Right now I manually handle the reservations for the hostnames in DHCP. I
was wonderign if there was a way to automate this process. Meaning as soon
as a lease is assigned it is automatically reserved by default.
Thanks.

This is the proper syntax to run this program:
"C:\Program Files\Eraser\Eraserl.exe" -file "C:\Program Files\PBC
\pbc.mdb" -method "Gutmann"

I would like to run it in a wsh script like this:

Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

ws.Run "C:\Program Files\Eraser\Eraserl.exe" -file "C:\Program Files
\PBC\pbc.mdb" -method "Gutmann"

BUT I can't get the syntax correct. Any ideas how to make this
work.

Thanks,
TD

G'day all
We have a requirement to report on what is printed in the office.
We have a dedicated 2003 server hosting our printers.
The information I need is logged in the system log.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of an example script to report
on this
info so we can identify who is printing to where
and how much etc.
We would probably want to run a report each day about the previous day.
Then the "Print Nazi's" can execute the guilty.
regards
Mark

Hi,

One of the big strengths of scripting WSH / COM was that you could
guarantee it would work on ANY Windows box without having to manage
component versions across hundreds/thousands of machines. This could be
useful for things like Logon Scripts, and essential for certain types of
remote management that are not exposed via DCOM such as MSIEXEC and WUA.
To run those tasks against thousands of machines you'd need execute the
script locally, but triggered from the remote box, and pipe the output
back to the admin box or a centralized logging station. It was never an
issue because it was all built-in from Win2k onwards. An other aspect to
this is being able to copy a script to a remote box and then enable it
to run on a schedule.

To me, it was a reason why PERL was never a good option for Windows;
you'd have to maintain it across hundreds/thousands of machines.

Now with PowerShell v2 the scripts can be remotable. The first question
to ask is why it's even needed?

Logon Scripts?
Scheduled tasks?
Components that can't be remoted?

Good morning,

I'm writing a VBS script for Windows XP and Server 2003. The script uses the
Run method to call a "Net Start" command, to start a service. This command
returns an integer error code, but I can't find anywhere to tell me what
these return codes mean.

I know that 0 indicates success, and I suspect that 2 indicates that the
service was already running, but I can't find anything to confirm this.

Thanks

I having problems to connect a server 2003+SP2 with WMI. I'm an
administrator.
But work fine with servers 2003+SP1.

Anybody know something??????

Some time ago, I got a script in this discussion group that works all right
for my needs: it takes a .txt document (named "lines.txt"), prompts for a
line number, and puts the corresponding line in the clipboard, so that I can
put it any where I want (any Web page, any text document, as the new name of
a folder or file, etc...) just by pressing Ctrl+V. I use it repeatedly, in
one run session, alternating between the script and the page I want to past
in (using Alt+Tab, for the purpose of alternating tasks).
Now, I think that a change to the script could be useful: as, in the most of
the cases, after having pasted a line I will need to past the next line of
"Lines.txt" ( that is, the lines are taken sequentially, from the first line
to the last line), the script could be changed so...

I am having one heck of a time trying to use the wdGoToBookmark method.

In summary I have hundreds of change documents (in MS Word) to create.
With few exceptions, they are all identical. Each will have a unique
filename based on the computer name it is in reference to. I have a
VBScript nearly fully functioning except for one small thing...

This script needs to:

1. Copy the source document as a new filename
2. Open the new document
3. Find and replace several segments of text
4. Go to the end of the document and insert a screenshot image file.

In this case the document size/length will not change, but I may need
this to work in other documents where the length of the document may be
variable. My thought was to insert a MS Word Bookmark in the document
at the end where the image will be inserted and then goto that bookmark
and insert the image before closing the document.

I have sought out examples of using the wdGoToBookmark method and cannot
seem to adapt any of the examples I have found to work properly in my
script. I suspect it is something stupid silly I am messed up on. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
