    - Calling server side Sub from link Is it at all possible to call a Server Side VBScript Sub from a link? I've got a link (an image) to download an application and when the user clicks the image I want to call a Sub which will record the activity in a database. I know that if it is possible it's not going to be straight forward! Any ideas on how I can do it? Thanks, Carolyn Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165098

    - Defrag Script Problem I have downloaded the defrag.vbs script from MS Script Center. It defrags the drive OK but doesn't close the application. Instead the script gets stuck in a loop during:- While WshShell.AppActivate("Defragmentation Complete") = FALSE wscript.sleep 5000 Wend At the end of the defrag a dialog box comes up but is not recognised by the script:- Disk Fragmenter Defragmentation is complete for: (drive:) Does anyone know how to sort this problem? I have tried changing "Defragmentation Complete" but without success. Also, I would like to defrag all drives before closing. Can I just use sendkeys to move the focus in a loop to the next drive and repeat the process once the problem above is sorted? Thanks Andrew 'This script launches defrag and sends keys to the UI in order to automate the defrag 'process. set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Launch Defrag from the command line and wait for a second WshShell.Run "dfrg.msc" WScript.Sleep 1000 'Wait until the application has loaded - Check every second While WshShell.AppActivate("Disk Defragmenter") = FALSE wscript.sleep 1000 Wend 'Bring the application to the foreground WshShell.AppActivate "Disk Defragmenter" WScript.Sleep 200 'Send an ALT-A key to bring down the degrag menu WshShell.SendKeys "%A" WScript.Sleep 200 'Send a D to start the defrag WshShell.SendKeys "D" '*****THE SCRIPT FAILS DURING THE NEXT BLOCK***** 'Wait until the defrag is completed - Check for window every 5 seconds While WshShell.AppActivate("Defragmentation Complete") = FALSE wscript.sleep 5000 '*****THE SCRIPT GETS STUCK IN A LOOP HERE***** Wend '*****THE SCRIPT DOESN'T GET TO HERE***** 'Bring the msgbox to the foreground WshShell.AppActivate "Defragmentation Complete" WScript.Sleep 200 'Send a tab key to move the focus from View Report button to the Close Button WshShell.Sendkeys "{TAB}" Wscript.Sleep 500 'Send key to Close the Defragmentation Complete window WshShell.Sendkeys "{ENTER}" Wscript.Sleep 500 'Send and ALT-F4 to Close the Defrag program WshShell.Sendkeys "%{F4}" Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165095

    - VBScript, ASP, and Active Directory We are trying to use vbscript in a .asp page to authenicate a user in our Active Directory. The following works correctly against our main domain. Both the user name and password is validated properly. strADsPath=WinNT://domain.com strUser =domain.com\j5c Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUser, strPassword, 0) Hereâ??s where the issue is, we have a separate domain for each site. Users at each site are in the site domain and not in the main domain. For example, the site domain is called ada.domain.com on server ada-admin1. I have a user account with j5c as the username in both the ada.domain.com and domain.com domains. The following will find the j5c user but I can put anything in for the password. It finds j5c in the main domain, domain.com based on writing out the values I put in the description field on the j5c account in both domains. The return code is always 0 with a correct user name and any password. strADsPath =WinNT://ada.domain.com/ada-admin1 strUser =ada.domain.com\j5c Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUser, strPassword, 0) If I donâ??t include the server name, ada-admin1, in strADsPath =WinNT://ada.domain.com/ada-admin1, it does find the ada.domain.com domain. Iâ??m not sure if the issue is the way we have Active Directory set up or the syntax for pointing to the site domains. Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165086

    - finding a URL in dynamically written html I have a site that does a Response.Write() to create a table of contents from an XML transformation. This happens each time a page is served up. The system works fine, but I would like to find the anchor in the HTML table of contents that matches the current page and change its class. Obviously, I could do that with a client-side script, but I'd much rather do that in ASP/vbscript. Is there a way for vbscript to do that? I can't even get a test script to find the id of the root. I've placed the script immediatly after the script that does the transform. Jeff Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165075

    - logon script does not work anymore after applying SP2 Hello all, SP2 was applied to our XP PRO workstation. As a result, our logon script does not work any longer. Such script used to show a small IE window indicating the current logon process status. It seems that properties such title and scrollbar are no longer supported. I don't have the script at hand right now but I'll post it tomorrow. I can't believe we are the only ones noticing this problem.

Example: I want all user who have "Full Control" to be changed to "Modify". I have inherited a share drive with thousands of folders and groups. The people who set the permissions had the right intentions they just set them incorrectly. I appreciate anyone's help. Please let me know if this is in the wrong group.

