I'm trying to create a VBS script that will grab all the fonts from the server font location so that the domain user will have the ability to use them. When I run this script I get a line 15 char 1 error: 800A400C.
Not sure what is wrong with it or if this script will do the job I'm wanting it to do.

I am using the below VBscript to change group type of couple of groups to Security. I am getting an error "The server is unwilling to process the request" when executing objGroup.setinfo.
Appreciate if someone can help to resolve this.

strNetBIOSDomain = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4)

You need to specify the group scope as well. Instead of just "ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED", you need "ADS_GROUP_TYPE_[type]_GROUP Or ADS_GROUP_TYPE_SECURITY_ENABLED", where [type] is GLOBAL, LOCAL, or UNIVERSAL.
I have been given a task of creating a script that takes a log file (date is in the filename), pulls the data and posts it in event manager. I have a script that works as it should I know the script is ugly so please be gentle. I'm looking for 2 things.
some days nothing has happened and no log for the day was created. when this happens my script causes all kinds of slowness in the PC. I need help with a way for the script to not do its task if no new file has been added to the logs folder.
I would like a little help cleaning up the script.
Like i said i'm very new to this and i used scripts found on the web and fit them to do what i needed them to do.
any help would be greatly appricated.

You can block your Dim'd variables
You are reactivating the objShell to many times
You have a for loop at the bottom of your code without a Next statement.
You don't need to iterate through the log file until it reaches AtEndOfStream, just store it in a variable first.
You can use the same objFSO more than once if your not resetting the object.
You need to include error handling so you know where your code breaks.
Revised code.

I have a VBS list script to list file,with various dates. All of the files are MS Word documents but I want the AUTHOR from the document attributes (I tried googling "author" attribute not the best search).
I am after a text list of all the documents in a folder :- File name , date accessed, date created, date modified and AUTHOR. I was hoping VBS would crack it but if there is another solution out there I am open to suggestions.

You'll have to go through the properties of the Word Application object.
Look here for instance how to do that.
Should be something like this:
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set oDoc = oWord.Documents.Open("myWordDocument.doc")
Set sAuthor = oDoc.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Author")
I'm trying to count the number of lines in a text file using VBScript. I have managed to do this without a problem for a text file with a fixed name. EG: "C:\Orig\sample.txt"
However, our filenames change daily, EG: "C:\Orig\sample*todaysdate*.txt"
I have looked high and low for a way to 'read' a file with a variable name and have had no luck.
What I have so far for a fixed file name is:
Dim oFso, oReg, sData, lCount, linesum
Const ForReading = 1, sPath = "C:\Orig\sample.txt"
Set oReg = New RegExp
Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sData = oFso.OpenTextFile(sPath, ForReading).ReadAll
With oReg
.Global = True
.Pattern = "\r\n" 'vbCrLf
lCount = .Execute(sData).Count + 1
End With
WScript.Echo("The total number of lines including the header is " & lCount)
Set oFso = Nothing
Set oReg = Nothing
This works perfectly well, but I just cannot find the correct syntax for a variable file name.
If it is of any help, the file I'm looking to interrogate will be the ONLY file in the containing folder.
Is anybody able to offer any assistance? Many thanks.
I have now tried the following:
Dim objFso, objReg, sData, lCount
Const ForReading = 1
sPath = "C:\Orig"
Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFso.GetFolder(sPath)
For Each objFile in objFolder.Files
Set objReg = New RegExp
sData = objFso.OpenTextFile(sPath, ForReading).ReadAll
With objReg
.Global = True
.Pattern = "\r\n" 'vbCrLf
lCount = .Execute(sData).Count + 1
End With
WScript.Echo("The total number of lines including the header is " & lCount)
Set objFso = Nothing
Set objReg = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
set sData = Nothing
Next
But on line 9 I am getting a 'Permission denied' error. I have checked folder permissions and file permissions and I have full rights.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Loop through the files in the folder instead. There's no need to name the file directly.
Dim oFso, oReg, sData, lCount, linesum
Const ForReading = 1
sPath = "C:\Orig\sample\"
Set oFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFso.GetFolder(sPath)
For Each objFile in objFolder.Files
Set oReg = New RegExp
sData = oFso.OpenTextFile(sPath, ForReading).ReadAll
With oReg
.Global = True
.Pattern = "\r\n" 'vbCrLf
lCount = .Execute(sData).Count + 1
End With
WScript.Echo("The total number of lines including the header is " & lCount)
Set oFso = Nothing
Set oReg = Nothing
