    - AD field names Can anyone help me out with a few Active Directory field names, how to find them, or what they are? I'm struggeling to find the the names for; - the user profile logon script - the terminal services profile path - I would also like to return the list of security permissions, and the list of groups each user is a member of, but I have a feeling, being a list they will be more complicated to return. So far what I have works fine for the easy bits ( account name, email address, NT profile path). I am building a database of User data for our ID dept, and this part grabs info from AD, I will run this regularly to update me DB. Here is some of what I have so far, hopefully that will help you see what I'm doing. Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' Use ADO to search Active Directory. Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set oCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") oConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject" oConnection.Open "Active Directory Request" Set oCommand.ActiveConnection = oConnection ' gets the DNS domain. Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE") strConfig = objRootDSE.Get("configurationNamingContext") strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext") classFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))" strType = "user" strAttributes = "sAMAccountName,objectClass,ADsPath,lastLogon,distinguishedName,userAccountControl" sQuery = "<LDAP://" & strDNSDomain & ">;" & classFilter & ";" & strAttributes & ";subtree" oCommand.CommandText = sQuery oCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000 oCommand.Properties("Timeout") = 60 oCommand.Properties("Cache Results") = False Set oResults = oCommand.Execute ' Loop through oResults(the AD objects) and print out the results Do Until oResults.EOF Set oGroup = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDNSDomain) Set oUser = GetObject(oResults.Fields("ADsPath")) ' Output results Set file = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sLogFile, 8, True) file.Write("SAM account name: " & oUser.SAMAccountName & "; ") file.Write("E-mail address: " & oUser.Mail & "; ") file.Writeline("User profile path: " & oUser.ProfilePath & "; ") oResults.MoveNext file.Close Loop oConnection.Close At the moment all I think I'm after is the field that I would append to oUser, eg something like oUser.LogonScript to return the logon script, however it's not 'LogonScript' and I have tried everything I can think of. I know there fields exist as I have filled them out in AD in some cases myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160814

    - Active X component can't create object When I try to run the following script: strRemoteComputer = "COMPUTER.NAME" strWorkerScript = "Set_Default_Printer.vbs" Set objWshController = WScript.CreateObject("WshController") Set objRemoteScript = objWshController.CreateScript(strWorkerScript, strRemoteComputer) objRemoteScript.Execute I get the following error: --------------------------- Windows Script Host --------------------------- Script: Line: 4 Char: 1 Error: ActiveX component can't create object Code: 800A01AD Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error Any ideas on what I can do to solve this would be very welcome.

    - Regisration wall for static pages? Could anyone offer some pointers on how to use a registration wall or email address to control access to a myriad of static pages we have running on multiple sites on our remote web host.... I have built a 'pinch point' web form wall that the user has to go through...see here: http://www.catamarans.com/sales/promotions/ I set four paramenters: From Url, From Section, Target url, target section....BUT...there is no underlying database.......I am looking for a simple solution that would probably work off a basic inventory and customer database but it needs to be flexible...I would assume if the user has already registered he would only have to enter his email address the next time... but is even this asking too much..... Anyway, would appreciate any advice on the above. Best Regards Jason The Catamaran Company www.catamarans.com Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160803

    - passing a variable to the registry I'm trying to put the %computername% variable as a value to a key in the registry, but the application that uses that key inputs it as %computername% in the application and not the actual computername. Should you be able to use variables in the registry? I have looked everywhere for this info. The closest I came is finding a link to a freeware utility (REGENV) that supposedly does it, but the link was dead. I didn't know which forum to ask this question in. These types of newsgroups seem to know more then your average windows newsgroup. Thanks, Scott Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160785

    - JavaScript - VBScript - VBArray Wow, been using VBScript forever. Just recently started using Javascript more and more (I used to do a lot of Javascript, but switched because we weren't allowed to where I work...now we can). So, now that I have the knowledge of the scripting objects, I tried implementing the Scripting.Dictionary object in JavaScript (passing it back and forth to VBScript contained in an IE window). Ya know, you have to go through a few hoops to get the Dictionary to function properly in Javascript. IE: var dict = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.Dictionary'); dict.Add('Key1', 'Value1'); dict.Add('Key2', 'Value2'); dict.Add('Key3', 'Value3'); var keys = new VBArray(dict.Keys()).toArray(); var vals = new VBArray(dict.Values()).toArray(); // To iterate through the arrays using an index... for (var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) { // Just storing the value into a buffer. buf += '\n' + keys[i] + ' = ' + vals[i]; } Kinda nuts eh?

    - Start HTA from VBA with param Hi, this should be simple: I want to start a hypertext application from VBA (I know; not vbs: in this case I use MSAcccess). The hypertext application uses a parameter, so from the commandline this works fine: "C:\Program Files\BMBConnect\BMBConnect.hta" -748172 But I'm unable to start this from script. It should be something like this AppName="""C:\Program Files\BMBConnect\BMBConnect.hta"" -748172" X = Shell(AppName, 1) When I try to open IE with this HTA the whitespace after 'hta' is encoded, and I get the message that the hta file cannot be found.

    - Why does this fail sometimes? Sorry, couldn't think of a better title. I have this script intended to see if somebody is logged onto a remote PC. If so (under certain circumstances), I open up a reminder prompt on that PC. I am using what I take to be a standard generic method, and it -did- work. Problem is that now, it shows that nobody is logged in, even when they are. It works OK when I query my machine and the other machines in my office, but not the remote machines. I am wondering if it involves some obscure network setting or something.

    - scripting.filesystemobject I have a logging sub routine, that writes log records to a text file. The sub routine is copied below... The issue I have, is that this file can get very large and as the process runs, it gets slower and slower, with the size of the file getting very big. Is there any way, with the scripting object, to only append to the text file, without having to read the entire file into a variable and then append to the variable, then write the variable back to the file.... Something like the normal VB command of 'open for append as #1', which allows the text record to write to the end of the file, without having to read the entire file into memory. Is the scripting.filesystemobject, the correct object to use, or is there another object that should be used? This is a vbs script, but I have tried using the object browser (with the Microsoft Scripting Runtime reference loaded) and it does not show any 'append' type method... sub doLogging(inRecord) dim fsoObject 'As script object dim strText 'As string set fsoObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject) with fsoObject.OpenTextFile("c:\log.txt") strText = .ReadAll .Close end with fsoObject.DeleteFile "c:\log.txt", True strText = strText & vbCrLf if trim(inRecord) <> "" then strText = strText & inRecord with fsoObject.CreateTextFile("c:\log.txt") .Write strText .Close end with set fsoObject = nothing end sub Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160741

    - DatePart not working completely I have a DTS in Microsoft SQL Server in which I am writing an ActiveX Script Task using VB Script Language. I need to build a string for current date and time in this format : YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. So I wrote this code : Dim v_CurrentDate Dim v_DateString v_CurrentDate = Date DateString = DatePart ( "yyyy", v_CurrentDate ) & _ Right ( "0" & DatePart ("m", v_CurrentDate), 2 ) & _ Right ( "0" & DatePart ("d", v_CurrentDate), 2 ) & _ Right ( "0" & DatePart ("h", v_CurrentDate), 2 ) & _ Right ( "0" & DatePart ("n", v_CurrentDate), 2 ) & _ Right ( "0" & DatePart ("s", v_CurrentDate), 2 ) But the above code is only working correctly for year, month and day part but not the hours, month and seconds. The result I am getting is : DateString = 20040719000000 My question is why hours, month and seconds are being returned as 000000? What mistake I am making here?

    - Install setup.exe with silent install switch -s -f1\\setup.iss I'm having a bear of a time figuring this out. I need to install Thinprint which is a program used with Citrix to solve printing issues. They do not provide a .msi file so I use a setup.exe with a silent install script recorded as setup.iss. I have tried for 3 days to get this working to deploy to all my domain's PCs. My company use to have every as a domain admin so that they would have local admin rights. WSe'll, when I was hired I removed domain admin rights and made them just local user permissions on PCs. Now this is the first big software rollout and I look like an idiot. I can't get the setup.exe to run. I have a login script were it work, but only if they are a local admin. If they aren't, the msiexec.exe and setup run in task manager but it just sits there for hours. This weekend I tried the GPO startup to get it to run as the system account. I still have the same issues. I tried .bat, .vbs, .whs and I just can't get it to work. I have the install and silent install file on a public drive which users map H: to. So this is the command I try to run. H:\setup -s -f1h:\setup.iss I have also tried unc. \\server\public\setup -s -f1\\server\public\setup.iss I have used runas and psexec to run with admin permissions. I must be doing the command line wrong or something. I programed a little delphi .exe program to run the command. It works but with only if admin rights on the PC. Can someone hold my hand and actually give me the code or examples? I searched google for hours doing research to run my script 100 different ways. Non work. I've got to be missing something very simple. Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160724

