    - CreateObject fails in .VBS script file but works in .ASP file ! Hi, I can't instantiate an ActiveX component in a .VBS script file with this code : set myObject = createObject("ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2") This component is used to send mails and it's really an "ActiveX component". I receive the following error message : "Could not create object named ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2" Note that if I run this .vbs with Cscript or WScript I receive the same error message. I also tried to create object with this code : set myObject = Wscript.createObject("ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2") ... the result is the same. But now, if I try exactly the same code in an .ASP page it WORKS !!!!! The only difference is that I use Server.CreateObject (because it's ASP). This means that : - the component is correctly registered (I checked all the entry points with COM explorer) - all the dependencies are present on the system (I think so...) I'm logged on as Administrator, my system is Windows Server 2003 SP1 (x64) I spend two days searching the web and I didn't find the solution, could you please help me ? Thanks a lot !!!

    - How long a user has been logged on for... I know this is far from a new question but I am looking for a way to determine how long a user has been logged on to a remote XP/2003 machine (either logged on locally or remotely via RDP). I know how to get who is logged onto a machine both locally and through RDP sessions so I don't need any help there. I've tried a combination of Win32_LogonSession and Win32_LoggedOnUser but that didn't work. I'm aware that when a user logs on to a machine in a AD environment it updates the "lastLogon" property for their account on the domain controller but there must be something stored locally on the machine. I base my previous comment on the fact that when you open the "Terminal Services Manager" mmc snap-in and connect to a remote machine it lists the currently logged on users, their session type (Console or RDP), their state (Active or Disconnected), idle time, and their Logon Time. I've done some looking and have had no luck finding where "Terminal Services Manager" get's its information from. If it were possible to use the information that is uses then you would have the logon times for the individuals logged on to a specific machine and it would be trivial to determine how long they have been logged on once you have that tidbit of information. Anyone have an idea or where "Terminal Services Manager" gets its information from or if you can interface with "Terminal Services Manager" via vbscript?

    - Why Use Scripting I know here are millions of wonderful uses for automating with scripts (I use login scripts for numerous things) but I have a question regarding the use of scripts to create/delete AD user accounts. All of the scripts I have seen are really plain and simply create a domain account with no properties set. Not even the full name. It seems pointless to use a script like this as I still have to edit the account properties and fill in the blanks. I've also seen none that will create the associated Exchange mailbox. Since we perform a number of tweaks to a new account I had hoped to use scripting to make is simpler and more consistent. I must be missing something. I would envision a script that sets all the default properties for an account (i.e. disables terminal services) and prompts for input like Full Name, Ext, Fax, etc... as well as creating the Exchange mailbox. Is this too complex or am I not finding these scripts in my search of the web? Comments are much appreciated Tag: script for remote desktop Tag: 191095

    - Excel Application.DDEInitiate fails if invoked from VBScript Hi all, I am very new to VBScripting. I have the following situation, I hope someone could help me out. I have to write the code in VBScript to invoke a macro in Excel, which is available as an XLA file. It has to be a VBScript, since a different program decides which macro should be invoked. It would then generate this VBScript file. The user could then download this VBScript and execute on his computer. All the XLA-macros are making some DDE requests, or opening other Workbooks. If I run the macros from VBA, or Excel, they work fine. But if I try to execute the macros from VBScript: * The DDEInitiate() function in the macro returns "0". * Workbooks.open(....) returns "Nothing". - Is there a way to solve these problems ? - Is there a better way to acheive the same solution ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use the following VB Script to open an XLA and execute a macro. Dim objxl, xlapath, macro Set objxl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlapath = "C:\myxla.xla" macro="myxla.xla!macro1(""param1"",""param2"")" With objxl .Visible = True .Workbooks.Open xlapath .Workbooks("myxla.xla").RunAutoMacros 1 'xlAutoOpen .Run macro End With Within the xla-macro, I try to open another workbook. Public Sub macro1(param1 As String, param2 As String) Dim wb As Workbook Dim url As String url = "http://localhost/test.csv" Debug.Print "Attempting to open : " & url Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=url, UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=True, Editable:=False, AddToMru:=False, Format:=1) If wb Is Nothing Then Debug.Print "Could not open the page: " & url else Debug.Print "Successfully opened : " & url End If End Sub Public Sub macro2(service As String, topic As String, request as String) channel = Application.DDEInitiate(service, topic) If channel > 0 Then result = Application.DDERequest(channel, request) Debug.Print "Result of DDE Request: " & TypeName(result) & " Channel: " & channel Application.DDETerminate (channel) Else Debug.Print "DDE failed to initialize."

