    - a string within a string Hi, I need to use bcp, a command line utility installed with sqlserver, from my script. if I issue the following command at the command prompt it works: bcp "SELECT * FROM pubs..authors" queryout c:\Authors.txt -c -T. Note that the sql statment is quated. I tried to use bcp in the same way as I do with other command lines programs such as: oShell.Run "cmd /C IPconfig/all > ........" I fell to do so as I do not know how to address the fact that the sql statment is a string and the entire parameter passed to the Run method is also a string so there is actually a string inside a string.

    - Scripting DSMOVE DSQUERY and DSMOD help! (EASY?) Hi all, Im trying to create a batch file/vbs or whatever script that allows me to run these commands. Objective of script: To search the whole Active Directory for objects that are duplicated (search condition $DUPLICATES*), mark them as disabled and move them to an OU. If i put these following commands into command prompt one by one it works, but not when i put it into .cmd or .bat (due to the for loop and the variables) for /F "usebackq delims=""" %i in (`dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))"`) do dsmod user %i -disabled yes for /F "usebackq delims=""" %i in (`dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))"`) do dsmove %i -newparent ou=scheduled,dc=YOURDOMAIN,dc=com if I use the default piping for dsquery and dsmod it works fine however if i use dsquery piping with DSMOVE (if there are more than 1 objects to be moved) it failed! (crap) dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))" | dsmod user -disabled yes dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))" | dsmove -newparent ou=scheduled,dc=YOURDOMAIN,dc=com Anyone kind enough to mod this? :) Cheers!

    - Loading an image within an asp page I have had a lot of trouble with this, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to where I am going wrong. My asp is a simple image viewer, it lists all the photos in the directory, (1 for each astff member), has the facility to search, and when you click on the link corresponding to the staff member it should load the image in that page. Here are the code snips of what I have so far: **** Code Removed for viewing ****** <form method="GET" name="SearchPicture" action="default.asp"> <p style="margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt"> <input type="text" name="SearchString" value="<%=Request("SearchString")%>" size="45%"> <input type="image" name="staffImage" style="visibility: hidden; display: none" src="" border="0" align="right" width="32%" height="32%"></p> <p style="margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt"> <input type="submit" value="Search" name="B1"> <input type="submit" value="List All Staff" onclick="SearchString.value='';" name="B2"> <input type="button" value="Clear" onclick="SearchString.value='';" name="B3"></p> </form> <% Dim strPath 'Path of directory to show Dim objFSO 'FileSystemObject variable Dim objFolder 'Folder variable Dim objItem 'Variable used to loop through the contents of the folder strPath = "../Photos/" set objFSO = server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' Get a handle on our folder Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(strPath)) ' Loop through the files!

    - vb script to join domain I am trying to write a script that will open the computer name changes window in the system control panel. A friend gave the following: Option Explicit Dim oWS Set oWS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WScript.Sleep 5500 'Bring up the System Properties window oWS.run "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl,,1" WScript.Sleep 1000 'Bring up the computer name changes window oWS.SendKeys "%c" WScript.Sleep 1000 oWS.SendKeys "%d" WScript.Sleep 1000 oWS.SendKeys "{Tab}" WScript.Sleep 500 oWS.SendKeys "test.local" WScript.Sleep 500 oWS.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Set oWS = nothing The problem is the system properties window loses focus and the rest of the commands don't register. Is there a way to directly bring up the computer name changes window? Or is there a way to make the System Properties window the focus? Thanks, Jason Tag: How to write the WMI Asset Tag Tag: 162744

    - Unintentional ascii 0 (nulls) when creating file with FSO? I'm creating files on an IIS 5.0 web server, and when I create files with the FileSystemObject, it creates files that have ASCII 0's as every other character. For example, if I TextStream.Write("Hello"), the resulting file has: (gibberish) H (null) e (null) l (null) l (null) o (null) In a text editor, the output looks fine, like "Hello". In a hex editor, the file looks like this: FF FE 48 00 65 00 6C 00 6C 00 6F 00 Anyone have an idea what's going on? It's driving me nuts... I'm not sure where the "FF FE" comes from either.

    - Kill processes and services I'd like to creating a small vbs file to kill a short list of processes/tasks and services before installing other software.

