Wildcards for Set Commands **please help**
Here is what I have, we have over 400 branches in our company each one name
Branch 004, Branch 005, Branch 006, and so on. I want to create one script
that will use a wild card for each Branch name and with that load the proper
Set Commands. Each Branch has its own Snap Server or Network Storage Device,
named Branch 004 Snap, Branch 005 Snap and so on. We used to have it set in
the Autoexec for each PC (SET SNAP=\\BR004snap) , but now that we are an
entirely Windows 2000 or XP, I want to use Active Directory.
Basically what I want to do is this, based on the Branch number set the
variable based on the branch number to the Branch Snap name, for example, if
branch name = branch 004 then 'set snap = branch 004', but I want this to be
done with a wildcard if possible using the Branch number (so I dont have to
key in 400 different scripts for each branch).
Any help would be greatly appreciate, thanks!! Tag: new to vbscript : DEBUG Tag: 144239
Listing Processes By Username
I currently have a script that will list all running
processes and the usersnames of the user that the process
was started as.
When I run this script on a machine within a domain I can
list all processes and all usernames, but when the same
script is run on a Windows 2000 Server in a workgroup I
can only list processes running as SYSTEM or the currently
logged on user. I am logged on with the administrator
account but this has no effect. Any ideas as to what could
be causing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

UserAccountControl property values
Hello,
Can anyone please confirm what the UserAccountControl values 4130
and 4128 mean?
4096 is a default workstation account
32 is No password is required
2 is The user account is disabled
My guess is:
4096 + 32 = 4128 = No password is required for the workstation
account.
4096 + 32 +2 = 4130 = The workstation account which does not require a
password is disabled.
Is that the way it works?
Thanks for any replies.

consistent modified file date format
Hello,
I've written a pretty simple .asp page that displays the file name and date
of a file on the server. When I move this .asp page onto a different server
the modified file date format is not the same as it was on my server. I am
sure the settings on the server where the page is located are much different
than mine, nonetheless I still need to display the proper modified file
date.
On my server the modified file date is displayed as this (after I trim the
string of course)
M/DD/YYYY
On the current server the format looks like this:
M/D/YY
So is there a way for me to build the modified file date? I tried using the
DatePart function on the pointer to the fileObject but it didn't work.
Can this be done?
Cheers,

Hi,
I found a new security problem in Windows XP that could (most likely,

The error message is: Type Mismatch 800A000D. The error occurs on the

copying data from tape drive
Hi,
How do i write a script to copy contents of remote tape drive which is

Runas script
I have a script that looks like this:
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "runas /user:mrx""e:\test.exe -10.0.0.1 -
kalle -olle"""
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.Sendkeys "password~"
It works fine. but I want to use this script on a
terminalserver, and therefore I want to create a shortcut
that starts my vbscrip like this.

Independent processes and file renaming
What I need: A way to open a bunch of internet shortcuts from a vbs or
jscript script on Win2K SP3 with independent processes.
My Problem: I work in a helpdesk that has a lot of "online" tools. I
usually have 6-15 web pages open at any given time. But there is this one
that always crashes every few hours. When it crashes IE has to be
restarted. When I log on I have a bunch of URL shortcuts in my Startup
folder. If I've opened them all up (including the evil program)
automatically from the Startup folder, at logon, they all close when that
one troublesome program crashes.
I know I could just open up the evil program last by itself but I don't want
to. What can I say; I just want to make this work my way.
Is there a way to have a script read a text file full of URLs and open them
up with independent processes using an unaltered WSH from Win2K SP3? I
can't alter the computer in any way to support PERL or Python or anything
else... I'm stuck with VBScript or Jscript.
Request #2
I want to write a script that renames a bunch of files in a directory using
a certain convention like file file01.jpg, file02.jpg, etc...
Everywhere (including MSDN) says that with the FIlesystemObject in the WSH
can't do that with binaries like jpegs. Is there any way around that? What
about using .bat files? I've seen some very cool .bat files but I haven't
been able to find a reference for how to create all the detailed parts of
one. If you can help with that please let me know.
Thanks in advance

TIP - Regular Expression for Returning Text up to a Blank Line - [\s\S]*?(?:\r?\n){2}
This is a useful ditty that someone sent me. I had wanted to return a
section of a string extracted from a Text File from a particular point
up until the first blank line.
The pattern to use is "[\s\S]*?(?:\r?\n){2}".
[\s\S]*? - Any number of any characters or no character at all. The
"?" at the end makes the SubMatch non-greedy i.e. it only matches the
first occurrence. I am not sure why the "?" is necessary but you could
give it a go without it. It may just speed the matching process; just
do enough matching to say that there are "0 or more matches" and then
move on to next pattern i.e. "(?:\r?\n){2}".
(?:) - Don't return this sequence as a SubMatch. Note this is only
needed if you intend to get SubMatches and not just match the entire
string. It is a heavy price to pay for wanting to group characters
whilst also wanting SubMatches.
\r?\n - Carriage Return (optional due to "?") and Line Feed
(required). Note that some Operating Systems/Editors do not put a
Carriage Return in files.
(?:\r?\n){2} - Two such CRLF sequences in series with nothing in
between and not returned as a submatch.
Hope this is of use to someone out there 8:-)>

Global.asa and application recordset variable ...
Hi !
I'm trying to declare and initialize application variable which will be of
type "ADODB.Recordset". I would then also fill it with values in Global.asa.
Idea is to create application recordset and fill it with some data from
database (so recordset will hold data in memory). Then every other page
would access that recordset to show data in asp pages.
How to do that ?
Thanks,
Drago. :-) Tag: new to vbscript : DEBUG Tag: 144169
HELP. WMI check and reg check script
Guys,gals,
I am working on a problem at the moment in where I need to patch about
60 Armada e500 laptops . I want to write a vbscript to do this. I was
thinking about doing a Win32_ComputerSystem _ Model and doing a quick
check of the registry to see if the patch is install .. blah.. and
then install if it doesn't exist. I have next to no Vb experience and
just need a quick hand getting going and I should be right . So far I
have
StrComputer=InputBox("Enter Computer Name ")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & StrComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objComputer2 in colSettings
objFile.WriteLine "Manufacturer: " & Chr(9) &
objComputer2.Manufacturer
objFile.WriteLine "Model : " & Chr(9) & objComputer2.Model

Using VBS to check that an ActiveX control was installed properly?
Hi,
Is there a way to have some VBScript in a web page after an
OBJECT section to make sure that an ActiveX control or its
prerequirements (VB run-time, etc.) is correctly installed on the
client host?
I've seen some registry-related samples in VBScript, but they seem to
require the WSH package to be installed prior to running this type of
VBScript code.
Thank you

regular expression for SQL fields
hi all
I have a string like this:
dbo.ManageDate(Now(),5,"A") as Mdate,mid(Company,1,5) as s,
dbo.GetSocCode(mid(Company,7,5)) as sCode
this is the part of a SQL query between SELECT and FROM.
What Regular expression returns the fields separately i.e.
- dbo.ManageDate(Now(),5,"A") as Mdate
- mid(Company,1,5) as s
- dbo.GetSocCode(mid(Company,7,5)) as sCode ?
Can't use comma as separator (appears in function, too).
i tried to use only commas NOT in () , but i failed... Tag: new to vbscript : DEBUG Tag: 144139