    - Getting domain information from a machine not in the domain.. Essentially I am trying to come up with a more universal mapping/logon script - even for the laptop users who may be running a script to connect to their domain resources on occasion. The trouble so far has been that all the scripts I have done to check for domain membership and the likes, fail miserably when ran on a machine outside of the domain (not joined to the domain.) I assumed this was because the scripts, unless told, would be trying to communicate with the domain using local credentials - which would undoubtedly fail. In my research I came across a few pages mentioning this, including: http://www.rlmueller.net/NameTranslateFAQ.htm and http://www.scriptinganswers.com/Community/DiscussionForums/tabid/154/view/topic/forumid/6/postid/4108/Default.aspx However - implementing/testing those still gives me the dreaded: "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" "Code: 8007054B" And I am positive the credentials are correct - am positive that I can contact the domain - as I am actually VPN'd into the network at the time and a simple \\domain.com\netlogon at the run prompt (subbing in my actual domain of course) works as expected and asks me for the username/password. I've verified DNS settings, verified everything I can think of is correct. I am likely missing something simple - and I would love if someone here could point out the thing I am missing.. The examples of the code I am using can be found on the pages above (as they will give the same error as my larger script.) -- Shenan Stanley -- Tag: script for remote desktop Tag: 191066

    - scripting vss (check in, check out) from vba (instead of batch files) Is there a way to communicate with VSS from commands in vb or vba to * find out if a file exists in vss * find out if a file is checked out already * check a file out * check a file in * add a file * etc. ? I know you can generate bat files do do some of this stuff, for instance set path=c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\vss\win32 set ssuser=myusername set ssdir=\\myserver\vss\ ss cp $/myproject/mysubfolder ss.exe checkout myfile.vb ss.exe checkout myfile2.vb ss.exe checkin myfile.vb ss status myfile2.vb ss add myfile3.vb etc. but is there a way to issue these commands directly from VBA without having to script out a batch file and resort to shell? Furthermore, how do you get back status of some of these commands? For instance, "ss status myfile3.vb" might return "myfile3.vb myuser Exc 5/04/06 5:11p c:\myproject\mysubfolder" if the file is checked out. "No checked out files found." if the file is in VSS but not checked out "myfile3.vb is not an existing filename or project" if the file is not yet in VSS. At the very least we would need the batch file to generate some kind of output file that VB or VBA code can later read to see if the command went through (kludgey at best), but from the command box if I try to pipe a command to an output file, like ss status myfile2.vb > c:\myfile2_status.txt an empty file gets created (it works for a simple DIR command however) Is there any good example of vb directly sending commands to vss and getting back status messages? Any help appreciated... Tag: script for remote desktop Tag: 191054

    - Debugging VBscript in embedded browsers I know how to debug a vbscript running in an HTML page being displayed in Internet Explorer. But what if IE is not stand alone, bur rather it is embedded in another application? When the script hits an error, all I get is an error notification, but not the option to open the debugger. Is there a setting I, as the end user, can change in the embedded browser, or is it up to the application developer to allow this? Thanks! Carlos Tag: script for remote desktop Tag: 191051

