Hello; I am a summer intern working on an IT admin page for our helpdesk.
One of the requested features of this page was the ability to map network
drives by specifying the machine/user, the path to the network share, and the
drive to map to. I originally posted this question in ASP.NET/VB forums, but
I was told to ask in a WMI forum for help to update user profiles to perform
this. I could probably generate something that works on the web server
without a problem, but how could I get these scripts to run on other
computers?

Trying to learn how to call a web service from script. I know we can
use the XMLHttpRequest object to invoke a call. But I don't know how
to initiate the call, and also pass arguments to my web method. The
web method is as defined below C#:

[WebMethod]
public string FahrenheitToCelcius(string fahrenheit)
{
Double fahr;
if ((fahrenheit.Trim().Length == 0) ||
Double.TryParse(fahrenheit.Trim(), out fahr) == false)
{
return "Error";
}
else
return string.Format("{0}", ((fahr - 32) / 9) * 5);
}

It is converts fahrenheit to celcius. The argument is a string. How
can I call this web method and also receive its output?

Hi folks,

I was wondering if there was a way to disable (several) devices via VBS.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Greets,
GP

I have a VBS script that is used as a schuled job via windows
scheduler.
Is there a command that I can put in the script that will enable
debugging mode/verbose.
The script is not making an ftp connection, I need to find out why. I
do check for return codes but it never reaches that point.

thanks

Hi all,

How can I execute a WSH program from html file? The wsh program is
stored in a .js file. I tried to include the .js file as usual:


But it didn't work.
The wsh itself works just fine when I double click on it.
Could you help me out?

Hi all,

I am a totally newbie in WSH. My program is in .js file but uses
wscript object. It works well but everytime when I minimize the
program window, it disappears. There is no icon at the bottom of my
screen for me to pop it up again.

How come this happens?
How should I fix it?

I'm using a script from Frans Erich to filter AD groups, select a AD group
and make a list of its users that incorporated Tom Lavedas's Selection Box
code from his URL http://members.cox.net/tglbatch/wsh/index.shtml

It seems that the script is not closing out the IE object. After I run a
script that uses it, I can still see iexplorer.exe in the task manager's
Processes window.

I tried adding a line to set the IE object to Nothing, but that did not
solve the problem. Is there a way to explicitly end the process?

Hi scripting geniuses. I'm looking for a script that i could just
double-click that would save me a TON of time every day. I have a list of
servers that i need the following info for for each drive letter on each
server: free disk space, %% free disk space (free disk space/total disk
space). I also have a flaky Microsoft Server 2003 cluster which i would LOVE
if the script could also tell me which cluster resource groups are on which
node. This would tell me if something went bump in the night and i need to
look into it. any and all help is appreciated, maybe i could even start
leaving work on time if this script saves me time, haha.

Hello,

quick scenario: I have experience with batch files, vbscript/wsh, bash shell
scripting, and vb.net/c#.net programming. None of which do I do everyday.
Over the years I have used these things to accomplish tasks or solve
problems as needed. I am about to move into a position where automation in
general will be key. Server deployment will be the primary area utilizing
Windows Automated Deployment Services and later System Center Configuration
Manager. So its time for me to update myself on the options out there now
for scripting for deployment and ongoing administration purposes.

1) what to focus on first? stick with vbscript/WSH, pull in WMI when needed
or do I not bother refreshing and updating myself on that and go right to
powershell/WMI?

2) I've used Visual Studio 2005 for some app development and noticed it has
support for WSH projects which I assume means all the great features of that
IDE will be available for WSH projects such as autocompletion and
documentation with examples at your fingertips. I'm also assuming getting VS
2005 only for scripting may be overkill. What options are out there now as
far as code editors that may have similar features to VS 2005 only just for
scripting?
