Hello,

currently putting together a vbscript that is piping input to diskpart.exe
(from within winPE). It uses the WshScriptExec object with is sending input
commands just fine. The problem I'm having is that even know I'm piping the
'exit' command to diskpart it does not exit... I still see it's process
running in taskmgr... so my script loops infinitely waiting for that
WshScriptExec.Status to change from 0, which it doesn't since diskpart does
not exit. After I manually kill the task with taskmgr, my script breaks out
of the loop as expected.

We have vbscript that will shell out and exectue command that load
transaction log to SQL Anywhere. The DOS command line:

"%%SQLANY10%%\win32\dbeng10" E:\DbName.db -ek "EncryptionKey" -ad
"e:\TransactionLogDir" -o LogFile

Since SQLANY10 is the system var. (location where SQL Anywhere install)
when the program run we got this error:

'E:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,operable program or batch file.

We relized that SQLANY10=E:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 10 and the
program will not run. How do we get around this issue?

LoadTransLogCmd = """%%SQLANY10%%\win32\dbeng10"" E:\DbName.db -ek
""EncryptionKey"" -ad ""e:\LogFilesDir"" -o E:\LogFile.txt"
RunCmd = "%%comspec%% /k " & LoadTransLogCmd & ""
objShell.Run(RunCmd), 1, TRUE
WScript.Quit

Hello:

I have to push a reg update out and am looking for ideas on the best approach. We have Altiris, so I can use that, but should I make a VBS for this or should I just use the .reg file? What about a bat file with the reg command?

Below is my .reg file, which I can convert to VBS or a reg command. This update is specific to the currently logged on user and only needs to be run once.

; Based on instructions from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319206

; This reg file will add the Closest GC value to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider

; The value will force Outlook to identify and use the closest GC for its GAL.

; To Use: Run this reg file while logged on as the end user (since the value is specific to the current user's registry).

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider]

"Closest GC"=dword:00000001

Thank you.

I need to do change managment on our print servers. Other than Events, are
changes tracked?

I'm looking for a way to get the version of each SQL Server instances
installed locally on a server.
Does anybody know the best way of doing that?

Thanks,

G'day all
I've hobled a script together from the MS examples but it's not working.
I want to create a list of groups in an OU.
I run the script and it asks for the input and then does nothing.

------start script--------

On Error Resume Next

Dim OrgUnit, GroupName, fso, f, objOU, objGroup

Const ADS_GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL_GROUP = &h2
Const ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED = &h80000000

GroupName = InputBox("Enter the name of the Group Name you wish to create")

Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=Workstation
Groups,ou=Workstations,dc=int,dc=dept,dc=gov")
Set objGroup = objOU.Create("Group", "cn=ChairmanWS")

objGroup.Put "sAMAccountName", "HRStaff"
objGroup.Put "groupType", ADS_GROUP_TYPE_GLOBAL_GROUP Or _
ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED
objGroup.SetInfo

------start script--------

I've seen the examples with

LDAP://cn=MyerKen,ou=Management,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com

but it's only one account, I have a whole OU full of accounts whose group
memberships I need to clear (Domain Users excepted of course). I know I
can't modify the user account I have to modify the group, because memberof
is backlinked, but is there a way to essentially loop through the actions of
the one account and its group memberships, then move to the next user
account and repeat?

Any help appreciated

The reason for this is my company recently got hit with a virus that created
a file in the user's startup folder called Iexplore.exe. Of course, it
wasn't the real Iexplore.exe and when launched it did nefarious thoings to
the system. This was in spite of the fact that we had Antivirus running on
the system. In order to prvent this from happening in the future, I want to
create software restriction policies that will only allow the "true"
Iexplore.exe to run, and will do this by using a hash rule. This will be a
backup of sorts, to my Antivirus. Of course I need to test this and by
doing so I created a batch file that simply launches Iexplore.exe (start
Iexplore.exe). But it's named Iexplore.bat and I need to rename it to
Iexplore.exe in order to test my software restriction...

Gurus,

I am trying to change just the SourcePath value in my Windows Server 2003
Registry via script. I want to change it from it's current value to
"D:\ENGLISH\WIN2003\32BIT\ENT_WITH_SP1\I386". What kind of simple script
would enable me to change just that one value? The path to that is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.

I have an application that I need to import all the MAC addresses for all
hostnames into. I haven't found a way other than to an nbtstat -a
COMPUTERNAME. Of course the only issue with that one is the machines have to
be powered on to get a result. Is there any way to extract the MAC address
from DHCP?

Thank You,
