 - scripting question and no output I copied the info below into notepad and saved the file as accounts.vbs to the desktop. It's supposed to list all computer accounts in AD and I copied it directly from scripts at MS.com. I go to start-run and type in CMD for the command prompt I navigate to the desktop and type in cscript accounts.vbs The black command prompt screen only returns: Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved. It's not giving me a list of computer accounts. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for any info on this.

 - Creating subfolders at multiple levels Hello. I've got a script that creates subfolders at multiple levels, on a remote server: (watch for word-wrap) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dim strDestinationServer, strAppName, DestinationPath, strTicketNumber Dim Yearfrom, Monthfrom, Dayfrom, strDate, InstallPath, Sub1, Sub2, CodeSub1, Sub3 strDestinationServer = "000-SERVER-05" strAppName = "Webteam" DestinationPath = "\\" & strDestinationServer & "\D$\Install\" & strAppName & "\Installs\" strTicketNumber = "7146" Yearfrom = Year(Date) Monthfrom = Month(Date) Dayfrom = Day(Date) strDate = Yearfrom & "_" & Monthfrom & "-" & Dayfrom InstallPath = strDate & "_Ticket_" & strTicketNumber Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(DestinationPath & InstallPath) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(DestinationPath & InstallPath) End IF Sub1 = DestinationPath & InstallPath & "\D_Project\" IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub1) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub1) End IF Sub2 = Sub1 & strAppName IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub2) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub2) End IF CodeSub1 = "\Teamsite\" Sub3 = Sub2 & CodeSub1 IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub3) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub3) End IF strCMD = "EXPLORER.EXE" Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objWshScriptExec = objShell.Exec (strCMD & " " & Sub3) Set objFSO = nothing Set objShell = nothing Set objWshScriptExec = nothing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The script works fine, but I'm wondering if there's a cleaner way to create all the subfolders: \2006_2-22_Ticket_7146\D_Project\Webteam\Teamsite Can I create those subfolders at multiple levels in one fell swoop, versus having to repeat the "objFSO.CreateFolder" block of code several times: IF NOT objFSO.FolderExists(Sub3) Then objFSO.CreateFolder(Sub3) End IF with the different variables Sub1, Sub2, and Sub3? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187880

 - textbox controls Dear Experts, In my web form, I've a few textbox controls. These controls are to capture date and time. Therefore, I've a calendar link to allow user to make a date and time selection into the textbox control. While the textbox control is read-only mode. All these textbox controls are having the same attributes: Read-only : True EnableViewState : True AutoPostBack : True While the calendar link is calling a Javascript as follow: <a href="javascript:NewCal('<textbox name>','ddmmmyyyy',true,24)"><asp:Label ID="lblCompletionCalendar" runat="server" Text="Calendar" Visible="False"></asp:Label> My problem is, there is one particular textbox control when I click on a button to update the value into the database, the textbox control is being refresh to empty text while the rest of textbox controls remain with the value selected earlier. I've check the attribute and is all the same as the rest of the textbox control. May I get some help from you on solving this problem? Thanks in advance.

 - printer scripting dependent on computer name Jens Frieben from this group gave me some help creating the folowing script to map a printer depending on the computer's name. But I'm not sure I have it quirte right yet because it doesn't work. It seems to go through all the steps because I get the Script Complete message. But no printer is added. (Maybe I have a group policy interfering). It's suppose to check the first eight characters of the computer name (ex 047-lib out of 047-lib-05) and base the printer selection on that. Does anyone have any suggestions? 'Declare Variables Dim sComputerName Set oNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network") 'Determine Computer Name ' sComputerName = left(oNet.ComputerName,8) If (Instr(sComputerName,"047-clib")<>0) Then oNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\s047-s0371-01\c111" oNet.SetDefaultPrinter "\\s047-s0371-01\c111" End If| 'Determine Computer Name ' sComputerName = left(oNet.ComputerName,8) If (Instr(sComputerName,"047-c309")<>0) Then oNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\s047-s0371-01\c309" oNet.SetDefaultPrinter "\\s047-s0371-01\c309" End If| MsgBox "Script Complete" Thanks, Jeremy Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187861

 - CopyFile returns error 800A0034 Hi, I have read through other forums regarding this error. I am receiving it with the destination parameter. I am trying to use a variable I have contructed with the UNC and a users name. I have tried with qoutes & w\o, tried with file name & w\o, with the last backlash & w\o. If I enter the destination are a UNC path in quotes works like a charm, but not when I construct the destination.