    - Pre-setting print driver options Trying to set up a USB label printer through a Citrix session to a 2003 terminal server. I need to preset default form-to-tray assignment, the paper size, print density, and also write the printer name to an INI file. The problem: the printer name changes each time you log on. The name that MS creates for this is nasty - and example is "lp (on SOT5912) in session 39" The part "SOT5912" is the machine name, should be static for each station, but the session number, "39", changes EVERY time you log onto the server. I've tried "setprinter", but it doesn't have the proper settings and switches for my needs. I know it is not too hard to get the printer name - search for one that starts with characters "lp (on ", and use it. Presetting the needed driver settings is the real pain. I found the registry settings that need to be changed, but I need help. The setting that needs to be changed or inserted is in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModes2. The name for the binary vaue is the printer name, it's the binary data needed that is my main problem. Here is an example, truncated at line 11 - the rest is all nuls, like the last line: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser] "lp (from SIS5029) in session 5"=hex:6c,00,70,00,20,00,28,00,66,00,72,00,6f,00,\ 6d,00,20,00,53,00,49,00,53,00,35,00,30,00,32,00,39,00,29,00,20,00,69,00,6e,\ 00,20,00,73,00,65,00,73,00,73,00,69,00,6f,00,6e,00,20,00,35,00,00,00,00,00,\ 01,04,00,05,dc,00,34,02,43,ef,81,07,01,00,c9,00,79,03,16,01,64,00,01,00,0f,\ 00,2c,01,01,00,01,00,2c,01,02,00,01,00,33,00,30,00,32,00,35,00,36,00,20,00,\ 53,00,68,00,69,00,70,00,70,00,69,00,6e,00,67,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,\ 00,00,00,02,00,00,00,01,01,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,44,49,4e,55,22,00,00,00,34,02,00,00,3c,61,11,dc,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ The hex data up to the 20th character on line 3 (0x35) is the printer name, truncated at 30 characters, and separated by 00. The rest of the data is static, and represents the needed printer settings. Anyone work with something like this before? My thoughts, I need a script to pull the appropriate printer name, create the hex data from the name with the 00 between letters, add the rest of the string as a pre-defined string, write the 2 needed registry entries. I have another registry entry to add to, but if I can get help with this hex entry, the rest of what I need will be EASY. Been working too long on this, trying to find the needed areas in the registry and verifying what was needed. Can someone help with the script?

Some of the exe uses both stdout and stderr and i have a loop to capture both stream Do Until oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream And oExec.StdErr.AtEndOfStream And oExec.Status <> 0 wscript.echo "in loop" If Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Then sText = oExec.StdOut.ReadLine If len(sText) > 0 Then StdOutLog sText End If End If If Not oExec.StdErr.AtEndOfStream Then sText2 = oExec.StdErr.ReadLine If len(sText2) > 0 Then StdErrLog sText2 End If End If Loop The problem is StdOut.AtEndOfStream will read past the buffer and hangs. This only happens with executables that write to both stdout and stderr. Anyone else had the same problem and is there any way to resolve it? Tag: script for remote desktop Tag: 191020

    - Need help making script more efficient I have the following script to take Large_Logfile and split it up into several Smaller_Logfiles. Its very crude and could use some help so Im posting it here to see what you all can suggest. The purpose behind doing this may also be relivant(sp). What I am doing is taking a txt file of PC names and I have a Script we are running against that list to gather back information. If the PC Names list has alot of PC's in it it takes hours to run. What I want todo is split up the PC Names file into several smaller files and then run the script against all the smaller files at the same time to speed up the process. So far its cut the time down alot, the current state of the script is probably really raw and could use some assistance hence me posting it here. Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    - Creating AD users from Excel help Hey, I found this script on the internet to import users from an excel spreadsheet, and using LDAP, create accounts in AD. The script works fine if all the cells in the spreadsheet contain some type of data. However, in the speadsheet that I need to use, there are a lot of blank fields. I realize that the problem lies with the line; Do Until objExcel.Cells(intRow,1).Value = "" but I don't know how to modify it enough to allow the script to pass over blank cells and not stop. I've tried adding a ~ as the value for the above line and made that the last entry in the excel spreadsheet, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

A quick diagnostic has shown that it would work fine if the format was 2006-02-06 00:00:00 - sadly though it's not! How can I get cdate to accept the date in its current format?

I need help with a vbscript to be able to query a fixed list of
computers on the network if there are any user logged on thru remote
desktop connections and return a result if the computers are logged on
or not. As the file and print sharing had been disabled on those
computers, so those scripts that I got (using Win32_ComputerSystem etc)
are not able to work. Scripts that ping to those computers also doesn't
give accurate results, as I'll still get connected results even if no
user is log on but the PC is power up.

is there any way to do up a vbscript to query like event logs etc for
checking if there's any user logged on?

Thanks!