    - Event Logs Backup ans save Hello. Using some of the scripts from Microsoft Technet I am able to clear and backup the event logs on server then copy them to a folder on a remote share. This is ok but to run this script on other servers I would need to edit the script each time by putting in the server name. I would like the server event logs to backup to a folder the same as the computer name ie: "Server A" would backup to a folder on the remote share called "Server A". I would like this to happen without having to put the computer name into the script, so that if the script is run on "server A" then it would create and backup to a folder called "Server A" on the remote share. I really hope this makes sense. Here is the script. dtmThisDay = Day(Now) dtmThisMonth = Month(Now) dtmThisYear = Year(Now) strBackupName = dtmThisYear & "_" & dtmThisMonth & "_" & dtmThisDay strComputer = "SERVER A" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Backup)}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colLogFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_NTEventLogFile where LogFileName='system'") For Each objLogfile in colLogFiles objLogFile.BackupEventLog ("c:\Install\Event Logs\" & strBackupName & _ "_system.evt") objlogFile.ClearEventLog() Const OverwriteExisting = True Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.CopyFile "C:\Install\Event Logs\*.*" , "\\remoteserver\elogs$\ServerA\" , OverwriteExisting Next Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160714

    - CDO, MAPI VBScript just stops Hi I have a VBSCRIPT which scans through a Public folder called AUTO-RESPONSE. Under AUTO-RESPONSE, there are 20 or so Sub folders with POSTS in them. Each item as a User-Defined Folder variable called DAYS. I have three scripts. The first one increments the DAYS value by one each day. There are probably 7000 items which it updates in 5 minutes.. No problems here. The other two scripts run at each day and looks for 3 day or 6 day items, then sends an email to the recipient, then if it is a 6 day email, deletes the email. Ok... both scripts are exactly the same, except the 3 or 6 day check and the message delete. Both scripts behave the same. That is: They start processing, looking at each subfolder and if it finds the 3/6 in the DAYS field processes the message. This works fine for a short time, then the script just stops as though it has finished. The script is not hanging, the wscript just disappears from the w2k process list. It seems to have only prcessed about 20 mail items, sometimes 50, but always less than 60. If I run the script again (say for the 6 day which has deleted the previous emails as required) it starts where it "left off" in the previous run, might go 10, 20 items then again disappears/stops. I have a debug log being written at every crucial area that could cause an error, but an error is never generated. Has anyone seen this behaviour? I have included the whole subroutine for your scrutinization.. (Variables not defined in the sub are Global Vars and have the correct valuse loaded before calling the routine.) I hope that you can either see the issue,or offer a better way of doing the process... Thanks Robert Sub DoSubFolders Dim nLoop Dim iLoop 'Loop through each folder, check it has a * in the first column and process each message. for nLoop = 1 to objFolder.Folders.count set objSubFolder = objFolder.Folders(nLoop) if err.number <> 0 then ' Write debug info If blnLogFileOpen = True Then objFile.WriteLine "Folder error (" & objSubFolder.name & ") - Error: " & err.Description End If end if err.Clear if left(objSubFolder.name,1) = "*" then ' Write debug info If blnLogFileOpen = True Then objFile.WriteLine "Folder: " & objSubFolder.name & ", messages to check: " & objSubFolder.Messages.count End If 'Find All messages in the Folder and send response to recipient if objSubFolder.Messages.count > 0 then set objMessages = objSubFolder.Messages For iloop = 1 to objMessages.count err.Clear numDays = 0 Set objMessage = objMessages.Item(iLoop) set objFields = objMessage.fields if err.number <> 0 then ' Write debug info If blnLogFileOpen = True Then objFile.WriteLine " Message Field Error - Error: " & err.Description End If end if err.Clear set objField = objFields.item("Days") numDays = cint(objField) if err.number <> 0 then ' Write debug info If blnLogFileOpen = True Then objFile.WriteLine " NumDays Error - Error: " & err.Description End If end if err.clear 'If numDays = 6 then we need to send the email if numDays = 6 then Set objSMail = CreateObject("Redemption.SafeMailItem") objSMail.Item = objMessage strType = objSMail.Fields(PR_SENDER_ADDRTYPE) Set objSenderAE = objSMail.Sender If Not objSenderAE Is Nothing Then If strType = "SMTP" Then mailTO = objSenderAE.Address ElseIf strType = "EX" Then mailTO = objSenderAE.Fields(PR_EMAIL) End If mailSUB = objsMail.Subject End If Set objSenderAE = Nothing Set objSMail = Nothing if err.number <> 0 then ' Write debug info If blnLogFileOpen = True Then objFile.WriteLine " Message Error - Error: " & err.Description End If end if err.Clear 'OK..

