I need to enumerate all users within an OU that have mailboxes. Then I need to check the ACL's on those mailboxes for any users that are listed but do not have full control of the mailbox.

    - Creating an Outlook Task with VB Script The following code fragment comes from here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/officetips/sept05/tips0908.mspx Const olTaskItem = 3 Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set objTask = objOutlook.CreateItem(olTaskItem) objTask.Subject = "Script Center Master Plan" objTask.Body = "Final report for Script Center master plan." objTask.ReminderSet = True objTask.ReminderTime = #12/12/2007 09:00 AM# objTask.DueDate = #12/12/2007 10:00 PM# objTask.Save It successfully creates an Outlook Task Item. Unfortunately it appears to have major flaw: The Due Time and the ReminderTime can be set for appointments that are in the past or on the current day but not for those that are in the future. For future dates it gets set to the Outlook "Working Day" default (e.g. to 08:00). Does anyone know how to get around this problem? Or how to create a "Reminder" instead of a "Task".

    - VBScript Regular Expression Hi, I am putting together a quick (I hoped...) ASP page using VBScript to parse some data, add some stuff up, and display it to a user. Unfortunately, I had to whip the page together that took that data in a big hurry and some fields were left blank. Now when I parse the data, these empty fields are causing an error. Also, some people put characters in where there were supposed to be numbers. Bad job on developing the page to take the data on my part. However, I am trying to just check to see if something is NOT a number, and replace it with a 0. This will be fine for my needs. I am getting zero matches on the regular expression! Forgive me, I am not used to doing these in VBScript but have used regex in Perl and JavaScript. I am not sure if I am just messing up or if it is a VBScript nuance. Set regExNum = New RegExp regExNum.Pattern = "\D" q1 = Split(record(fieldCount), ",") for k=0 to UBOUND(q1) if regExNum.Test(q1(k)) then q1(k) = 0 end if next I am getting zero matches on this. For example, on particular instance is an empty space that was not filled in and it is crashing my select statement. I am getting a false on the comparison so the replacement never takes place. Thanks for any suggestions. Tag: Run VBS with Administrative Rights Tag: 212856

I need to start with an empty array, and start filling it with two dimension data like: Row 1, Column 1 = mailbox.LegacyDN Row 1, Column 2 = mailbox.ServerName Row 1, Column 3 = mailbox.LastLogonTime Row 1, Column 4 = mailbox.Size Row 2, Column 1 = mailbox.LegacyDN Row 2, Column 2 = mailbox.ServerName Row 2, Column 3 = mailbox.LastLogonTime Row 2, Column 4 = mailbox.Size and so on... and after gathering all mailboxes informations on all Exchange Servers, I will be able to match Active Directory Users by seeking this table for the corresponding ExchangeLegacyDN. Actually, I'm defining the array with Dim aMailboxes(), and adding data to it by using the REDIM PRESERVE, but where I'm really confused, it is how the REDIM the two dimension and after that, assigning values to the new Row added... someone expert or familiar with that could help me?

    - Apply multiple attributes to in-line onmouseover/out I've been looking around and I can't find an example of the following anywhere. Just a syntax question really; in an HTA the following changes the font style and size on mouse over/out: <div onmouseover="me.style.font='16pt Arial'" onmouseout="me.style.font='10pt ''Times New Roman'''">Example text.</div> If I wanted to use IN-LINE arguments in the above example to also change the font color and background color onmouseover and onmouseout, how would this be done? Could someone please add these attributes to my example DIV above so that it works? Thanks much in advance. Tag: Run VBS with Administrative Rights Tag: 212770

    - I want an argument, but "Scheduled Tasks" just ignores me Hi, I'm trying to automate some tasks using VBS WSH scripts. Although they seem to see/handle any arguments passed when run via the command prompt, the arguments are apparently not making it through when the same script is run as a scheduled task. Here's a very simple script showing the problem:- If WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then WScript.Echo WScript.Arguments(0) Else WScript.Echo "No" End If When I run this via the command line:- M:\>test.vbs argument I get the expected response "argument". When I create a scheduled task that contains this line in the "Run:" box:- M:\test.vbs argument I get the response "no". Putting quotes around "M:\test.vbs" or around "argument" makes no difference. If I try running a non-WSH script via scheduled tasks (e.g. invoking GVIM with the name of a file as the first argument), it sees the argument works fine. So what's happening? Any help appreciated, thanks! - Triffid Tag: Run VBS with Administrative Rights Tag: 212768

