    - A couple of questions about VBScript I've got a couple of questions WRT VBScript. I am using VBScript with Windows Script Host on Windows XP and incorporating the scripts into a WSF file. My questions are as follows: 1. Do classes allow for public or private Const declarations? I've tried, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I have been able to duplicate the behavior by using properties with only a Get accessor, but this seems to be a bit of a hack. I have several constants that are only needed internal to the class and several that are helpful as arguments to methods. The amount of code needed for the property hack seems wasteful and the initialization of private data members is cumbersome. 2. Does VBScript allow Enums? The documentation doesn't appear to disallow it, but I am unable to code them without getting a runtime error. I've likely missed something in the documentation, but I thought that I would ask. 3. Is it possible to have some sort of class constructor that takes an argument as opposed to Class_Initialize which does not allow arguments? I have several classes where it makes sense to only have single step contruction as the class is in an indeterminate state unless several properties are known at class instantiation time. Two-step construction would require the user of the classes to know that the second method call is required. Thanks in advance.. -Pete Tag: using vbscript to transfer/move files Tag: 172611

    - IExplore.exe Below is a vb script that will destroy any Iexplore.exe processes. It works fine but is there a way to determine which ones not destroy. For example, lets say the following websites are currently open. www.google.com www.yahoo.com www.microsoft.com Is there a way to destory yahoo and google but leave the microsft site open. We have a webapplication that is menu enabaled that launches several websites. I want to be able to see if a website is open before intiaiting another instance. strWMIMoniker = "winmgmts:!//posdtdc357407b" strQuery = "select * from Win32_Process where Name='iexplore.exe'" WScript.Echo(strQuery) For Each wmiProcess in GetObject(strWMIMoniker).ExecQuery(strQuery) WScript.Echo wmiProcess.Name & " (" & wmiProcess.ProcessId & ") is being terminated" wmiProcess.Terminate Next Tag: using vbscript to transfer/move files Tag: 172609

    - Editing the nth byte of a BINARY Registry Value Hello I'm trying to edit a Binary Registry value which I can do by doing a full replace of the data, but because the data could be different from machine to machine and only specific bytes change I was trying to write a script that would allow me just edit specific bytes for example byte 6 and 63, but I don't know the best way to go about it. Could I use to the Replace function in this example? Replace(reg_string, "00", "01", 63, 1, 0) If so would someone be able be able to help me read in a binary registry value that I could run the replace on. I really don't have any preference how I get to how I get this to work, my programming knowledge is limited so any advice or help would be most appreciated. Thanks for time Gary PS My reference to a byte is if you export out from the registery a binary value eg "1"=hex:03,00,00,00,00,00,00, I'm asuming that the number inbetween the coma's represets a byte and I've worked out byte's that I would need to change.

    - Passing arrays as DialogArguments.. ?? VBS to JS Hi Passing objects from Javascript via the DialogArgs works fine. Creating an Obj in VBScript to pass...?? but Real Question is Having created a dynamic array in VBscript, populated with the values 1 to 10 ie dim Arr() .. // Set the values redim preserrve etc in a loop .. I call the window.showModalDialog("XXX.htm", arr, "....") and the receiving XXX.htm dialog window receives the dialog args as (in JavaScipt ) var oMyObject = window.dialogArguments; and fails as Type MisMatch Is this maybe because of slightly different implementations in the languages of the dialogArguments or ..? Nonetheless, how do I resolve this ? (I have about 3 days of scripting total to my name...

    - Remotable WSC not showing up in "dcomcnfg.exe" ? Hi there, maybe someone could help me in this corner: - I created a WSC (a COM component with the logic written in VBasic and ooRexx), which can be instantiated locally *and* after some research and peeking and poking also remotely (one needs to use the "remotable"-attribute and then configure the remote access via "dcomcnfg.exe" - after enhancinge, changing, copying forward and backward, renamed the PROGID and the like; anyway, locally everything has been working and humming along nicely, but now when trying to test the remote-instantiation and remote access I need to configure the DCOM part for that WSC; unexplicably, the WSC-component does not show up anymore? Tried a lot of things (including rebooting the machine a couple of times just to be sure), but so far I could not come to a solution. If there is anyone who could give any hints/ideas, I really would appreciate it. TIA, ---rony P.S.: Could it be that NTFS-access rights can have an influence on "dcomcnfg.exe" not being able to find my WSC-component ?

I can maybe see using the function for working with some binary data within a string variable, but I really can't understand why the binary comparison would be the default. I almost get the feeling that the binary compare may be intented to do a case insensitive text comparison, but surely that would be explained better within the help.

    - Auto-logon dilemma I have a lab of 50 XP pro machines that is sometimes used for exams. When the exam begins, I run a script that modifies the following registry values in HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon: AutoAdminLogon (1) ForceAutoLogon (1) Default UserName(<username>) DefaultPassword (<password>) The script then executes a remote auto-logoff on any logged-on machines, and those machines promptly log-off and then log back on using the account info sent to the registry. However, all other machines require the user to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before the auto-logon executes. Is there a way through vbs/wsh to force the auto-logon to happen unattended? In other words, I want all of the machines to auto-logon, regardless of whether they were logged on to begin with. Tag: using vbscript to transfer/move files Tag: 172523

    - Setting RDP-TCP Permissions on Win2k Is there any way to set these permissions via script? We are not yet on AD and there is no way for me to set it through a local security policy. I thought about using subinacl to launch from a shell but I cannot find the functionality in it do set these permissions either. There has to be a way other than the gui...thx eric Tag: using vbscript to transfer/move files Tag: 172515

    - Active Directory Servers Uptime Here's something that I had quickly put together some time ago and as an admin of several remote networks I find it quite handy: This script will query your AD for server systems and display each machine's uptime (hours/rounded off days). It'll assume and tell you that the server is offline if it can't query it. You want to switch your default engine to Cscript before running it - otherwise it will keep popping up a message box for each system. Also replace the "domainnamegoeshere" (and perhaps "com") with your domain name: On Error Resume Next 'Option Explicit Dim objRootDSE, strDNSDomain, objConnection, objCommand, strQuery Dim objRecordSet, strComputerDN, ComputerNameFilter, ComputerNameFilterDC, FinalFilter, strOS Dim colOperatingSystems, objWMIService, objOS, dtmBootup, iDate, iBias, dtmLastBootupTime Dim dtmSystemUptime ' Determine DNS domain name from RootDSE object.

    - ASP Page tyring to query AS/400 file I have created an SQL statement that queries a file on our AS/400 using a DNS-less connection.

Valid tokens: <END-OF-STATEMENT>. IBM says this MS Query is aliasing one of the fields in the query with the invalid identifier, '$'. The single quotes around the $ character identify this as a literal value rather than a column identifier. IBM also says this is a defect in the MS Query 2000 product and to contact Microsoft.

What account is the script running under? If it's a startup script
running under system, you'd get the problem you describe because the
script doesn't have rights on the remote box.
