suggestions. The script looks like this .... Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem) Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set myfolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\emailfolder\") Set myfiles = myfolder.files myItem.Subject = "This is the Subject" Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("myemail@myemail.co.uk") Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments For Each MyFile in MyFiles myAttachments.Add files(MyFile.Name), olByValue Next myItem.Display I get a scripting error on Line: 10, Char: 3, Error: Type mismatch: 'files' which I'm assuming is referring to the files(MyFile.Name) section of the script. 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.

    - 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.

    - 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: rookie needs help Tag: 180495

    - logon script for desktop shortcuts Greetings, I'm looking for a simple vbscript that I can run when the user logs on to the network (applied through GPO) to ensure that My Documents, My computer, my network places, Recycle Bin, and Internet Explorer shortcuts are present on the desktop. Every time when I format a machine and install a clean copy of Win xp, I have to log on for every user, right click on the desktop, choose Dekstop tab, and enable these shortcuts to show on the desktop. Any help is appreicated. Thanks. Tag: rookie needs help Tag: 180489

    - Need to change user account mid-script I need to run a process as the local system account (this script is scheduled via the at command, by the way) and then mid-stream, jump to impersonating the logged on user. The reason for doing this is I need to copy a file generated by the SYSTEM account to a network share. Since the machine doesn't have delegation enabled in AD, it cannot copy as the system account. I can't delegate the machine. Thanks, Trevor Tag: rookie needs help Tag: 180483

    - Script for shortcut to mapped drives on desktop Hello Group, I'm a little new to scripting and am asking for some help writing a script. What I would like to do is to create a logon script for users in a windows 2003 domain running XP on the desktops that would place a shortcut to their mapped network drives on the desktop. So each user would have three mapped drives, 1 for their home folder, 1 for the public folder and another drive for an apps folder. So basically when a user logs into the domain the script will place shortcuts to thesed mapped drives on the desktop regardless of what PC they log into. We are using roaming profiles. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: rookie needs help Tag: 180455