    - File Copy with ouput to log I want to say thank you to first to anyone who can help this novice! ;O) ...very novice at scripting I need a script that can perform a file copy, and output info to a log. I have approximately 4000 CD's I need to copy to a local hard drive. In the process I need to keep track of how much time it takes to copy each CD which consist of one file to multiple files and folders. I also need to verify the Checksums against each other with MD5sum.exe. Optimaly I would like to create a log file that is appended each time with all that information. Here are the steps of what I am envisioning: Create folder: d:\location\new_folder_name (from user input) copy file(s): copy e:\* d:\location\new_folder_name Checksum: md5sum d:\location\new_folder_name\* Output to logfile: ******************************************** new_folder_name Original file MD5 (or even if possible something like Copy MD5 MD5 = verified as an output from Total time for the process = hh:mm:ss checking them both) ******************************************** This doesn't seem like it would be a particularly tough script but I have so little experience I can't figure it out. If anyone has something like this I would be very grateful. If not and it is a simple thing to do I would love it it you could put something together for me with notes (a little lesson if you will). Thank you very much for any help. Rob Hepp Tag: Run VBS with Administrative Rights Tag: 212766

    - conditionally Unchecking a check box Hello, I'm reviewing some existing code and need help confirming what I see. The code I'm looking at is similar to the following: if chk_01.checked = true then chk_01.click() 'clear the checkbox and hide text area end if This does not seem to be working. I substituted the code with the following: chk_01.checked = false At the point that this code runs, I already have the controls bound to existing data and based on a condition, I want to force the check box to an unchecked state. Any insight on whether the .click() is appropriate and some security settings are probably to blame or if this should never have worked would be very helpful.

    - creating "runas" shortcut through vb script Good afternoon. Currently I have to give all my users admin rights on their machines for the sake of a few programs, so I've started playing around with runas. Specifically I want a script that will create a shortcut for a given program that runs it with different credentials. I've been piecing bits of code together, and so far I've arrived at the below script which creates the shortcut on my desktop, but for whatever reason I can not get the application path correct. It insists on putting a leading quote in the path name no matter what I do. Should be: runas /user:<my domain>\<the user> "<some program file path>" Getting instead: "runas /user:<my domain>\<the user> "<some program file path>"" I've tried many iterations of the strAppPath line, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    - Profile Rebuild Script Hi, I've seen some impressive scripts for profiles and assigning permissions etc. I am after something a little more simple (hopefully!). Just a scfipt to copy user settings from an old profile to a new profile. Prior to launching the script, the userprofile folder is manually renamed from "Username.Domain" to "_oldUsername.Domain", and a new profile manually created. A script when launched, will ask for the username, and once inputed will copy over user settings from their old profile to their new, for example:- _oldUsername.Domain\Favourites copied to Username.Domain\Favourites and so on. I'm no good with vb scripting, but would like to be able to easily modify what settings to copy over (Desktop shortcuts, Templates etc etc.). Many Thanks as always for any responses! :o) Tag: Run VBS with Administrative Rights Tag: 212683

    - Bizarre AT scheduling behaviour Here is some Thanksgiving weirdness. Maybe someone has some comments: If you schedule a task in a simple way with AT (e.g. AT 16:42 cmd "/K dir"), after it runs, it will delete itself. Now it might be the case that I want to schedule a task (with AT) and have it run right away. I could schedule the task for the next minute (e.g. it is 10:03:23 so I would schedule the task for 10:04. AT and SchTasks granularity is to the minute, at least on Win XP). But suppose that I am an impatient type of individual, begrudging those wasted seconds. In that case, I would do the following: AT 16:42 cmd "/C" dir => I get back a task id, say 29. And then, Schtasks /run /tn 29 => task runs immediately. Nifty. Now here's the bizzaro behaviour. If the task has been scheduled for less than about 60 seconds from now, it will be automatically deleted after the second line! Otherwise, the task sticks around and will be run (again) at the indicated time. If you right click on the tasks scheduled with AT in the above fashion, it says, "Delete the task if it is not scheduled to run again." So I would really like to understand the exact circumstances under which this mysterious deletion is occurring. Ie. comments are welcome. Interesting, but not bizarro behaviour: In keeping with the "Impatient Script" theme... What I actually wanted was for the task to be deleted after I had forced a run on it with Schtasks. So, after that Schtasks line, I did: AT 29 /delete Of course I did so programmatically with two invocations of WScript.Shell's Run command. The task never executed! Further investigation revealed that the first command executed just fine and SchTasks reported success for the immediate run. Trouble is, by the time the responsible agency actually got around to running the task, that following AT command had deleted it. By a sufficient delay (of half a second!) I was able to execute and then delete the task. But I don't like arbitrary delays, so what I wound up doing was scheduling another task to delete the first one, a fitting if not the most elegant of ends (not elegant because the subsequent task might have to wait up to a minute to dispatch its victim).

Is there a command line way to get the same data that you get when you right click on a directory on a DFS share, select Properties and click the DFS tab? If so, can it be done from command-line or script utilizing built-in utilities or a method from a DLL that can be called from a command line or vbscript? If not, is a lightweight utility or object available?

Hi all.

I am currently writing a script that unregisters a DLL at login for
students but the user needs Administrative rights to perform the
operation which we obviously do not want to do. Is there way that I
can make the script run at logon so they have aministrative rights.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Startup scripts run with System privileges on the local computer. You could
unregister the dll in a Startup script.