    - Scripting IE Title Problem I have installed SP2 on my XP machine and I also downloaded and installed the WSH 5.6 upgrade. No problems at all! However, it took me awhile to notice that my VB scripts that use IE to display menus have a quirk: when I set the title in the html and do a 'write' operation that the displayed window now has "http://" prefixing my desired title. How do I get rid of the "http://" prefix in the title bar? Thanks in advance... Dick Sutton Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165059

    - Running VBScript in Outlook 2003 Hi, System Details: Windows XP Professional SP2, Outlook 2003 SP1, IE6 SP2. I have a Java appliaction that constructs a HTML Email and sends it to a mail client. In the HTML Email I have embeded some VBSCRIPT which is called via the ONCLICK event of an <A> tag. In the VBScript I create an XML document then mail it via the Outlook API. On Win2K and Outlook 2000 this worked fine but now, when I click the link in Outlook 2003, nothing happens (no "Cannot Create ActiveX" messages either) !!! I have tried putting the message into the Internet zone (with low security) and the same occurred. I replaced my script with a simple message box call and this never activates either. I've even tried the "One-off-form" registry hack, again to no avail. If I load the sent HTML into a browser it works OK so I am sure the syntax is right. Here is an example of the link and script... <a style="cursor:hand;color:green;text-decoration:underline" onclick="OpenNewMail('test','test')">OK</a> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"> Sub OpenNewMail(strAddress, strSubjectLine) MsgBox "In OpenNewMail" End Sub </SCRIPT> Can anyone suggest how I can get vbscript to work in a HTML email in Outlook 2003 (has anyone got it to work!)? Is there some sort of new METADATA setting to make the HTML Outlook 2003 friendly perhaps? Any help would be massively appreciated as this is driving me barmy!

    - Update Windows 2000 registery: Internet Settings: LAN Settings: Automatic Configuration I want to write a simple .VBS file that will change my LAN settings. In my Windows 2000, if I go to Internet Settings >> Connections >> LAN Settings, there is a section in the window called Automatic Configuration. There are two tick boxes: (1) Automatically Detect Settings (2) Use Automatic Configuration Script For some sites, I need only the first tick box checked. For some sites, I need only the second tick box checked. I never need both checked at once, or both unchecked at once. I want to write one VBS file that will check #1. And then a second VBS file to check #2. I was thinking I could use something similar to the following code: Dim WSHShell, RegLocate, RegLocate1 Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") On Error Resume Next RegLocate = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\ProxyByPass" WSHShell.RegWrite RegLocate,"0","REG_DWORD" WScript.Quit ...but I can't find the correct registry item to update.

    - Count Physical Processors: Exclude Hyperthreading..? Hi there I am currently using the following code snippet to retrieve the number of processors installed on my servers: Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strSrv & "\root\cimv2") Set colSettings = objWMI.ExecQuery _ ("Select Name, MaxClockSpeed from Win32_Processor") For Each objProcessor in colSettings Wscript.Echo strSrv & "," & colSettings.Count & "," & TRIM(objProcessor.Name) 'Wscript.Echo "MaxClockSpeed: " & objProcessor.MaxClockSpeed Exit For Next The problem with this, is that if a Server has Hyperthreading enabled, it reports twice the actual number of physicall processors. Does anyone perhaps know how I can establish whether Hyperthreading is enabled, so then at least I can divide by 2 to get the actual count. Or alternatively, is there a different object that I can query for this..? Thanks William R. Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165025

    - Message Box activation Hi, I have written a VBScript that uses Send Keys to automate an application. The application dials out to download files and this process of dialing out is initiated within the application. The issue I am having is that the modem occationally fails to dail out and as a result of this there is a message box which pops up resulting in the rest of send keys keystrokes going crazy. Is there a solution in VB which will check the activation of this message box once the send keys initiate the modem dialup and keep looping till around 5 min which will be the max time the modem will take to dialout. I need to add error handling so that only on the apperance of this message box which will indicate the failure of the modem to dailout will the Enter sendkey will be sent and the whole routine restarted.. Const iNormalFocus = 1 Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "FINAL.EXE",iNormalFocus Wscript.Sleep 10000 objShell.SendKeys "" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "" objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"R" objShell.SendKeys "D" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "R" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "S" #This is were the modem connection is initiated Wscript.Sleep 350000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" objShell.SendKeys "%"+"R" objShell.SendKeys "R" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "E" objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 100 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"A" objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "E" Wscript.Sleep 100 objShell.SendKeys "{DEL}" objShell.SendKeys "l" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "~" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" Wscript.Sleep 1000 objShell.SendKeys "%"+"F" objShell.SendKeys "X" Wscript.Sleep 10000 xor Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 165015

    - Starting a local script on remote machine The necessity to install XP-SP2 in a distributed fashion has led me to this quandry. First I could use a login script, but with more than 700 simultaneous connections to one shared drive I feel loading the SP would implode the server.

