    - Help with File System Object I am presently pulling information from a specific text file that has to be on a floppy (don't ask why...I gave up asking why a long time ago). The application takes the info from the file stores it in a session array and all is good from there. I'm trying to figure a 'nice' way of error trapping and alerting the user that he hasn't put the disk in or that the file isn't there etc. I have limited experience with the FileSystemObject so that's why I'm turning here. I'd like to alert the user that they have not yet put the disk in and not let them go on until the correct disk with the correct file is in their drive. Anyone have any similar code or can point me in a good direction? Pejo Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145544

    - wmi scriptomatic - run time error at line 90 Apologies for any cross posting. I'm having trouble with scriptomatic on my XP Pro box. I run "scriptomatic.hta" and get a very small window (title bar only) and then get this error in a dialog: Line: 90 Char: 4 Error: The object invoked has disconnect from its clients. Code: 0 URL: file://C:\Documents and Settings\msabia\Local Settings\Temp\scriptomatic.hta Do you wan to continue running scripts on this page? The window never becomes populated. If I maximize the window, I get the 4 buttons but no pull down. I've tried some of the other posted solutions for problems with scriptomatic, but they don't seem to help. I have no pop-up blocker running. It works fine on another XP Pro box (which I don't have regular access to) Any ideas? Thank you!

    - Getting info from a Registry Entry. Hey People, Here's the situation, I have made a VB script regarding some profile relative settings on a client. However we thought it might be interesting to get the script only to run if a surten entry on the registry is 1.1 for instance. so basically I made a key under HKCU/Software/Companyname/Profile "0" So Default the key would be zero. Now when Im in the VB script I cant seem to find a way to get that actual key into an IF construction. so this is what I want: IF registryentry is 0 THEN Run script and at the end create registry entry 1.1 (the creating an entry inst a problem), and with that a line IF registryentry is 1.1 THEN stop te script all together.. Can someone help me out here.. thnx in advance! Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145532

    - VBScript to search external LDAP I am trying to write a VBScript that will search an external UNIX directory based on a person's last name and first name. I currently have a script that can search for the user's login id and give me the first and last name: --Begin Script-- CONST ADS_NO_AUTHENTICATION = &H0010 CONST ADS_SERVER_BIND = &H0200 sLDAPsrv = "ldap.server.edu" sLDAPsb = "ou=people,o=server.edu" sCN = InputBox("Enter UNIX ID:") sRoot = "LDAP://" & sLDAPsrv & "/uid=" & sCN & "," & sLDAPsb sDN = "cn=" & sCN & "," & sLDAPsb Set oDSP = GetObject("LDAP:") Set oUser = oDSP.OpenDSObject(sRoot,vbNullString,vbNullString,ADS_SERVER_BIND AND ADS_NO_AUTHENTICATION) oUser.GetInfo strName = oUser.givenName strLast = oUser.sn MsgBox strName MsgBox strLast wscript.Quit --End Script-- That works great, but I am unable to determine how to search for the last and first name using the same methods and get the uid. I have searched everywhere I can think, but most of what I find is either exclusive to AD or exclusive to UNIX. Help? Thanks in advance, Dan Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145530

    - adding and deleting printers Ok I'm trying to get my scripts to work and it's just not. I do have the one for adding a printer working but for deleting is a different story. Here is my adding a printer script. (It works) Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\tpl\plu1" WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\tpl\plu1" Here is my deleting script. Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection "\\tpl\plu1" The deleting script runs with no errors but the printer stays. What I would like to do is use the add printer script as logon scripts so that when a user logs on they get the correct printer. If I don't have a deleting printer script run as a log off script will it screw up the next time the user logs on and keep adding printers and does anyone know why my deleting printer script doens't work?

    - script scheduling in AD environment? Okay Folks: Sir twitch a lot here is going bonkers yet again. Here is this little script I pulled out of the Microsoft Windows 2000 scripting guide. strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem") For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems objOperatingSystem.shutdown() Next Fine, fire this vbs puppy up and pooft, the computer shuts off. Which is exactly what I wanted. Now what I want to do is schedule this puppy via organizational units to apply to certain machines. Problem is that we have a bunch of users who love to leave their computers on all night, burn out monitors and occasionally fry their computers because of electrical activities in the area. Okay, so I figured that a nice .bat file along the lines of this at.exe 21:00 every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su \\servername\sharename\shutdown.vbs I figure this would solve the problem but it's a bit cumbersome. Does anybody know of a way to incorporate the equivalent of an "AT" command that would fire up at the computer startup so that the machine would know that, hey, I need to shut myself down at XX:XX hours. The best thing to do, ultimately, and I likely have a script for it somewhere, is that the machines would magically turn themselves up. I am shooting here for something that will work on the organizational unit level, any suggestions, comments or prayers??? Regards, Walt Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145420

    - Form Sleep I have been searching for an answer to the problem I've been having with a form. I have an HTML file that I load via a VBScript that is being used to copy CDs to a network drive. The user will enter the year and the CD number in the form. Then VBScript creates a folder based on the information entered and copies the CD to it.

    - How do you check the current CURSOR TYPE (not in IE)? Hi everyone, I did a lot of google searches, and came up with nothing. Most of the links were related to changing the cursor type in IE, or getting the Cursor handle in VB. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of getting the current cursor type; I am checking to see if it's an hourglass. Reason: I am using keyboard shortcuts to save to a file in an Application, and I am loading the saved file in an XMLDOM, but I can't do that till it's been saved. Monitoring file creation requires a separate thread; I thought it would be easier to check whether the current cursor is an hourglass. A solution would be much appreciated...

    - Functions calling Functions We switch database vendors without changing every .asp page of a web by calling a custom VBScript function. The function takes the specific database name as its single arguement and returns a complete OLE connection string for that database. Thus, a single file (the function) only needs editing to switch from one database (eg SQL Server) to another (eg: ORACLE). Other VBScript custom functions in the web also require database connection(s). How do they use the same function to create their connection string(s)? Example: In the .asp we have ...  <% 'Script: Dim cnnActive Dim strOLEDB ... Set cnnActive = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection") strOLEDB = OLEDBString("Active") cnnActive.Open strOLEDB ... %> Here's the function: <% Function OLEDBString(strDB) '>>> '>>> Create the OLEDB connection string for the customer database '>>> Here, use the Microsoft Access JET OLEDB v4 '>>> 'Create the link with the [strDB] database OLEDBString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" OLEDBString = OLEDBString & "Data Source=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\VManager\databases\" OLEDBString = OLEDBString & strDB & ".mdb;" OLEDBString = OLEDBString & "User ID=admin; Password=;" End Function %> Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145404

    - mapnetworkdrive problem I am using the mapnetworkdrive method to map drives for users during logon. I changed a drive mapping for a user and it is mapping to the new location but the windows explorer name shows the old path. When you look at the properties or try and disconnect the drive it does give you the correct NEW path but the explorer view has the old path listed. The user has rebooted and still no luck. Is there some way to refresh the name when changin the path to a mapped network drive. Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145402

    - Outllook Macro warning and one-off forms... I have an Outlook folder full of contacts that use a custom contact form. One of these items occasionally becomes one-offed. I have a VBscript that loops through all the contacts and does some processing. When it attempts to access the contact via code similiar to this For each thing in Directory.Items temp = thing.homeaddress NOTE: I don't ever actually open the item I'm looking at, I just use the Thing.fieldname notation to access the data. I get the "Do you wish to enable macros" dialog box. This causes my script to just sit there until someone hits yes or no (Which might take days). So I need a workaround that would allow my script to run un-attended. 1) Is there anyway to supress the enable macros dialog box for one-offed items? 2) Is there anyway to open an item with its macros disabled? 3) Can I check the messageclass of an item without trigging the dialog box? Any help would be much appreciated! -J Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145398

    - Progres window Hi, I am using oShell.run command_line,0,true but I want to display possibly a IE progress window while the command line is running so i'm thinking I can do something like: Do until return = 0 IE progress window (how?) return = oShell.run command_line,0,true Loop I can see two problems with the above: I'm thinking that return = oShell.run command_line,0,true will not execute until the IE progress window is running and I also don't know how to invoke the progress window. Could someone direct me to online info about using progress windows while some process is running? I would also appreciate a code example or better approach if not too much trouble.

    - Check CD-R disk status Hello, Can someone tell me how to check if a blank unformatted CD-R is present in the drive and if not blank then if there are any files written on it? I tried checking readiness using IsReady and checking presence of any data by counting files in drive_letter:\ but I have a catch 22 situation: If the disk is blank drive returns NOT READY and if I check for written data, because drive is not ready (for blank disks) script gives me an error CANNOT FIND PATH when trying to count files. Basically what I want to do is: Step 1: check if CD drive is ready, i.e. if a CD is physically there regardless of it's status or formatted state Step 2: if the drive is ready, check for presence of any data, even if the disk is unformatted without returning error because it's unformatted. Or just simply check if the drive definately contains unformatted and blank, out of the box CD-R - just this will suffice if this is possible. Thanks you, Dave Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145393

    - Urgent please !! Hi all, Can anyone tell me how to trasfer (or copy) specific doc file from one source server to destination server using VBscript. Thanks, Riken Tag: How to share a printer Tag: 145368

Hello!

I want to share a local printer from a Terminal server session with a vbs
script.

Please help, I'm a real newbie to scripting.

Here is the part of my script that doesn't work... ;)

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Printer Where Name = 'PrinterName'")
For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
objPrinter.Shared = True
objPrinter.ShareName = Sharename
objPrinter.Put_
Next

I have the name of the printer in a variable and I want to put it in
'PrinterName' in ("Select * from Win32_Printer Where Name = 'PrinterName'")

I have a Win2003 box.

Many thanks.

Jesper