    - regular expressions I'm back with something that makes no sense to me .... as far as I can see the three if statements are identical except for the input. One is the regular phone, then cell phone and then the fax ..... function validForm( passform) { << other validation skipped >> re = /^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/ validPhone = re.exec(passForm.fldPhone.value); if ( validPhone ) { passForm.fldPhone.value = "(" + validPhone[1] + ") " + validPhone[2] + "-" + validPhone[3]; } else { errList += " a valid phone number\n"; if (!hasError) { passForm.fldPhone.focus(); hasError = true; } } if ( passForm.fldCell.length > 0) { recell = /^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/ validCell = recell.exec(passForm.fldCell.value); if ( validCell ) { passForm.fldCell.value = "(" + validCell[1] + ") " + validCell[2] + "-" + validCell[3]; } else { errList += " if entered the cell must be a valid phone number\n"; if (!hasError) { passForm.fldCell.focus(); hasError = true; } } } if ( passForm.fldFax.length > 0) { refax = /^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/ validFax = refax.exec(passForm.fldFax.value); if ( validFax ) { passForm.fldFax.value = "(" + validFax[1] + ") " + validFax[2] + "-" + validFax[3]; } else { errList += " if entered the fax must be a valid phone number\n"; if (!hasError) { passForm.fldFax.focus(); hasError = true; } } } << handle the error and redirect to the next form >> } THey shouldbe identical since I copied the first one and made the requisit changes for the cell and fax. However the output (as show in the session variables into which they are stashed) Session("svPersonPhone") = Request.Form("fldPhone") Session("svPersonCell") = Request.Form("fldCell") Session("svPersonFax") = Request.Form("fldFax") show up as follows: SVPERSONZIPCODE - 123451234 SVPERSONPHONE - (123) 123-1234 SVPERSONCELL - 4564564567 <<== notice not formatted ... SVPERSONFAX - 7897987890 SVPERSONEMAIL - initially the regular expressions were all just 're' then when I started looking at this I changed them to 'recell' and 'refax' on the off chance that there might be a funny in re-using a regular expression. as always other comments are appreciated, but please also address this issue.

    - Editing an Access table from VBscript? I'm looking for a way to read from and write to a table within an MS-Access database. I'll explain why I need this. In my company, I want to keep a logfile of the computers that have logged into the network. If the computername is not in a list, I want the user to enter some information on a popup screen, about the location of the computer (room-number). Once the computername is in the list, the script should continue without the user noticing. It should then only write the current date and time. Would this be possible with Vbscript? Wouter.

    - vbscript and IIS Hi, I've got the following task to do: I need to check various settings of a website files on IIS. This mainly involves type of access (anonymous, basic authentication etc.) Up to now I've done it manually, I opened inetmgr, browsed to my website and than I manually checked file by file, security settings. Now, since the task is rather tedious, I thought about a script which would do this for me, but I'm not really sure how. I am dimly aware of things like ADSI, but I don't have any experience with it. Could anyone provide any example, how for instance I can check if the anonymous access has been set for given aspx file?! Thanks, Piotrek Tag: How to write the WMI Asset Tag Tag: 162703

    - Run ASP Script as Scheduled Job Hi All, I want to perform the simple task of running an ASP script as a scheduled job. Previously I've always either run a .vbs script via windows Scheduler, or put some logic in my global.asa, both of which have worked fine. Unfortunately there are technical reasons (too complicated to go into here) which mean I can't use either the global.asa or a standalone vbs script for this job. It really does have to be an .asp script running in the application space. Running a scheduled job that runs the command "explorer http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.asp" does the job, but will leave a new window open every day, which will cause problems when sat on a remote server. (self.close() at the end of the script just gives the "app trying to close window" message and leaves window open) Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to achieve this on a W2K server ? Some kind of opening IE, running script, closing IE via VBS maybe ? Any help much appreciated, Regards, Larry. Tag: How to write the WMI Asset Tag Tag: 162664

    - RecordCount Property Hi: I have code that does two separate queries via ADO and then prints out the results. The first query is standard and if no records are returned it prints nothing as expected. The second query contains a SUM function in the query and if there are zero records I get the following error: Error Type: (0x80020009) Exception occurred. I tried using the RecordCount property which is returning -1. I've seen articles about this but didn't want to test it because I didn't feel I should need to test for zero records. BTW, I am using Access and we're only talking about 30 records at the most at a time here. Thanks, Blair Tag: How to write the WMI Asset Tag Tag: 162654

    - VBScript to fix file names of downloaded web page Friends, I usually download any interesting web page I come upon. I do not expect to be able to find it a second time and I do want to make sure I can get at it when I have enough time to read it. With my current financial condition I never know how long I will have an Internet connection. I usually save the downloaded pages and files to a CD-ROM. This presents a problem because the CD-ROM has file name length limits that are often exceeded by page names. This is accerbated by the need for associated files from a like named folder. This program allows the user to modify the page name. The program will create a new page with the new name, a new folder with the correct name and references in the new page pointing to files in the new folder. It does not affect the current page or folder. This is my first version. I expect to create a new version which will be easier to use and overcome the limitations of this version. Until then you may find this unteresting if not useful.