Now running the below script on a XP sp2 box logged in as Domain Admin to tell another XP box merely to open notepad.

    - Error Handling with Creating AD Users Hi guys, I'm having some troubles trying to use error handling in my vbscript. My script is to create users in Active Directory, and I want to catch errors like "object already exists" so I can dump a list of users that couldn't be created and so on. The way I've tried to do error handling is basically with an If statement that tests if Err.number <> 0. The problem is that it doesn't catch any of the errors... For example, say I try to create a user for the second time, so that I know it already exists. If I run the script (without "On Error Resume Next") in a command prompt, I get the output something like "C:\createusers.vbs (132, 2) (null): The object already exists." If I run it with "On Error Resume Next" the script just runs to completion without my error handling code being triggered at all. Here's the code. The error is for line 132, indicated. set objUser = parent.create("user", "cn=" & strUser) 132-> objUser.setinfo If Err.Number <> 0 Then Err.Clear Wscript.Echo "User " & strUser & " cannot be created" Wscript.Echo "User may already exist" End If It seems to me that the problem is that these errors have an Err.number of (null). Is that right? Why would that be the case? How can I get around this problem and catch these errors so I can do something with them?

    - Problem with globals in Outlook 2000 scripting Hi, I am having problems with accessing an object which I have set as global. In the Item_Open function I load up my MyCusts object. In the Item_CustomPropertyChange subroutine I try and access it and there is nothing in it. This works in Outlook 2003 VB scripting but not in Outlook 2000. Is there a way round this? Regards and thanks, Vic. ========================================================= set MyCusts = nothing Function Item_Open() ' set up general objects to use in accessing folders and fields set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI") set PubFolders = myNameSpace.Folders.item("Public Folders") ' open the clients folder Set AllPubs = PubFolders.Folders.item("Favorites") Set Clients = AllPubs.Folders.item("Clients") if Clients is nothing then msgbox "Cannot find clients folder",,"Appointment Form" exit function end if ' get the list of clients set MyCusts = Clients.Items . . . . .

    - Need to get list of Apps both installed and available/published - 3 days research - Nothing!! Please someone help me. I'm pulling my hair out trying to do this. 3 days concerted effort and nada... Basically what I am trying to achieve is to programatically get at the same information that shows in the Add/Remove Programs utility. Ultimately I want to do the following: 1. Determine what programs (GUID, Package/product Code) are installed and whether they are machine, user, published or assigned. 2. Determine what programs (GUID, Package/product Code) are available to be installed but are not currently - think group policy published apps using AD here. 3. Install selected apps from item 2 above. 4. Repair or do a remove and reinstall for selected apps from item 1 above. I've spent the last 3 days searching the web and the SDK without success. What I can do is get a list of only the installed software using: set obj = createobject("WindowsInstaller.Installer") Set products = obj.Products and the same thing by using: Set wbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\rsop\computer") Set wbemObjectSet = wbemServices.InstancesOf("RSOP_ApplicationManagementPolicySetting") and even tried: Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Product") But this does not give me the available (published) software, just the installed software. I have been investigating the following but cannot work out how to implement them. Maybe someone out there can put me out of my misery. MsiEnumProducts MsiGetProductInfo RSOP_ApplicationManagementCategory GetLocalManagedApplications Or using some other function, perhaps in GPMC. I am trying to do this in vbscript and the rest of the code will be (relativly) a breeze. Please, someone out there must have a better understanding of the VB objects/classes/functions/properties etc. Regards Chris Tag: what setting do I need to set the proxy in internet explorer Tag: 164952

    - Read a Registry Value when path contains Curly Braces Hi, Can anyone help me with reading a value from the registry when the path contains curly braces? For example... This code works... Dim WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\DECWeb") The result echoed back is the Word Parameters. However, if I use the following example... Dim WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\{1FC5FC09-D247-4164-BFE1-33916C06BE7F}\Parameters\Tcpip\IPAddress") ...I get a Type Mismatch Error (800A000D) I read somewhere that I should use chr(123) and chr(125) for the { and }, but how? If I change the last line to read as follows...I have the same problem. WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\" & chr(123) & "1FC5FC09-D247-4164-BFE1-33916C06BE7F" & chr(125) & "\Parameters\Tcpip\IPAddress") Does anyone know how to read this value from a path that contains curly braces?

Hi

Updating HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry settings is an option:
