Occasional problems with CDO (which are resolved by reseting windows) - vb6

I'm using the following code to send emails.
Sometimes (once or twice a month) emails are not being sent, but I don't get an error, it's the receiver who informs me that he didn't receive the email.
If I turn off the computer and turn it on again, there is no problem.
Any ideas?
The same happens in Windows 10 or Windows 7...

VB script to scan latest log file for errors

I have a VB script which scans the mentioned log file for errors and sends a notification through an email.
How can I scan the latest log file in the folder? For example, Filename1.070615 (Filename1.mmddyy) is a log file. After a certain size, the logfile switches to new file with the same name but different date: Filename1.070615.

It would be a bit easier if your log files were named filename1.yymmdd.
Nevertheless, we can use a regex to not only verify the filename but also swap the date components to put them in our desired format!
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = "^(filename1\.)(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})$"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For Each objFile In fso.GetFolder("d:\log").Files
If re.Test(objFile.Name) Then
strCompareName = re.Replace(objFile.Name, "$1$4$2$3")
If strCompareName > strLatest Then strLatest = strCompareName
End If
Next
' Switch the name back...
strLatest = re.Replace(strLatest, "$1$3$4$2")
WScript.Echo "The latest file is: " & strLatest
This line:
strCompareName = re.Replace(objFile.Name, "$1$4$2$3")
changes the format from mmddyy to yymmdd and saves it in a string for comparison.
Once we've finished our comparisons, we just need to take the latest file we found and reverse the process:
strLatest = re.Replace(strLatest, "$1$3$4$2")
to get the original filename back!

VBScript password change email error

Apologies in advance for any incorrect terminology (I am a PC Tech, not a developer/programmer).

Obviously I removed our info from the script for this post.
The errors are that:
It does not send an email everyday if the user does not change their password for a few days. It sends them randomly.
A few random users, if they have not changed their password, around the 5th or 6th day will start getting hundreds of thousands of emails in just a few seconds, completely locking down Outlook on their computer. If they change the password they stop getting them (obviously).
Is there something I'm missing or need to remove from this script to get it to at least stop sending so many emails at once?
Thank you.
A couple of ideas to help you track down the problem.
Only have on error resume next before the command that needs it oUser.PasswordLastChanged, after that line on error goto 0 Then run the script manually and you'll have a better chance of finding some statement that is failing. update - should store the value in a variable and use
Get consistent with what variables are for. whenpasswordexpires is set to text in one part of the if err.number and a date in the other. It's then used as a date to calculate days and finally set whenpasswordexpires = nothing treats it like an object. This could mean some of your if statements are erroring and just going to the next line, instead of skipping the if - so people might be getting mailed when they shouldn't.
Consider calculating a date to pass to the LDAP query and only return people to be emailed - instead of going through all users all the time
(without ever having much to do with LDAP queries) I think your current query simplifies down to ldapStr = "<LDAP://" & DomainContainer & ">;(& (mailnickname=*)(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user));adspath;subtree" all the ors and ands with homeMDB and msExchHomeServerName would seem to mean any combination is included. It's probably worth running your query in an LDAP explorer tool to check you're really getting what you want.
LDAP often has a limit of the number of records returned, so you might be erroring all the time because you get more than 1000 (typical) records returned. This can be worked around by getting data in smaller pages (say 250).
Logging to a new file each time may hide issues from you, e.g if the task is restarted by scheduler. Much easier to diagnose if there is just one log per day. You also don't close the log file correctly - should be objLogFile.Close (not logfile.Close). You aren't putting the log in a subdirectory of the scripts folder (e.g. scripts & scripts\logs) but at the same level (e.g. scripts & scriptsLogs)
The logfile not objLogFile issue highlights why it is best to put Option Explicit at the top of your code. This means you have to dim every variable that you use, which can be a pain to do, but ensures that you don't have typos in your variable names which can cause you massive headaches.
The WScript.Quit is the very last line, so won't do anything - the codes about to finish anyway. If you ever want to abort the execution of script, the WScript.Quit needs to where you want to abort from - normally within some if statement.
There are a number of repeated calculations... days, dtmValue + dblMaxPwdDays, etc. I just mention this as it makes the code harder to read and therefore harder to understand what might be wrong.
All that said, I've probably made too many comments now for you to really comprehend without me just making the changes and posting updated script for you to try.
See if this version runs error free for you...

Gmail is on 465 and not enough is specified.
Here's working code
Set emailObj = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
emailObj.From = "d#gmail.com"
emailObj.To = "d#gmail.com"
emailObj.Subject = "Test CDO"
emailObj.TextBody = "Test CDO"
emailObj.AddAttachment "c:\windows\win.ini"
Set emailConfig = emailObj.Configuration
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = true
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "d"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "Password1"
emailConfig.Fields.Update
emailObj.Send

I have received this error before, and for me it was the security rights between one computer and another. it will be worth checking the access rights on the two machines and see if there are differences.

VBS Retrieve Computer OU from AD and OU Case Statement to Perform Action

I have this piece of code from the ScriptIT guys.
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
strComputer = objSysInfo.ComputerName
Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strComputer)
arrOUs = Split(objComputer.Parent, ",")
arrMainOU = Split(arrOUs(0), "=")
wscript.echo arrMainOU(1)
The problem I'm having is that arrMainOU(1) echoes the OU twice. I tried setting up a simple test, but it fails. I don't see this issue covered here or on google.
If arrMainOU(1) = "myOU" Then
wcript.echo "true"
End If
I need to compare 1 value within arrMainOU(1) to an array that contains OU strings. I need a case statement that performs actions depending on whether it's OU1 or OU2 and so on.
I'm getting stuck at evaluating arrMainOU(1) though. If I output the value to a file, then it only writes one value.
Any help would be appreciated - Thank you
Try this code snippet to understand the 'SPLIT' function:
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
strComputer = objSysInfo.ComputerName
Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strComputer)
arrOUs = Split(objComputer.Parent, ",")
retstring = ""
For ii = LBound( arrOUs) To UBound( arrOUs)
arrMainOU = Split(arrOUs(ii), "=")
For jj = LBound( arrMainOU) To UBound( arrMainOU)
retstring = retstring & "arrOUs(" & CSTR( ii) & ") = " & arrOUs(ii) & vbTab
retstring = retstring & "arrMainOU(" & CSTR( jj) & ") = " & arrMainOU(jj) & vbNewLine
Next
retstring = retstring & vbNewLine
Next
Wscript.Echo retstring

Autogenerate an email in an outlook and attach the currently open word document with VBS

I want to write a VBS macro to auto generate an email in outlook and attach a word document. I currently have a macro that does this for excel, but I can't get it to work for Word. I can't figure out for the life of me what my "FName= " should be. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have:
Sub AutoEmail()
On Error GoTo Cancel
Dim Resp As Integer
Resp = MsgBox(prompt:=vbCr & "Yes = Review Email" & vbCr & "No = Immediately Send" & vbCr & "Cancel = Cancel" & vbCr, _
Title:="Review email before sending?", _
Buttons:=3 + 32)
Select Case Resp
'Yes was clicked, user wants to review email first
Case Is = 6
Dim myOutlook As Object
Dim myMailItem As Object
Set otlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set otlNewMail = otlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
FName = ActiveWord & "\" & ActiveWord.Name
With otlNewMail
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = ""
.Body = "Good Morning," & vbCr & vbCr & "" & Format(Date, "MM/DD") & "."
.Attachments.Add FName
.Display
End With
Set otlNewMail = Nothing
Set otlApp = Nothing
Set otlAttach = Nothing
Set otlMess = Nothing
Set otlNSpace = Nothing
'If no is clicked
Case Is = 7
Dim myOutlok As Object
Dim myMailItm As Object
Set otlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set otlNewMail = otlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
FName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & ActiveWorkbook.Name
With otlNewMail
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = ""
.Body = "Good Morning," & vbCr & vbCr & " " & Format(Date, "MM/DD") & "."
.Attachments.Add FName
.Send
'.Display
'Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
'Application.SendKeys "%s"
End With
'otlApp.Quit
Set otlNewMail = Nothing
Set otlApp = Nothing
Set otlAttach = Nothing
Set otlMess = Nothing
Set otlNSpace = Nothing
'If Cancel is clicked
Case Is = 2
Cancel:
MsgBox prompt:="No Email has been sent.", _
Title:="EMAIL CANCELLED", _
Buttons:=64
End Select
End Sub
May it is a bit late, but I want to solve it for future use.
You want to have the active document as your file name (FName).
FName = Application.ActiveDocument.Path + "\" + Application.ActiveDocument.Name
' .Path returns only the Path where the file is saved without the file name like "C:\Test"
' .Name returns only the Name of the file, including the current type like "example.doc"
' Backslash is needed because of the missing backslash from .Path
otlNewMail.Attachements.Add FName
May you also want to save your current document before sending it via outlook, otherwise you will send the document without the changes made.
Function SaveDoc()
ActiveDocument.Save
End Function
I hope that this will help others, because the code from the question helped me a lot while scripting a similar script.