    - STRING: Missing characters I have a string named "email" that contains a new registering user email address. My CSR receives an account request with the information that was stored in a SQL table. Upon verifying the users profile, my CSR activates the new user account and in the process, my script sends an account activation message to the user (as stored in the "email" variable). The outgoing message is simple and the "email" variable is correct in the "to" address. But, in the body of the message, I have placed a link which allows the user to login to their account that contains the "email" address variable (the same one used in the "to" field) and it is somehow different. The difference being ONLY when the email address contains a period "." in the name section. Example; "first.last@myweb.com" ...produces "firstlast@myweb.com". The period between "first" and "last" just drops off? Of course, the email address is incorrect and when the user clicks the link and supplies their password, logging in is unsuccessful. Any ideas?

    - Calculating elapsed time I am attempting to write a function that calculates the elapsed time to download a page from the server. I use the MSXML2.XMLHTTP object to GET a web page (in synchronous mode) and note the time before and afterwards. However, the difference between these values is generally = 0 which obviously can't be quite right. The web page has instructions not to be cached. The VBScript code is as follows - please point out where you think that I've gone wrong. Thanks in advance.

    - session variables ((This is a repeat of a message I wrote earlier which seems to not have made its way out -- it will, of course propogate its way across the net while I'm typing this one .... )) This is probably in the wrong group, but since you all have been so helpful, here goes anyway. the following code is the end of a routine which stashes data from one form off to session variables and then redirects itself to the proper form / procedure depending upon the state of two checkboxes. It work properly as it stands. Session("svPersoncbBoats") = Request.Form("cbBoats") Session("svPersoncbFlood") = Request.Form("cbFlood") if (Session("svPersoncbAuto") = "checkbox" ) then ' if cbAuto is schecked this infact contains 'checkbox' ??? Response.Redirect("auto.asp") ' it appears to since this works right else if (Session("svPersoncbHomeOwner") = "checkbox") then Response.Redirect("HomeOwner.asp") end if Response.Redirect("PersonMail.asp") end if however, I get to the following code where I'm preparing the email to the office: Body = Body & "They have indicated interest in the following coverage:" & vbcrlf ' the next two lines are displays so I can see what's really in the session variables .... not! Body = Body & "Session(svcbHomeOwner) [" & Session("svcbHomeOwner") & "]" & vbcrlf Body = Body & "Session(svcbAuto) [" & Session("svcbAuto") & "]" & vbcrlf if Session("svcbHomeOwner") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & " Homeowner coverage (see below)" & vbcrlf if Session("svcbAuto") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & " Automotive (see below)" & vbcrlf if Session("svcbTenants") = "checkbox" then Body = Body & " Tenant coverage" & vbcrlf the out put from this looks like: They have indicated interest in the following coverage: Session(svcbHomeOwner) [] Session(svcbAuto) [] Notice nothing between the brackets which would seem to indicate they are empty or non-literal - after I compared them to the literal 'checkbox' above. How should I really be handling this?? What is the default value returned by a checked / unchecked checkbox (using dreamweaver, btw) the 'value' clause says 'checkbox' and I've been operating under the assumption that if the box is checked it will return that value, if not a null <???>. Final comment, the timing factor for a session variable <default of 20 minutes ??> should not be a factor as I filled out the two pages I chose in less than 10 minutes by thee computer clock.

Hi there!
the code snippet
---
strComputerName = "."
strWinMgt = "winmgmts://" & strComputerName & ""
Set compsysset = GetObject(strWinMgt).ExecQuery("select * from
Win32_SystemEnclosure")

For Each CompSys In compsysset
MsgBox CompSys.SMBIOSAssetTag
Next
---
gives me the WMI Asset Tag.
Is there a way to (over)write this value? As far as I see it is built in in
the computer by the manufacturer, but I would like to use it to store the
Asset Number of the PC from our Asset Management Database...

Hi

Updating BIOS from inside Windows is not possible (unless your
motherboard/BIOS manufacturer have come up with something ingenious):