 - Login script errors on a blank line I am getting an error on a blank line of my script. I'm getting an error line: 138 char: 3 error: Network path was not found code: 80070035 source: WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive When I use my status bar in Notepad it takes me to a blank line in the script.

 - drive size for drives without drive letters Greetings, I'm using the following script to check drive sizes on various servers. The problem is that our servers also have drives mounted in directories where they don't have drive letters, eg: C:\ (10 GB drive) C:\subdrive (25 GB drive) C:\subdrive\anothersub (15 GB drive) When I execute the script below it only displays the drives with drive letters. Any ideas? Thanks --- Const HARD_DISK = 3 strComputer = "."

 - Filtering usernames and passwords I'm a newbie at VBScript so I apologize beforehand if this is something that's been asked a dozen times already. I've inherited a login page with a username and a password. The maxlen for the password is 64 and the maxlen for the username is 100 (no problem handling this). However, this is used against a Crystal Reports server that allows letters, numbers and punctuation in these login fields. I need to filter out characters that are not letters, numbers or punctuation before the login is submitted. I work for a govt. agency and a security expert was able to type in some script into one of the fields and run it via VBScript and print a screenshot, so it's a big deal and I've gotta disable it. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187852

 - Deleting accounts based on computer name I'm trying to put together a script that will delete any computer accounts that match a particular naming convention (this is in a Windows 2003 domain). All the computers that I'm trying to remove are named test* e.g. testaa, test01, testxyz9 etc. I've tried the following: ================================================ Dim Container Dim ContainerName Dim ComputerToRemove ContainerName = "MyDomain" Set Container = GetObject("WinNT://" & ContainerName) ComputerToRemove = "test*" Call Container.Delete("Computer", ComputerToRemove) ================================================ But of course it doesn't work because it can't recognise test*. I don't want to have to call a text file with all the names of the test* computers as it would be fairly dynamic with new ones being added all the time. Can anyone help?

 - EnumNetworkDrives and RemoveNetworkDrive doesn't work on broken network connection / share - any other ways? If I map a driveletter to a network-share, the share can be enumerated using EnumNetworkDrives of WScript.Network - and likewise un-mapped using RemoveNetworkDrive (or re-mapped using MapNetworkDrive). But if the network share is removed before the mapped driveletter is un-mapped, the mapping is broken and appears in Windows Explorer as a driveletter with a red cross - and if you try to access the driveletter you get the errormessage "The network name cannot be found". Now if you use EnumNetworkDrives the broken driveletter mapping doesn't appear as a network drive - and you can't use RemoveNetworkDrive to remove the connection, this results in the error "WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive: This network connection does not exist". If MapNetworkDrive is attempted on the same driveletter you get the error "WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive: An attemp made to remember a device that had previously been remembered". So you're stuck with a broken connection that can't be viewed / removed / unmapped using EnumNetworkDrives or RemoveNetworkDrive - only through Windows Explorer - Rightclick on driveletter - Disconnect can the connection be removed (or using Net Use <driveletter>: /Delete) So my question is: Does anyone know of any other way using VBScript, WMI etc. to remove a broken networkshare? Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks, Nicolaj Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187829

 - Incidental Factiod: pertaining to ConnectObject/GetRef in Class Code A year ago, I posted a question/complaint about the apparent lack of support for "ConnectObject" or "GetRef" in class code. I had been attempting to instantiate a class from within an actX object and then connect with events fired by that class (not the actX object itself). This works well enough in "main line" vbs code, but not (as best I can tell) in class code. I recently tried to do the same thing, and failed again (groan!). I even searched this ng, and found my previous disgruntled posting. Then I remembered something, i.e., that you can refer to the current instance of class code as "Me", within the class. It occurred to me that "Me" might be equivalent (or even identical to) "GetRef". A "GetRef" gives you an object whose default member calls the routine which you specify. Likewise, if "Me" is a reference to the current instance, then if one refers to "Me" in code, then one will also get a call to the default member of "Me". Cut to the chase. This did work the way I expected it would, and I was then able to (in effect) do a "GetRef" in class code. Here is an example (although referring to a proprietary actX (oSCO) which is setting a "CBT Hook" to detect window openings). When it detects a window opening, it will call me back with the information: --- <snip> --- ' set an "ole callback" for the hookproc... Set oSCO.SetCallBack = Me ' reference to the default member of THIS instance ... ' this is "my hookproc" (called from real hookproc embedded in sco)... Public Default Function myHookWndFunc(uMsg, wParam, lParam) ... ' and this is the "real" hookproc located in the actX (oSCO) object. ' it will intercept the hookproc calls and refer them back to script.

As an "undocumented- and-unsupported" feature, one might justifiably be cautious about using this, because in the past microsoft has abruptly "corrected" (i.e., removed) other undocumented-and-unsupported features. The "good news" is that it will probably take an "act of congress" for microsoft to ever do any further maintenance or support for vbs, so it is extremely unlikely that "Me" will ever go away anytime in the foreseeable future. cheers, jw Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187721

 - recursion to display records I am learning how to get records from a database. I was able to accomplish but I know there are 6 records and I only display 1. I know what to do but do not know how in vbscript. i think the script needs a for loop to display records until completed but was unable to get working. ----------------CODE BELOW-------------------- Const DB_CONNECT_STRING= "provider=SQLOLEDB.1;data source=localhost;database=PSMT;uid=mydbUser;pwd=???????" Set MyDB = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") MyDB.Open(DB_CONNECT_STRING) SQLString = "select SystemName, Win32_ComputerSystem_TotalPhysicalMemory, OSInstallDate, LAST_UPDATED from SystemInfo where (Win32_ComputerSystem_TotalPhysicalMemory) < 120746688" set MemQuery = MyDB.Execute(SQLString) If Not MemQuery.EOF then SystemName = MemQuery.Fields("SystemName") PhysicalMem = MemQuery.Fields("Win32_ComputerSystem_TotalPhysicalMemory") OSINstallDate = MemQuery.Fields("OSInstallDate") LastUpdated = MemQuery.Fields("LAST_UPDATED") WScript.Echo(SystemName & vbtab & PhysicalMem & vbtab & OSINstallDate & vbtab & LastUpdated) End if MyDB.Close Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187717

 - Setup.exe Silent intall w/.ISS not working I am a novice in vbscript. Nonetheless I have an application on all computers I need to be installed with a script on all computers. The following works: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run = "D:\TL06\setup.exe -s -f1D:\TL06\setupNEW.iss", 1 True (-s is to silent install and the -f1 indicates the file location for the response file needed in the silent install.) The problem is the folder has a space, so with the change in folder name the following does NOT work: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run = "D:\TL 06\setup.exe -s -f1D:\TL 06\setupNEW.iss", 1 True I tried adding extra quotes before and after but it does not work. I tried declaring variables for the files but that does not work either. I am missing something? or is it not possible to add arguments to a file who's path has a space in it? The error that comes up is that The system cannot find the specified file. Please help anyone. R D J Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187715

 - Verify is a service can be stopped I am trying to automatically start a service that is failing. Before I can start the service, I need to verify that the service can be stopped. I have the following code that tells me the state of all services running that can be stopped. What I need to do is only check if a particular service can be stopped, then if it can, kick off the stop and restart of the service. I can stop and start, I just need to fix the following code to check for a particular service. strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Service Where AcceptStop = True") For Each objService in colServices Wscript.Echo objService.DisplayName Next Thanks Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187714

 - XCOPY in VBscript Anyone have an xcopy-like written in vbscript? Not a script that calls DOS xcopy, but actually have a script that performs like xcopy? Thanks. Tag: vbscript and roaming profiles Tag: 187712

I need a script to query AD to find all users without roaming profiles,
if the user
doesn't have a roaming profile I'd like to delete their roaming profile
share off of
the file servers.