    - "generic" code to retrieve any type of WMI info - possible in VBScript? Hello all-- After a few hours of playing around ... and many, many hours of searching ... I am not able to find an answer to my problem -- so I'm hoping that the bright minds here might be able to help. I'm working on a project to monitor various components of our enterprise network via WMI. Being that VBScript/ASP are my primary programming skills these days, I was planning on writing an interface in ASP that would write items to an Access or SQL database, and then a VBScript process which could query the database and submit WMI lookups against hosts and log the data returned. I know how to do all of the pieces required except one -- making a WMI query mechanism that is "generic" enough to handle any type of data I might want to retrieve (or at least typical sets such as numeric, string, boolean, etc.) The problem that I have, is that the values must be called specifically depending on what the data is. So, for instance, if I want to get the temperature out of the system I have to specifically call the ".CurrentTemperature" property within the code. For example.... strComputer = "localhost" set wbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\wmi") set wbemObjectSet = wbemServices.InstancesOf("MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature") For Each wbemObject In wbemObjectSet WScript.Echo "InstanceName : " & wbemObject.InstanceName WScript.Echo "Current Temperature: " & wbemObject.CurrentTemperature Next This works great - but it's just not generic for the several hundred types of queries I can imagine running. I can't define a variable of "CurrentTemperature" and call it at the end of the wbemObject. - it just doesn't work that way (nor did I expect it would). Therefore, I need something generic. I want to be able to create an Access database record which would simply define the object set (MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature) and the property within that set (CurrentTemperature) to check, and then handle that with generic variables which can then post the data to Access, analyze it for violating a threshold, etc. (Apologies if I don't have the lingo quite right - I haven't actually "officially" been a programmer for over a decade) Hopefully I've gotten my point across and you might understand where I'm headed with this. I'd moat likely make the framework an open-source project as a simple and easy-to use network monitoring system. Thanks in advance! -Douglas Toombs Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160705

    - A few questions for you VBScript Gurus!!! Hello All, I am new to VBScript and was hoping for some pointers. Basically, I created a DOS batch file at work that allows us to install several software packages in order after we tell it which drive to launch the packages from. The DOS batch file works like a dream, however, I would like to use VBScript to take this to the next level. I have figured out how to do certain things like display system specs and stuff like that, but some of the basic concepts are giving me problems. Here are the questions I have: 1. After setting up an Input Box that has the buttons OK and Cancel, how can I program the script to exit the program if the button Cancel is pressed? As it stands right now, regardless if the OK or Cancel button is pressed, the script will carry on to the next line of code. 2. In the DOS batch file, I was easily able to set up labels and tell DOS if a certain condition was met, goto label, If condition wasn't met goto this label. Basically, I was easily able to direct my script to jump to different parts of my code just by using the goto xxxx. Can I do this in VBScript? Right now, it seems like the Select Case and Do Loops just doesn't fit my needs but that is probably because I don't know how to use them properly for what I am trying to do. 3. I am currently using NotePad to develop my scripts and it is ok for the most part. However, if I run the program and receive an error in line 77, I have to count all the way down just to find out the line. Please tell me there is a better way! Right now I have decided to break my code down into sections and run one part at a time in seperate scripts just to see if it works. 4. Is there a way that I can display colored text in a message box? The goal is to have the system specs displayed and if any part of the system specs doesn't meet my software requirements, then I want it to display additional text (that is red) pointing this out. Any help or advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Tag: vbscript to launch Outlook Tag: 160699

    - Access Denied while installing Printers in Windows Server 2003 Hi, I have been banging my head against the wall all day trying to figure this out. We are migrating our Print Server from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003. I found some cool scripts that run on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 that I thought would make my life easier. Silly me! I developed my script on XP and everything seems to work. I create over 300 printers in a few minutes. I went over to my 2003 Server and it won't run. I get an Access Denied message. The Error Code is 80041003. The Source is SWbemObjectEx. First off, I am using the local Administrator account on the server. Second, I thought it was some sort of policy setting that our Domain was applying. So I rebuilt the server and did not join it to a domain. It has all default security settings applied. This code is a sample to create an IP Printer Port. I got it from microsofts site. It does not work on Server 2003. Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:") Set objNewPort = objWMIService.Get _ ("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").SpawnInstance_ objNewPort.Name = "IP_169.254.110.14" objNewPort.Protocol = 1 objNewPort.HostAddress = "169.254.110.14" objNewPort.PortNumber = "9999" objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False objNewPort.Put_ The line the program aborts on is the last line. objNewPort.Put_ According to Microsofts website this should work on Server 2003.
